Season Change

The leaves are falling a little faster,
The temperature dips downward day by day.
It feels like the start of a new chapter,
But I'm stuck watching reruns, hitting replay.

Spine

Stack thirty-three vertebrae on top of each other like Jenga,
Add on a few pounds of pressure,
The parental and peer kind, both.
I got used to the pain, now it is my pleasure
To carry this heavy load.

Traces of You

My hands keep reaching out for yours

Even when you're not here anymore.
That alluring scent you exude
Keeps teasing me, pleasing me, putting me in the mood.
Those dark brooding eyes with which you stare at me from afar
Look at me the way an alcoholic looks at the bar.

I want to be your crippling addiction
The recipient of your adoration
Your one and only desire
The flame to your fire
Love me until I'm all you can do
Love me until all that's left behind are traces of you

Love and Other Drugs

There’s a new drug in town
That I can’t wait to get my hands on

They say he is addictive
I can attest to that myself
They say he’s super sweet
But I think he’s hot as hell

Like a moth to a flame
I find myself at his doorstep again
Begging for one more kiss
Begging for one more on my lips

“I swear it’s totally under control
It’s just a silly little crush”
Is what I told myself before
I fell head over heels for his touch.

No I don’t need rehab or an intervention
Because he is the perfect medicine
To heal my hollow heart
And make me feel like living art.

Migratory Bird

He was a winter bird,
Flying far from home.
He stayed with me for warmth;
I didn’t want to let him go.
“Everything is perfect, is it not?”
I say as I hold him close.
“The grass is green and the air is clear
You won’t ever have to deal with snow”
He looks at me with wet eyes,
Within him a fire’s aglow.
“My wings were made to soar”
He cries out as he leaves me alone.
And here I sit and wonder if 
He will return once more.

Contrast in Generations

When the people weren’t as blind as they are today
They could see through the lies politicians made
And demanded justice regardless of the price to pay.

Freedom

Being free from obligations is both a blessing and a curse, because you don’t know what your heart really wants. So many options, not enough time to choose, all you do is sit and muse.

Sunsets

When the Sun goes down, like it always does,

Purple and Red dance in the sky like lovers,

Painting the horizon with their passion.

Even the Stars blush as they carry on

Nature is a scaredy cat


Nature is a scaredy cat
Which jumps in fright on seeing a plastic bag,
And gets sick when we use things it dislikes
Once or twice or 7 billion times.
