im so srs humans were made for art and friend and food and beddy bye. i mean this
and help each other. humans were made for help each other
What if there existed no other language on earth except something deeply symbolic: a handshake, a hug, a kiss. The sheer capacity of the human body to express by itself, be it through the eyes or by the hands is simply amazing. A touch could be more healing than any other medicine discovered till date. And don’t ask me what wonders those lips could do if they were to just widen a bit with a hearty smile, enough to bring all the heavenly bliss. Get your body involved, tongue is not the crown of expression, it’s merely a medium resorted in the last phase. Otherwise, your entire being is more than enough to express beautifully by itself - this body, in which you reside, is the perfect symbolic epitome of what your soul is truly made of…

my name is elephant
I don’t fit the rhyme scheme
I drink the soup
It’s not like you’re going to stop memy name is ‘Phant
i do not fit
the poem scheme
i will omit
but i don’t care
and nor should you
unstoppably,
i drink the soup
I’m ollyfant
with legs like trees
and any time
I dam well plees
Thro window smalle
as jeweler’s loupe
I reach insyde
I drink the soupe

“you were my first love and you always will be. i can’t say i don’t miss you but i cannot keep you here with me forever. the memory of the person you used to be is slowly fading and i’m starting to forget what it felt like to love you. what it felt like being loved by you. i see you with her and i resent you. i’m scared that my memories of you as my first love will be overshadowed by the destruction you caused in the end.”

the sun danced on Ector street
warming each home and those who roamed
I was only a visitor at the time,
life had wings and flowed with each breeze,
every hope and dream breathed from the concrete — the roots of your home
sun rays gleamed from and at you all at once
we couldn’t see past each beam
blinded by light or love
and we shared it unequally.
we rise and fall like each passing day,
we failed to last our eternity
or perhaps we have just begun—
the sun still dances on Ector street
maybe that is us.
we would talk about the rain
and wish it would pour on us for days
hope for long trips to sights
we’ve never seen before.
letting things slip,
the mind unravels what once was
right in front of us
but which now lays behind
with you beneath to only wish
on the possibility
of our dreams
being alive,
wherever you reside.
open wounds laid on the bed
safe for them to take their meds
open wounds make people cringe
too gruesome for them to understand
open wounds from a pen
bleed red
from delirious wolves who devoured the flesh
open wounds from your own head
written for all to live and say aloud instead
follow the shadows of the leafless trees
each route a different one
where a new life has sprung.
even in conditions of weariness
the shadows lead to
a place for you
to confide or to lose
everything you ever knew
before stepping foot
in a path never took
you wander through the waves
but your body lays buried
and your philosophy decays
each day you attempt to salvage our moments
where our lips met or cursed
where our hands gripped or stayed loose
and though the past is over and done with
you’ve created waves to crash through my brain
where these moments leak to my mind
giving your philosophy new life
and you remain through the salvaged kisses and moments
until i join you for what is left of our voyage
day breaks into new
for some to fly or fall;
you watch them scatter around trying to find their place in
fields of eight foot sunflowers or treacherous minefields
with their teeth out for the world to see they are happy
or expressionless to keep trespassers away;
you witness the madness in a new day
watching hope play mind games of her own
where sunrise is an imposter for change, and merely a chance for all
either to fly or to fall.
