A remedy for Anger










What's a remedy for anger
Anger that leaves you numb
Twists
Like a knife deeply wedged
In your gut.
Anger that leaves you impotent
Anger that torments you
With lust for blood
With red dreams of
Slit throats spurting.
Anger at lives
Futile
For it ends
At the hands of your helplessness.
Anger for the those
Who don't care enough
Who sleepwalk through existence.

This knife I twist further
To quench my blood thirst.

Pursuit of Poetry


On a day like today
When my arms want to give away
Feet hurt with immobility
Sleep rules every emotion
Every emotion becomes a drag
Every moment is worse than a wait
For unrequited love
For the day seems to extend
Beyond my want to breathe.
On a day like today
I wonder
If you can hear me loud and clear.
Can you?

Streaming

And I think I’ll just wait
         While my palm digs into my cheek
  And the bright red chases the light red
         While streaming some song on youtube.
And my feet have gone numb
               While holding the same position
   And all morning I’ve blinked a gazillion times
            While I wait for maybe just one sign from you?

Untitled

Have you ever been there
10,000 phone numbers
Listed on your phone
But not one to call?
Sitting idle on a Sunday afternoon
Hoping life would happen to you
But it doesn't?
Realising everyone but you
Is celebrating something
While what you are celebrating
Is your independence or
Is that lonliness I sense?
Well this is the price you pay
For being bull-headed
Perhaps my mother would say.
I guess she's right!
