Shadow Rai Poems

6: 00 am coffee’s brewing
6: 01 a cigarette sparked
and I’m looking out the window
into the world
...

Answering the phone she bumped
her already swollen mouth
as trickling blood slid off her brow
she would vent a sorrow now
...

We’ve spat it
We’ve ate it
We love it
We hate it
...

She likes it rough
slammed from behind
Heart racing,
panting on her side
...

My heart’s swollen, overflowin’
with the warmth you have for me
“Why is it you became my Mother? ”
will always rest a mystery
...

Lately my heart’s been feeling heavy,
my chest is tight,
my ribs they tremble
Lately my stomach turns food into payback,
...

Are you ready for the ride my friends
Oh, once stared it may never end!
hold tight to, then comprehend;
that thing called life (or just a trend?)
...

Exasperation, abominations
Infatuation?
Admiration!
...
