My body feels weak, Perhaps I’m no longer young, Closing in on three decades now, Yet supposedly, life has only begun. Every day, I feel a small ache, Nothing too heavy, yet it gets in my way, Like a relentless companion, A new ailment greets every day. I’m reminded of…

Here’s a reading I did of my poem “Cosmic Grace”. As I gazed at the stars one night, a thought suddenly struck me: What if they were looking back at me? I began to wonder what they made of my life, or of our lives in general. Given their ancient…

Thus, another day has passed, The sun has set, And the world is asleep. Not knowing for sure If, and to what, It will awaken. The assumption is thereFor another day,But nothing’s ever certainAs nature has her ways. So people will wake upAnd go on with their lives,Never thinking twiceAbout…

I’m proud to present my first-ever music video! This very low-cost video was made entirely from the comfort of my apartment. Not only did I not have the budget to shoot anything professionally, but this also suits the vibe of ‘Working Days.’ The song is about how we are always…

I lust, I hunger, I desire,For another man’s touch.Yet these thoughts are violent,At least everyone treats them as such. Puberty, itself, isn’t the crime;It’s my orientation they judge,As if it’s any less sinfulTo desire a woman’s touch. My lust always turns to shame,A demon taunting me with blame,Confusing me with…

Continue reading →: Abstract Painting – A Sea of GreenHere is another painting I did. For this one, I wanted to convey the image as if you are looking at endless green from high up. It’s an abstract painting conveying the sense of forests and nature from a different perspective. Tell me, what do you see in this painting?…

I don’t wear my feelings on my face,Hiding them is easier,Leaving my truth somewhat erased.It’s just less effort to notDelve into my twisted ways.
