Every Day Poems

2022-01-11 00:04:13 Each time I woke up from my slumber,
you were always there,
there,
in the corner of my chamber,
as the cause of my nightmare.

There's no similarity between you and a human,
you gave me no sympathy as a ghost,
you stared me like a madwoman,
you haunted me like a revenant.

Yet somehow I craved for your presence,
and I grew uneasy at your absences,
you clouded my head with your presence,
and you made me feel guilty for your absences.

Have I lost my sanity?
Or you're the one who attracted me with your charm?
Lost in this wind of uncertainty,
it seems. Open / Comment

Down the roads of life,
The survivor stands the test of time.
Working hard before you could dine and wine,
For our survival is bound in our strife,
Married to us like husband to a wife,

Down the roads of life,
Lies tastes like sweet wine
And the truth as sour lime
Bitterness lives in the human anatomy
And our welfare is subject to the economy

Down the roads of life,
At a particular juncture,
Our wheels gets a puncture,
Due to potholes and rough roads,
For life presents us with unbearable loads.

Down the roads of life,
We don’t stop moving!
We replace the replaceable,
And manage the irreplaceable,
For our mechanic of hope;
Is in no other man or Pope,
But the very owner of our vehicles,
Thus, our God and maker;
The very one who provides us with our daily manna.


Down the roads of life,
Though rules and regulations are specific,
We choose not to oblige like the traffic,
But rather, we go on and on,
Cruising on the roads of life, till we get beyond.

Only as far as I seek can I go,
Only as deep as i look can I see,
Only as much as I dream can I be. Open / Comment

You call me a maniac, with fear breaking your throat and mortifying your tongue.

But what about you, what names have you earned for yourself, hmm?"

Gods and goddesses,
Spirits and ghosts,
That no one knows
If they exist or not.

2022-01-10 10:38:08 Right before the pretense smile slips away you have to turn your back to me.
I can't have you see the seething hate I've bore for months, trying to crawl out of my clenched teeth.
I can't have you near the wishes of revenge that flash on my eyes, it's supposed to be a surprise.
I can't have you hear the scraping of the wooden table under my finger nails, it's supposed to be a preview of what I want to do to you, but it's a show you're not invited to.
So turn your back while the smile that I have crafted for you is intact, turn your back from the horror that is caged, the fury that is chained, why must you rush the act? Open / Comment

2022-01-10 07:33:07 Scored seams of glitter and gold, battered the bridges of my flowy fancy fence, tripped my legs like the trespasser you are, found the key spotted in plain sight, tired to shove your way in like you posses every inch of me, stroking my skin to depart with specks of flame from your soft fingers, blowing your breath on my pale face as white roses with thorns caresses jungle full of baboons shushing the creatures of the dark away from the tide of our crooked boat.
Waves of pain mingled with pleasure lingered like a spice on the sorrow till sunrise. I raved basking on tombs that reflected on the marine as the mighty breeze took away the doubt of wits and the terror brewing in my lungs. I still can't help but despite of you being a swine crave you. The miracle behind the scenes of my muse. The one I boasted about to scary sharks circling our titanic.
In a way, I see us as them. Encountered dramatically and died tragically. The latter is unbearable to think of. Oh, I hope we are not them. I pray we are not them. I yearn to see you hold my hand at seventy eight. I want to feel your breath on my neck as we galloped on stallions. I want to weep when I hold our babe between my arms. I want us to last for as long as we last. Open / Comment

2022-01-10 03:29:05 Mark off the uncrossable abysses that separate the divine from the human,
We're no gods to sail without facing the waves sloshing and boiling in the ocean,
All bonds will break, snap and they’ll all start going – unravelling like one huge tapestry,
Imperfection lays in the recess of our dark soul, we have come short of the glory,

But darling, when you loosen the moorings, promise one bond will stand for eternity,
And we shall never give in if our boat keels over, We'll damn sail it with bravery. Open / Comment

2022-01-10 01:25:04 You preferred to be a paradox of Zeno,
I ran forward and forward to know,
but you'd preceded further,
to an infinity,
And I could not abide you
cause of this logical absurdity!
Likely to the Achilles and the tortoise,
I pretended to lose this chase.

2022-01-09 23:32:04 I spent half of my life waiting for you,
Yet I didn't catch even a glimpse of you,
This kind of longing,
Is my greatest pain in these last few hours,
Yet I bare no regret,no remorse,
For I had truly loved someone,
My living had not been in vain. Open / Comment
