inebriated
the bones shrouded by silence
head discoes to the drum roll
of inner swell that bangs
numbness, this numbness
eyes know not how to blink
shred and scrap from the red roof falls
a heart with a limp is dragged
destruction, destruction
thumps and thuds of caustic silence
the bod swings on a blue tide so high
unleash the eruption within, gush out
deafening disquietude
these cues of un-spelled languages
sear the tongue succumbed to smoky distaste
dry cough of doubt with finesse
welcome, o welcome
leak from a faucet so worn out drips
ticking clock and creak of closing doors
shift of focus relieves
submissive invasion
into nothingness, escape from oneself
everything to find where one would be self
the noise shushed by intruders
sleep now
Written Frames, 2018

You write so very well… your art is strong enough to drag me into the scene of the uneasy self with an hypoxic mind. Questions swirling ever.
The picture is as distasteful as the abhorrent chemicals infusing the mouth, searing the “tongue succumbed”. Yet it fits with the words and is a brilliant choice.
Well done, poet, your writing stirs me yet.

I am stunned to know how experimental your tongue is to develop and admire variation of taste…
As I often say to you that you have an eye to see beauty beyond beyond ….so it goes for this…. If I believe this piece to be dear to my heart. ….your love and comment here makes me fall in love with it ….
Thank you D. ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

Yes, experimental and unorthodox my dear one.
It actually matters not the subject you choose, your passion and ability could make a grey stone shine like a gemstone. When you apply your art with concentrated attention you are in a league of one, you! With a unique voice. Someone could present me with 100 poems and I would know yours.
My pleasure watching you spin lines and lay yourself bare,
❤️❤️❤️❤️

How splendid it is that I have created an identity with you through my words…..
New kind of love this is where one remembers not the smell of the skin…but the pattern of words woven with care , reflecting indivuality….
You grace me ….dear Diana….!

Skin, it’s odour and touch .. mere layers of wrap, common cells shared with humanity. Yet words, they are the power. Words can ignite love even before skin touches skin. Words can release the essence of a soul – fingerprints that linger on the windows of time.
You grace me, sweet one 😌🌹

For us…words triggered tornadoes, earthquakes, eruptions between us and we are rapturous….cuz love is never a angel but a devil with a arrow so sharp that has hit us hard………destruction….. to construct from each other….
