evanescent eve;
tapped between thin fingerprints.
Somber eyes on spiral vapor -
contemplating
poisoned edge;
inhaling
death's breath.
Concrete ashes
achieve height
with abrupt stray
smear across window frames;
pause to stay.
This smoke
fades away...
I'm not the greatest poet To offer you extravaganza; I write because I love to, Be it worth nothing or bonanza; And I am within my poems - In every word, line and stanza...

The Blue Orchid...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once upon the Uni portal, watching all the passing mortals
Over heads of many studious fellows whom I would gladly ignore
While my legs were hanging, awkward, left leg, right leg backward, forward
Suddenly came crashing downward, cowardly upon the floor
" 'Tis no other head," I muttered, "For whom I jumped off to floor"
There you stood while I'm on floor...
Startled at my sudden falling, your amazed face I'm recalling
But my styling made you smiling which I've never seen before
Though I admit that sub-mission was not quite a good decision
And despite my pre-position I don't know why my back sore
You shook head and passed me by perhaps you thought I'm junkie or
Monkey at the Uni door...
"Ouch" I screamed and hardly stood, I rubbed my hand upon confused eye
In that undecided mood my mind was thinking, "I'm a dork!
She was right there but I let pass, tumbled as if wheel out of gas
Should not I be kicking own ass repeatedly back and forth?"
Since 'twas hard to move my own back, harder I kicked on the floor
"Ouch" to shout and nothing more...
On my way to home, quite trampled, I planned simple, picked one sample
For you, wished it would be ample to show it's you I adore
Although I'd have chosen red rose, or white or black or what who knows?
That blue orchid seemed to be close matching to the shade you wore
This I thought of that blue orchid for roses I was not sure
Unmatched to your bold allure...
Next day by the Uni portal not atop the passing mortals
For I have known it is fatal when body crashes on floor
Let myself be my guarantor, I've become The-Myself-Mentor
While on hang the legs act traitor empty space they do abhor
Down from portal I'm a mortal and to myself I assure
I'll be hanging nevermore...
Time was slow in expectation of your face in population
Impatient, with hesitation asked where'bouts to friend of yours
No class today told by your friend, coming day I'll have to depend
On the coming lonesome weekend, wished the days were less, not more
Wished that orchid will not wither and will last for some days more
One day, two days, three days, four...
Back upon the Uni portal away from all other mortals
In my pocket that blue orchid changed to shade the twilight bore
Suddenly I felt quite morbid I did what doctors may forbid
Looking at that withered orchid from it had the petals tore
Then started eating those petals, no instinct of herbivore
Last in me forevermore...

The Uninvited...

The ConFined...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So, there I was, you on the otherside
Since there's someone else, my love would not last
But there was this feeling I could not hide
If I said I still love you, would you trust?
Heard about it, never thought it'd be real
Sudden knock-down punch when love's tri-angled
And all I wanted to say how I feel
I did not know my life would be tangled...
And thence you saw me coming to you near
But pretended my shape could not be found
When you walked away, inside I could hear
A dark tempest that rages without sound...
...Unspoken words were for me to confine
...Couldn't tell you that you're mine and I'm thine...

The Autistic Mind...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Blackout...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Soundless voices, nefarious laughter
This dark symphony echoes through my space
Beneath the black beam of night, I alter
To the man that I fear and cannot face...
When in silence, your voice could still be heard
I recall the time I grew decrepit
And listened to your condescending word
Like one f u c k e d up origami puppet...
I was not the nice type of man, you see
Now this good-for-nothing turned bad for all
And I wonder how you would picture me
With your man's face chopped off, nailed to the wall...
...Trapped in the core of hemoglobin tide
...My perfect blackout is your safest hide...
