Joshua Manis Poems

lost amidst this sea of bliss
the rain sprinkles across these waves
took beyond happiness
into the ocean of distress
...

fallen past the ones who tripped
tripping deeper to abyss
who's past is this that takes my breath?
a bloodied Man, beaten and shamed
...

'You and I, We've become Spam.'
'No, more like chewed nails.'
'The 'click' we had
is silent.
...

So vivid is the picture,
you'd like us all to see.
Yet, still I stay blind
to your colorful disease.
...

Hung on a string
Like my God from a noose...
Around my neck
You call Him my fashion statement
...

Silent insecurities hold my tongue.
I desire to love you,
...
