Dead But Dangerous

The written word is useless
Without the power of making waves
Creating storms
Influencing people in a way

oppression

Saturdays are always dark for me
coming back home from work on Friday afternoon
thinking I need to make the most of it
and doing nothing at all

When Snowflakes Collide

When snowflakes collide
I’m going to take the tram

When the streets are wet
I’m not going to give a damn

Umami Existence

sitting in front of a screen for hours without blinking
isn’t umami —

working through headaches and pain
isn’t umami —

Cooking My Brain

Another midnight lies ahead
Could go to bed but instead
I’m writing down my thoughts and prayers
To the hours past and all their layers

too much inspiration

at some point
you have to cut it short
stop looking at others’ work
do instead

Sonnet #33: Superiority

At dawn we search for brightness on the sky
See fluffy clouds that make the nightmares gone
In need to go to work we wave goodbye
But without breakfast we are prone to yawn
