genie



Come again, I just left for work five seconds ago and I miss you already?
Last minute cravings, you grant my wishes like a genie
Tall, handsome, smartass
Take out magical needle and thread me together
Smile me his sweet usual smile
Lets put down the scary together?
He lets no foul stay long
Cooks me food made out of love
Holds me with his tender hands
Those lips are pillows I safely land to again and again
I lock my eyes in yours
Your warm breaths are hot breeze in the cold
I am a lion tamed by my wolf
A leader, one of a kind
Give you a throne, well deserved
My loyalties lie with you
My love served in golden platter
My safe space, my growing garden
My hazel haired wolf
Howl like a hero
Love like a lover

inked

 

This is not the moment for the acknowledgement of terror

Its time to paint my face, body and soul

Push hard, soul might turn on again

Been flashing on and off all this while 

All maps in the bin 

White paper ahead and a pen right beside it

Is ink yours or borrowed? 

Did you nod again but to a new master?

Where are your weights? 

Oh they never returned them? 

Do you think these arches on your palm were carved?

And they are not your makings? 

You gave the brush away?

Now you use any that appraoches your hand? 

That pencil you sharpened but forgot to use? 

Do you not need glasses to see? 

Where did you buy your vision from?
