Sharp, edgy like her glances, She swiftly moves her seductive eyes to the other corner of the room, Trying to hold back her desires. Soft, round like her voice that can melt his heart. “What do we do tonight, my lover, Where do we go? How much time do you need to explore, The taste [...]

My Song

My Song

The momentum - solemn stillness holds, Lifting up my spirits, high, High above the blue sky; in form of rays from the Sun, It shimmers like a thousand fireflies, Up, high above the sky.  I hear the sound of solitude, ringing into my ears; Telling me the tales of love, Almost impossible to recognize my [...]

Nami/Anna

Nami/Anna

“Nami”- Not that I hear anybody calling me that anymore but that doesn’t mean I don’t know how it feels to be called “Nami” He’s not around anymore but that doesn’t mean his voice doesn’t ring into my ears like before. It finds me when I’m at my most vulnerable, lying on the floor. It [...]

Roma

Roma

Listen to the Spoken Word version of this poem *** I met you on a starlit night, Under the glistening beams of a half-faced Luna. I knew we were meant to be, It was as if the stars aligned and brought you closer to me. Roma, I fell in love with you, Will you stay [...]

Souls

Souls

The roaring waves of the seven seas, Come undone the bond in between, Lovers we have known for long, Their love has become song For those yet to come, Generations, Bond of souls, Not of Skins.

Roulette

Roulette

Does your heart get heavy when you crawl out of her bed? Tiptoeing to the front door before the tears are shed, Little whispers and whimpers are heard, A little after breaking the walls around the heart that once barred.   One fine day I had spent in your company from dusk to dawn, Unaware [...]

Sandcastle

Sandcastle

Leisure let me build my fragile grainy home, Standing timidly, defying its own fate, A faintly gate, and a well-shaped dome.   Centuries gone, lovers have cried, Over the loss of bonds that they nurtured. To have captured, time, oh! Yes, they tried.   The waves hit the walls and melted the land, But the [...]

Reprise

Reprise

Just when I thought my memory served me right, The strange essence of adultery in the middle of the night, Passed out on the floor, stench of cheap wine, Avenged, destructed, painted in red for being out of line.   After many years, I came around the same place, Accompanied by the crass and the [...]

Love Ballad

Love Ballad

Look at you now, How quickly you fell asleep in my arms, Yes! We can be oblivious of the time, It goes by too fast. I would like you to linger, Wonder if we can hold on any longer.   Years from now, We will still be laying together, On the beach, under the Tuscan [...]

Love Lockdown

Love Lockdown

She whimpers in the middle of the night. No, this isn’t the first time. I’ve heard her silent cries before. “Does she call my name?”   Her eyes have lost all shine. Her youth has fallen over time. I see her unruly thoughts, Unwinding, unraveling, uncluttered.   This spring has been the toughest, His shadow [...]
