Staring at a blank paper
Is an artist's worst nightmare.
The artist is the shaper,
Their thoughts somewhere up in the air.
They are searching for inspiration,
Sometimes they are even searching the skies.
It takes a lot of concentration,
But you can always see the passion burning in their eyes.
Being an artist does not always mean you're creative.
It just means that you want to create something,
And never want to give up.

here's my heart;

paranoia and angry poetry.
sweat stains and shampoo.
intentional amnesia, scars.
discoloured bitemarks.
heart-shaped hickeys.
fresh flavourless flesh.

i lay on my bed,
with you in mind
(with everyone you replace
or everyone to replace you)
i lay on my bed,
writing nonsense in the form
of broken stanzas--
of haikus japan
would frown upon. you know what?
fuck syllables. fuck you, too.
(oh wait, i already did that.
oh
i could laugh forever except
laughter always makes me cry.
i could dance in the rain except
the water drenches my clothes
and makes me cold and wet and
miserable.
i could wish on a star except
it's too far away for the sound to
travel and no one would ever
hear me.
i could try to love you except
i'm too afraid.

kill two promises with one lie
it was the day i swore
to never love anyone;
i heard doves chirping
goodmorning lullabies
to some deaf pigeon.
i opened my window,
and shot them twice.
once,
because they are wasting their time
and mine. so why not put them out
of their misery?
then once again,
because at six am,
i do not want any fucking birds
making noise or making love or
making a mess of my mind as i
try to sleep another dreamless
night. one for every damn bird
in this cyan-scribbled sky. two
for every earaching coo. three
for every winged beast singing
elegies that remind me of gods
that remind me of holidays that
remind me of the times you lie

i can't control
where i live,
who i sit by,
what i like,
who i love
&
you can't control
the countries your father trades you to,
how far away the moon is,
what your body looks like,
who you love
oh, you know this already.
let's blame it on biology
it's the fault of genetics,
of chromosomes.
let's blame our alleles
for playing favourites.
Let's cut to the chase:
your body on his bed.
Let's cut to the chase:
it all ends with a sigh.
Let's cut to the chase:
you're beautiful, girl,
we both know this,
we both know how
science plays favourites.

i'll admit it:
i killed you.
but i couldn't help it, i swear!
it was dark, and you weren't
wearing any clothes, and we
were making love

puzzle, like how i
fit my keys in your
glove department.
how i fit my heart
in your ribcage, or
how my hips fit in
yours, or how you
fit in my bedsheets
like some inflamed
contortionist, your
hands tied behind
my back.
i ricocheted off your leg;
you figured out 8-down:
what's a six-letter word
for 'a result of adultery'
you thought babies,
i thought murder
