A Dolly for Krampus
Santa makes a doll for Krampus
Switching and kidnapping children
The naughty ones
Year after year
Santa grew weary of it
Wrote a letter
Cease and desist
Krampus ignored it
Santa had a doll made for Krampus
One that looked like him
Hairy
Eight feet tall
Hooves
Head of a goat
He retired...

Last Moment
A question i read on quora inspired me to write this one. Question was "if you have an hour to live what would you do, whats the last thing you want to do in life??"I saw a dream that I have just one hour to live.

Fancies from Infancy
And she told me, you are a village boy
And I replied, yes I am, a proud one at that
How I wish you had an idea, the beauty in being a village boy

Wipeout
I was happy,
Enough.
Or more, I was sailing on an even keel.
Ripples broke the surface, but they did not shake me from my course
Until you.
You and your white horses, cresting, roaring.
Adrenaline kicking, I’m pitching.
Nose to...

My Mental Illness
I suffer from schizephrenia, which inspired me to write this poem.
My mind waxes and wanes like the moon. I need my best friend to make thoughts full. A wave, flowing and ebbing along the shore; I need my...

You left the front door open The wind gave me shivers With the air; spacious and dusty I saw myself in the mirror like never before Just the other day You said... Your words...

things i wish i had said
one lady who loves nature
the bell has rang
the clock has struck noon
the sun has set
lady i have always considered you special
words floating in the air
a feeling felt but never illustrated
wish i had uttered them out
but it is already...

the hands of men
the SDG 9 inspired me to come up with the poem
The hands of men
Are full of craft but harmful to Mother Nature
I watched as tall, spackling features came to life
Just like us their roots where in the heart of Mother Nature
Their language was foreign...
