Just Smile

A mountain has
Died somewhere.
Birds have staged
A mourning.

An ocean seems
To have dried up.
Men seem have 
Stopped crying. 

A lover's caress
Has lost its glow.
Act of listening,
Is a gone now.

A stranger to 
Feed a stray dog,
Trust in humanity
Has been restored. 

Strange is time,
Changed have
The rhymes.

For all our petty
Chimes, Gods 
Have stopped
Giving hearty whines.

Don't worry you'll
Soon be fine.
Just buckle up..
Wear a smile.

Poem Currency

Broken pens
Don't have 
A say.

Empty papers
Are as good
As a hope
That's nay..

For a war
That's waged
In head,

Poetry is a
Price I gotta
Pay.

Lois Lane

She's a story
Broken out 
Of an empty
Page.

Loneliness,
Freshly out 
Of a 
Windowpane.
..
A dance down
My memory
Lane.

First sign
Of summer
Rain.
..
Between the
White lies
And charred
Truths...

A perspective
She can paint, 
Drives me 
Insane.
..
For the person
I've been.
She has
Little to gain.

I'm no
Clark Kent.
But she's my
Lois Lane. 
.. 

Rorschach

Mother raised
Me by working
In a furnace.

Father named
Me after all
The brothels
He visited.

For the sky
I slashed open
There was
No luminance.

To the 
Bondage I'm fed,
Darkness is
All I can sell.

If you've
Complaints,
Don't just
Start to bark.

For me,
You just might
Be a to be
Squished wart.

While the 
White Doves
Are just a
Playful feed.

For me,

Life is a
Funeral pyre.
Peace is just 
Another sham. 

Empty Page

Shooting stars,
To run down
In vain.
Wishing bones
Are writhing in
Shame.

For a story 
I wanted to write
I've forgotten 
My own name.

Colours faint
Out of boredom,
On the canvas
I want to paint.

Melodies stand
Divided for a
Song that's
On it's way.

Before I could
Conjure,
God has stoned
My fate...

For the 
Shipwreck
Between my
Ribcage...

I'm just a 
Tale in a
Torn out page.

Dirge

Like distorted
Melodies of 
A grieving
Pianist.

She speaks
As if we're
Casualties
In love.
..
Like clouds
Would cry
For death 
Of a crow.

Trees would
Feel for a
Forgotten
Dove.
..
All nights
She paints
Our memories
In black.

Shoots down
Our stories,
Stacked in
The rack.
..
For the 
Stones she is
Throwing at
Our fate.

The fruits
Offered will
Surely stink 
Out a dirge..
..
