Foul Play
I cultured your faults Allowed you to bloom and blossom Giving reason behind every imperfection Your flaws became trademarks of beauty I couldn’t help but love You stood before me a rattled mess Tangent in thoughts and a helpless digression The kind of distraction only this compassion could unfold Your heart was cold Mine was mindless The better part of me fell into the palms of a wrecked soul...

As simple as...
Kiss me Flawlessly No lies to taint our lips Broken promises need not exist Let this touch be simple Almost real As true as words can feel Lingering softly above broken hearts As if intended to mend mine Gently excavating inner damage Ridding mind and body Clarifying reality As if love could almost subsist

I lost my way some time ago. Some days I wish I could pin point exactly when so that maybe I could figure out what it was that I did so wrong. Lately, I’m just hoping I can find my way again. I listen to him preach sometimes. Sit there in a solemn corner away from judging eyes and callous hearts, just listening. His voice feels like heaven, his words feel like home. With every scripture follows...

This book... I could not put down.
“I am not a smart man, particularly, but one day, at long last, I stumbled from the dark woods of my own, and my family’s, and my country’s past, holding in my hands these truths: that love grows from the rich loam of forgiveness; that mongrels make good dogs; that the evidence of God exists in the roundness of things.
This much, at least, I’ve figured out. I know this much is...

These days, I find myself doing more reading than writing. Putting faith into words written at the hands of others, seeking comfort and familiarity. I wish I could say I were reading scriptures and putting my belief in religion, but creed has lost its conviction with me. I’d rather find solace in the lexis of Socrates or knowledge in the vows of Nietzsche. Let the language of philosophy take over...

Sometime between then and now we lost ourselves, finding refuge in misplaced homage and mistaking love for who can hold on the longest. We were never satisfied with everything, so we left it all behind, riding a stowaway train to recovery. His eyes begged for salvation with deep gazes that seemed more misleading than honest. He’d quote the tunes of love songs because that’s the only way he was...

He’s addicted More so to the chase than the temporary high Finding refuge in reason Some dedication to the pursuit of…something? Trivial as it may be It’s a motive for survival Living life like today is his last Nothing good can come from sleep So he scrapes by on doses rather than dozes Appreciating dawn’s arrival As if he’d won some kind of battle But come the evening it’s like he lost the war...

It is officially the first of the year and my how things have changed.
I’ve sat staring at a computer screen for what feels like forever, attempting to write about the triumphs and tribulations of a year that has ended and the hope and promise of the year that has begun.
This is probably my most difficult post.
Every year I am in awe of the changes that occur in my life. Every December I...

I love you
It was that simple. Yet it made all the difference in the world.

His lips were stained with the sour taste of bitter Every so often tainted memories would come spilling out Like toxins A regurgitating form of venting His words poured out his heart onto a tarnished platter Overcome with confined resentment Disdain overshadowing any sense of mind He had been hurt And that’s the only way he could describe it With a festering anger Ready to pounce on the next soul...

He calls me “rough around the edges”
Claims it’s a compliment
But says he prefers his women soft
I’ve got too much mileage on me
But he’d rather have a girl who’s yet to hit the road
I’ve pounded too much pavement
Healed too many of my own scars
And he wants someone who would depend on him
I wish I could tell him I used to be that girl
But those words seem so far out of...

It was the kind of intensity that burned
Deep into memories; engraved
Permanently stitched into history
We had all the makings of forever
And yet you left me feeling breathless
Knowing I could not breath without you
Your compassion soon turned passionless
And this exhilarating flame fell dormant
To distrust and faded honesty
Branding you a scarlet letter

Half way through this bottle
Some sentimental feelings, nostalgia
Lay soaking amidst hazed memories
He seems to only recollect during inebriated liberations
Sedated, the retrospect of collective thoughts linger by him
Non-existent
But a strong brew will have him confused
Obscuring lines he vowed he’d never cross
Like all his other promises
Broken, mutilated
This time he fell too far into the...

Glistening summer heat
Drenching bodies with tangent sweat
Dripping down trails of endless skin
Helpless to the reminder of fingertips
Caressing every inch and crevice
Abusive but gentle in all the right ways

Although you were tasteless
It’s your flavorless kiss that lingers on my tongue
The shallow tang of infidelity
The permeating fragrance of loyalty betrayed
And quite possibly my addictive tendencies
My consistent cravings for the thrill of adultery
Hormones driven under the influence
Love unsavory and lust consumed
Compulsion for some kind of devotion to nothingness
To a yearning motivated...

Persistence
It’s a heart-numbing pain
Persistent in its pursuit to damage me
Like the stroke of your palm across my face
The burn of your fingertips trailing my skin
Branding abuse and wasted time
Tears that trace curves of imperfection
Perspiring into sighs of relieved ambiguity
Anxious at the sound of your bellowing rage
I close my eyes and reminisce of nightmares
Scolding showers can’t seem to cleanse your...

I often have trouble with words
Not in their sound
But in the way that they perform
They frequent misconception
Recurrent moments of misunderstanding
Toneless through text
But with the tendency to tinge volumes
Either way coming out misconstrued
Because in the recollection of future histories
It’s these words that remain remembered
Out of context
As simple run ons that ran on
The before and...

Remember when we loved Like it was me, you and an endless world Ours for the taking A recollection of every other memory Rekindling lust-less passion That slipped through our fingertips I held on tightly while you loosened your grip Ending up on separate ends Yet your sensation still lingers on my side of the bed No matter how you tossed or tousled You were the disheveled one after all Endless...

Yemeni President Saleh signs deal on ceding power →
eddyizm:
Mr Saleh signed the agreement, brokered by Yemen’s Gulf Arab neighbours, in the Saudi capital, Riyadh.
Under the plan, he will transfer his powers to his deputy ahead of an early election and in return will get immunity from prosecution.
But protesters rallying in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, said they would reject any deal giving the president immunity.
The demonstrators...
