Pain

I succumb to pain 
It swirls my nerves
A wild calling of the senses 
Burning force wrapped in gossamer
It’s screaming strength 
Torches my skin 
Nourishing my mind to evade 

I cannot overcome 

It catches me in my gut 
Wrenches my breath 
I try to deal with it 
It transcends my mortal 

I am a survivor till death tears me into vulnerability.

the figure of speech 
i am trying to 
figure out

Sunflowers

I sprinkle stardust on 
Van Gogh’s flowers 
and feel the sun’s warmth in their yellow heartbeat.

Binary Haiku

My brain is not cooperating. My muse seems to be on vacation. So I have had enough crossing t’s and i’s, here’s a poem in binary 

01001001 00100000 01100100 01101111 00100000 01100011 01100001 01110010 01110100 01110111 01101000 01100101 01100101 01101100 01110011 00100000 11110000 10011111 10100100 10111000 11100010 10000000 10001101 11100010 10011001 10000000 11101111 10111000 10001111 00100000 01101111 01101110 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01110010 01110101 01101110 01101110 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01110100 01110010 01100001 01100011 01101011 00100000 00001101 00001010 01010100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01110011 01101011 01111001 00100000 01110011 01101111 01101101 01100101 01110010 01110011 01100001 01110101 01101100 01110100 01110011 00100000


I feel giddy 
already.


Here is the actual haiku 

I do cartwheels 🤸‍♀️ on the running track 
The sky somersaults 

Dope Wisecracks

I once heard the pot calling the kettle black 
Angry kettle gave the pot a smack.

The pot had a crack at the coke
Piping hot coke went up in smoke 

Herb and flower joint in for a comeback.
