Inside Me

Harajuku girl,
made of the most minuscule,
held by harlot scars.

Angel stood silent
whilst his band of thieves stole hearts,
and captured lust beats.

Slow sweat slid off skin.
Heat became the sweet, moist air
and unbalanced him.

Need fathered aching
as he watched himself unfurl
beyond Heaven's gates.

Snapshots in his mind
left him reels of negatives
that would develop

With each fall of breath,
their life dripped from lips to chin.
Such perfect distance.

She waited to speak,
surface poised in mercury-
like tension, waited.

His wings cocooned her,
as he searched for her in her.
She spoke of nothing.

Eyes could not see her.
She was lost to what she did.
She's under his skin.

Angel flew away.
With each breath he had fallen.
Now he flies alone.

Leaving him a gift
inside, her body soon changed.
They meet in clinic.

She remembers him,
but mentions not of longing,
when she takes her pills.

Corporeal waste
never becomes general
if it remains loved.

A Room for Alexander Pope

A rose is still a rose

As it loses fragrance.

Some will look upon it

Pluck it, sniff it,

and discard it to the ground.

"It has lost its purpose to me"

They justify their actions,

for they are human.

The rose smiles as it decays

To be part of the worm

And the bird that eats it.

To be part of the soil

that blankets our seeds.

To be part of the strength

Beneath our feet.

The rose forgives

For it knows

What vanity does not.

Navin Alaff

Like the fatalist,

kamikaze in nature,

open arms deceive.

This mouth-cage is a bed, 
not a grave.
You drank on noxious notes,
While other men fainted
With amnesia of affectation.


Why do you even ask to live?
Can skin, temptingly taut
against delicious bone
tear you from study of this world?
Or have you realised 
where you misplaced your attention?

Reflect on the purpose of creation.


When one heart bleeds into another,
Saturations mix, and those who have breathed much

Give life to those that forget for themselves.
Take heart, Lover, your Beloved makes loopholes of blowholes!!!


This Orca rises to gasp for me again
Watch the glimmer of wings sprout from his back,
That they may carry us home.
