The Poetry Marathon

I lay on the bed groaning in hunger

Food won’t stay

Not even the liquid ones

My stomach knows no medicine

Even the urine was no therapy

Sound the alarm, I am hungry

Tell the priest to pray for me

As blood is what I need

My fangs are straining

Hoping for a bite

My arms are flapping

Ready to leap for the hunt

Like an evil cape man

I am hungry

Screw the test and sacrifice

A beast won’t fix my hunger

Though ancient and vampired

I too, as you are

Is hungry for love

It didn’t have much choice

When I signed up for fangs

Did sign up for these?

I am five again, running down the street of candies

Every tree with fruity sweets

The wafered houses are coated with chocolate

The jelly grasses are of myriad colors

An old man works ahead with a candy shovel

Digging for a treasure of gummy bears

Even His tooth is gone

Empty with sores of decay

He took my hand to place a curse

Murmuring words from unknown fragments

Woof! Woof!

There comes Randy,

My dog in shining fur

Bite his legs  in ardent valor

Then the man fell in abject horror

Into the hole, he had dug

Closed up it did,

As my dog zoomed off

I looked up

Alas! It is raining gummy bears

Hurray!

For what is worth, I woke on the good side of my bed

My spines felt impulses and the brain knew

The dusk spells out fog

Like a tobacco weed elongating my sleep

My hand spread out to the silky touch of the sheet

Breathing in the fresh taste of brewed caffeine

My sight are cleansed with the brightness of the sun

Off I jumped on the lacy pant of my wooly coat

With a glance to my window

A beautiful white flake on a free ledge

On my couch, I sat

My coffee on right

My remote on left

Ready for a Netflix battle

It screams Stranger things

it’s gonna be a jollyday.

(more…)

I tried to see you, the way I want to

I want to feel you, the way you want to

I have stories to tell you

Oh you already knew them

You read my mind

I can’t have secrets with you

I can’t even hold them

I don’t know if a relationship is possible

But based on your expertise

Who wouldn’t want one with you

I wish I could really know you

I wish I could stand with you

In All bitterness and sweetness

In all pain and joy

In all success and failures

I wish I could know you deeply

Talking all nights till the daybreak

I wish sleep won’t come when you tell me these deep things

It’s obvious you know me more

I wish I could be with you

I want to know if I’m important

You know you are to me

Should I keep wishing

Or will you show your self?

Scattered in the seas of none ya

Like the shredded leaves of the wintered tree

A branch broken from it’s home

I stand on the cliff

Not ready to fall off

But ready to leave at the moment

A moment of royal emotion

Soaked in honey deep

A moment so shiny

In sunny spring

A moment so content

The memories didn’t matter

As the breeze take me

On a journey trip

Whispers of words in ecstasy

Kisses of love from glowing lips

Hugs my being in a sweaty squeeze

And soft caresses on my bruised back

Still, I want more,

I wish Oliver could think less

But nothing could explain why

But staying, getting fixed on the edge of the cliff

Is my gain

A little step backward, I can’t take

For now, is the time

No forgone alternative

The fullness of time is spent.

The dark place with a glowing splint

The secret pit with an invisible lid

Ancient in its stake

Rather unkempt for our sake

Dangerous creatures of myriad shape

With voidless face with no shame

And slimy tooth of rotten shit

Arms with legs like animals

It has not,

But the legs of a spiny arachnid

It screams are like razor

Slicing through the darkness

Prolonging the dead sense

As decay rise up from the live bodies

In the webbed nest

Please open sesame!

Oh! Bloody portal

An escape we crave

From lonesome place

It’s coming, the monster!

Abracradabra portal!

• Open up, before she makes me her leg! (more…)

 She said, stick to your voice

Don’t let anyone tell you neither

They will come as they go

As life as always let me behind

She said, fear the friends

Of the ostrich and the vultures

They have wings

And they will fly

And their legs will leave you behind

She said, walk by the path

For the sun is yet to go down

When it does the lamp comes on

So that old age won’t be a waste

She said,  run now that you can

Your muscled feet will puff

And scram the forest

For there, the meat lies

So that you won’t grow up hungry

She said, be selfish once to thyself

But give to others, learn to give

Giving is seed

The flower is the blessing

So that your hands  won’t be folded

She said, lead the way

Because no one will want to

But they will follow you

When you are not static

She said, don’t be afraid

Fear is just a friend

So that when death comes kicking

You won’t be caught unaware.
