A cringe poem I wrote years back....

Don't try to invade my personal space, Don't touch my body nor my face No, not because of your gender and race Neither because I' having bad days

It is for everyone, you're not the special case Whether in public or in the workplace Remember this basic rule always "MAINTAIN AN ADEQUATE DISTANCE"

Not that I want to treat you like dirt, I strongly mean these words, not a blurt On my thighs and under my shirt Certain touches cause great discomfort.

Trust me, it has nothing to do with the mood Only that, touching someone without consent is really lewd. Humble request, not to sound rude Just try to act a little more prude

For long, in our society it brewed A judgment rough and crude, That the victim was supposed to be reviewed But now that our senses have been renewed

All those cool dudes are really screwed Because now legal measure will be pursued You'll be surely sued And judges will be the final ones to conclude

For sexual harassment Or touching without consent  So you better act a little descent Or jail will be your next segment

And all friends who've been through this,

Whatever you tolerated, whatever you underwent, Play, push, pull or another torment You need to suppress their dissent  And put forward your argument

Ask for help better not too late Courage is all you need to generate Be patient, be sedate And at last, everything will be in a better state

Justice is not served in silver plate No need to hesitate And for sure, this movement, once you initiate A lot will be able to relate

Your words should debate, activate and agitate Your actions should illustrate, educate and generate Don't dominate, irritate or isolate And finally, it should cultivate and recreate  Our new and safe world

[devinetheory-2]

And all we are now

Is just a fading memory

Burned into the fabric

Of my forsaken identity

Taken thru the different shapes

of my soliloquies

lost within the melody

of her symphony

Into the wind

in an Apocalyptic wonderlands

Winter breeze...

She speaks in past tense

As she mentions me

As if I'm already just a memory

So much these moments

SHE created meant to me

So hard I tried to be her remedy

Pained from the poison

Of her choices to injure me

With unrecognizable satisfaction

Withdrawing from my projections

Of her chemistry

And the lack of magic

In my life

Created from her Static energy

Still stressed at unrest

Remembering the tragic end of things

As I walk thru the cemetary

Talking to our faded memories

Daydreaming.

This is a poem I wrote way back in early 2017, when I was just starting to write poetry and was too embarrassed to sign my full name. I only signed them O.T back then. I’ve redone it into a spoken word.

Music by Blank & Jones.

Happy Valentine’s Day. ❤️

Wisdom is a quatern poem in trochaic tetrameter about careful insight.

Here's the poem.

Wisdom

Far beyond every surface lies wisdom right there. It is found in the grass and the smoothest of stone; Through the earth and the water – the fire and the air, Are the numerous insights to seek all alone.

In the deeds and the trust of both kith and our kin, Far beyond every surface lies wisdom right there. Through our hearts and our minds - in the dreams there within, Are the trials and the truths of each form we’re aware.

In the words that we speak with both candor and care, Keeps the knowledge and spirit of present and past. Far beyond every surface lies wisdom right there. It’s the greatest of people whose purpose will last.

For each morsel we eat and impassioned pursuits - With the times we compete through the ways that we dare, It’s our measured approach That is truly astute. Far beyond every surface lies wisdom right there.

gods and mothers and daughters

my mother’s divinity stains my fingers, my mouth all bloodened by her devouring faith.

she tells me if i fast if i keep my soul pure, god will forgive me for sinning/loving a woman/not wanting to marry a man of my faith. she tells me another priest in the village saw god and i bite my mouth so i won’t bite god in the wrist, i keep my mouth closed so god doesn’t get to leave the rotting stench of my rage, i kill myself so i don’t bring his wrath upon my devout mom.

when you ask me if believe in a god, i will lie between my teeth (as my grandmother through hers when she told my mother god will be good if you pray and god will punish if you don’t) and say “no” but we both know i can’t blame a god i don’t believe in, i can’t pray for his forgiveness if i don’t wish to forgive him.

My girlhood was defined by being an image of a goddess, they told all little girls “tum devi ka roop ho” (you are a face of the goddess) and all newly married women “laxmi ji ghar aayi hain” (goddess of wealth and prosperity has entered our house) but no one saw me that way, no one sees us that way. They call us a goddess and tell us to marry into households where an ordinary man would beat up his “goddess” wife. They call us a goddess and expect us to sit cross legged on the bed and tell our surviving daughters that god will be good if you pray and god will punish if you don’t and no one questions god for punishing the murdered girl fetuses for not praying when they weren’t even given a chance to learn to.

and yet i believe in all the inauspicious tales, i am afraid my mother’s prayers will stop protecting me any second, i am afraid the god will punish me for loving, i am afraid the god will ask for my kindness and i will hand him my life instead. 

it becomes a cycle, mom. you will disappoint me like a god and i’ll claw at your approval like your devout, you will love me as a daughter and i will fear you as my god, you will continue chanting as i bleed (you have no choice, you can’t stop in between can you) and i will forgive you like a dog.

when you said no strings you failed to mention that it was okay as long as you were the puppet master,

and I, your helpless doll.

pretty enough on the surface, but tug to hard and she may shatter.

that's why your hands have always been so gentle.

Love letter you’ll never see

Another cycle ended and I’m torn to pieces yet again. This time the only person I’m angry at is myself. Why’d I wait so long so let you go? Why’d you fight so hard, when you let me know a long time ago how this would end.

I never wanted your heart or your loyalty. I wanted to be there. To feel you next to me, hear your breath, stare into those eyes. I just wanted to feel safe. I wanted this to be easy.

You triggered my deepest thoughts, made me aware of what was wrong. Unveiled my deepest wounds and I’ll forever be grateful for that. You showed me the deepest ways in which I don’t love myself fully. I pleaded to pour into your cup before my own just for you to look at me.

I recount the many times I should’ve said no, the many times I should’ve gone home. Im at embarrassed at the things I overlooked, the blatant disrespect that I ignored.

I’m pissed I didn’t walk away sooner. I’m pissed I believed my delusions. I’m pissed that I’m left to feel all these feelings , deal with all this regret.

To desire love so deeply and chase after those that refuse to give me just that.

Will I ever feel worthy enough….
