SANA
PEOPLE SAY THAT EYES DOESNT LIE
CAN A STRANGER LOOK INTO MY EYES AND
TELL HOW DEAD I AM INSIDE??
There are times when my heart crave for your mere existence
Why Men Cry in the Bathroom

For so many reasons.
I will tell you the why.
I think you know,
Or perhaps, you think you know.

Men are always O.K.,
Even when not.

We expect the worse,
Accept the worse,
Nonetheless,
We are forever unprepared.

Wearily, we cry,
In the bathroom, in private,
Lest sighs slip by,
We be unmasked,
Early warring, strife signs warning.

Copious, tho we weep
Before the mirror confessor,
It is relief untethered,
Unbinding of the feet,
An uncounting
Of beaded rosaries,
Of freshly fallen hail stones,
Of night times terrors
By dawn's early edition's light,
and welcomed.

But look for the mute tear,
The eye-cornered drop,
*** tat, that never drops,
But never ceases formation and
Reforming, over and over again,
In a state of perpetuity of reconstitution,

The tippy tear of an iceberg revealing,
And I see you peeping, wondering,
What is beneath


Look for:
the torn worm-eaten edges of spirit,
thrift shop bought, extra worn,
grieving lines neath the eyes,
where the salt has evaporated,
discolored the skin.
worry lines,
under and above,
browed mapped, furrowed boundaries.
the laugh line saga,
where better days are stored,
recalled, as well as recanted,
publicly, privately.

Why just men?

I don't know,
Perhaps,
it is all I know.

your effusive and lengthy comments are each a poem in their own right.

With a push from Bala,
A serial peeper, thank God!

Why do I still think maybe the reason I never confessed my feelings
is the same reason he might have stopped himself too..
It's all in my head but I wanna get over everything šŸ¤

If I am left,
Then he is right.
If he is day,
Then I am night.
If he is right,
Then I am wrong.
If I am dusk,
He is dawn.
If I am here
Then he is there.
If he is grounded
Then Iā€™m in the air.
If I am weak
Then he is strong.
And if things donā€™t change
Soon heā€™ll be gone
Silly little thought from group
I am Sin
In its purest and rawest form.
& for that, I have no shame
as fire in the bible resembles
purification.
I...
repent.

And so
as this fire
burns between my legs
flickering images of your full, yet delicate figure
cross my mind.

I turn into myself
& wish me anew.
my fingers cupping and twirling
so gracefully...
caressing...
as I scream my confessions

I'm born again.
Breaking free of religious constraint. Indulging in pleasure is natural & when wanted, a beautiful thing.
In the spotlight, I stand alone,
No partner to call my own,
But I'm loving this time, I'm free,
Living life just for me.

I've got my friends by my side,
With them, I'll take this wild ride,
No heartaches, no tears to cry,
Just laughter and dreams up high.

I'm not searching for love, it'll find its way,
I'm living my life, day by day,
No rush, no worries, I'm in my prime,
Single at the moment, and it feels just fine.

I'm building my empire, chasing my dreams,
No limitations, no boundaries, it seems,
Every day's an adventure, I'm on my own track,
Single and strong, there's no looking back.

I'm single at the moment, feeling so alive,
No commitments, no need to hide,
I dance through the night, under the stars so bright,
Single and thriving, yeah, that's my vibe

So here's to the singles, wherever you roam,
Embrace this time, make it your own,
Life's a journey, let your spirit ignite,
Single at the moment, shining so bright.
