Unchanged.

It brought her to her knees,
splashed cold black paint on her smooth frame,
it did not change her heart…

she didn’t mind its cruelty,
didn’t mind the stains,
couldn’t care less for her figure,
it did not change her heart…

only when whispers grew louder it stung deep,
swayed her own faculties,
taught her distrust,
it did not change her heart…

the image from his eyes broke her,
all it took was an undeserving painter,
one eager to narrate at no cost,
promptly colour,
on the dot wounding her soul.
it did not change her heart.

A tired chronicle

He is very kind to me,
Nothing l say makes things better
I still want to hear him say, anything.
I wanted to say happy father’s day to future father of my kids…
That particular day we weren’t that in love.
Or maybe a, “thanks” and heavier silence.
Last night l thought l would wake up better after crying myself to sleep.
I think tears heal the skin, they’re quite salty, at least l get that…

The Box

he is always in his head,
storing consciousness would be welcome,
that way he lives on.
her, on the other hand is an adrenaline junky, living off energy.
her claustrophobia would kick in, she imagines.
she would miss her hands…and his
A box of consciousness.

Tongue

Destroyer of worlds

Conveys as thought, raw, uncultured

Pure intentions burn at its mercy

Its foolishness to try to redeem

May this remorse count

Only to the gods of virtues

Given a chance to unwind time,

I still possess no eye for delicacy

_I very much meant well.

24 HOURS

Its my fault, Laziness, l took her in

I did not think of her long term stay, its always easy with her….Nothing is ever easy.

I became numb to responsibility,

Failure eats my insides like acid,

My blood poisoned, tastes bitter,

Arms weak as l write this,

I am broken.

24 hours, l keep telling myself,

24 hours a day…

IN MY DREAMS

-In my dreams l was making out with her small frame and still couldn’t look her in the eyes.

-In my dreams when we got separated, they were turned into monsters, my “friends”.

-In my dreams, l was the only survivor.

-In my dreams wine tastes like fresh grape juice and together with him, we got intoxicated.

Whether or not l create subconsciously or these are signs of some sort from the gods, IN MY DREAMS…l escape.
