Don't Go to the Morrows

Don't go to the morrows,

I haven't had enough of you

For all my love that I contained

for the past years was just released.

And when I see you leave,

I don't know what to do with all the love,

I don't know how to complete our broken conversations.

I told myself it was just a bad dream,

Only it is not.

People said we were too good together

and our smiles synced

And we seemed to be in Paradise of love.

So don't go to the morrows,

If we stick together,

We can create a better symphony,

we can be each other's muses,

where you can paint me

While I write about you.

And now that I think of it,

It has always been you in my poems,

Several people asked me 'who are you?

I told them you are everyone,

Everyone and everything that loved me,

But they were not convinced.

They want 'the one'

I can't give them 'the one' when there is no 'one'.

That's when you decided to go,

Leave my thoughts alone.

But don't go to the morrows

If you stay, we can conquer many minds,

Provide solace to many hearts

Like we always did.

Tell me if I can chase you if you leave,

Tell me you will return,

Don't just hang me here like an unfinished portrait.

I wish I had the courage to write without you,

I wish there are enough choices for me to make,

And despite all these,

I wish you could help me write one last poem.

Madeline’s Mirror

Madeline’s mirror told her she’s fat, It appalled at her shapeless dress, Covering a chunk of flesh. She looked at her broad shoulders And big breasts, which reminded her of a pile of clothes that no longer fits her. But Madeline smiled and applied her eyeliner effortlessly. Her mirror sneered at her chafing thighs kissing each other when she moves. Madeline’s mirror found her plush lips contradicting the pair of flesh on either side of it. It spotted the two chins fighting for space like contestants in the combat zone. Madeline admired her freckleless skin, and applied her favourite lipstick. The mirror reflected her flabby arms complementing her saggy belly. Madeline moved closer to her mirror, which still in oblivion, started to produce sympathetic smiles at her legs. It mirrored how her legs carry all the weight, hiding under her flowy dress. Appreciating her silky hair and perfectly manicured...

Reminders

I want you to remember The photograph, you loved On the wall, That reminds me Of the last spring Where the potted sunflowers At our home smiled And the hanging creepers Mumbled, Of the girl who was looking For someone. You saw a thousand figures Dancing in her pupils A Mexican woman in Her huipil, A drunken man with his Lyre; Looking for the right Strings,And A peahen waiting to mate. You admired the Vine stems heading North In the picture, The cheap beads that The girl wore And the broken bridge Behind her, From which a fish Jumped for a self introduction. And when you remember Your dear picture, I want to remind You of the Coffee cup that tasted Your lips, The laundry drugged By your smell And the mirrors that Reflected your images. And you should know that The sunflowers no longer smiled And the creepers were silent Till yesterday. But today when The rain sprinkled its drops I see clearly the pupil Of the girl, Dark and intense,...

Twenty-Five

They say twenty-five matters, 25 is the age where you are asked to be responsible, You are supposed to bring home food, It's an age where your uterus has to be fukcing good, It is an age where you have to be fair And good as a nymph, It is when your wallet should have a five-figure sum. They say at twenty-five, You will be twenty-five times purer than ever, To breed and nurture, No dear not your dreams, but your children's. But that's not it. I SAY THAT IS NOT IT. It is an age where you realize, You no longer have the desire to live the monotonous life, You no longer feel alive at a celebration, You find yourself as the perfect company, You don't care if you die today or tomorrow, You want to puke at people who restrict you from doing things. You no longer want to be surrounded by people, And your skills are your only saviours. At 25, you no longer care if people love ...
