Book preview

INDIAN CURRY

I wish life was sweet as honey, that way I wouldn’t be able to

Carry this anger like I was at an indian dinner and now I

Have to let all the curry out!

The fire in my lungs as I beat the hell out of my chest I

Wonder if I was a dragon in my past life! Sometimes I

Wonder if not discipline is not pride? If we really do think

About it maybe I might be wrong. In high school I fell for the

Wrong girls! Maybe it was because of the weed I tried at the

Toilets and thought it was cool.

I am a poet because of these girls as I would write them

Poetry expressing myself but for my generation it seemed to

Be out of style. If you utter a word explaining how you are

Feeling you would be tripping!

Many bottled and got bodybagged. Before I knew what to do

With poetry I would hung my lifeless body which would drag

Its feet walking down the streets, on a tree. Poetry the tree of

Life its branches reaching out to my heart, rooting itself to

Anchor my soul.

––––––––

I write poetry to console myself,

She left me solo. My soul untenanted.

You were a season passed you are,

Thought our love blooming

As it was spring

I  don’t know the reason

You would fall of , damn I was looking forward

To a family tree and leave

As a dead leaf in autumn.

Apparently I write poems about any person I meet, well

The ones I met I explored their energy and discovered

Something enticing to the pen like...

Lora being a mess.. she ain’t really a mess tho, uhm

That’s what I think. Her looking like a girl’s room after

Searching for a dress to wear for a date with a stud..yes. There is beauty in the mess even better I think she is a

Masterpiece her mess is messing with your mind

Testing how artistic your soul is.

Or pedrov who is suffering mentally and emotionally

But he decided to work it out
