"Hey,  it's  Dad checking in!"

Every play is a chisel, carving memories deep,
Your voice etches scars on a soul that won't sleep.
Walking on shards of what we had, each step's a fight, (Still here...)
But your laughter's the beacon in my darkest night.
Grief burns like a wildfire I can’t seem to tame,
Yet in every word, I find the strength to reclaim.

My chest feels the pressure, heart’s pounding like thunder, (Boom, boom...)
In the echoes of your voice, I pull myself from under.
A cycle of love and pain, where every note’s a cry—
Your spirit’s my armor when I feel I might die.

[Chorus]
I miss you, Dad—beyond what words could ever say,
Your love ignites my soul, lighting up my way. (Light it up...)
Through the static of heartache, your memory’s so true,
Every beat’s a promise—I'm still reaching for you.

In the silence, I replay the conversations never had,
Each unspoken milestone, both bitter and so glad. (Wish you were here...)
Every pause, every inflection—a weight I can’t release,
Yet those fragments of your voice grant my heart some peace.
I’m breaking through the cracks of this shattered facade, (Stay strong...)
Finding hope in the echoes where our lives once nod.

My body's caught in the shock, an icy surge inside,
Yet your whispered memories are where my solace hides. (I hear you...)
Through every trembling beat, through every silent tear,
Your love’s a constant rhythm that still draws me near.

[Chorus]
I miss you, Dad—beyond what words could ever say,
Your spirit fuels the fire, lighting up my way.
In the heart of my despair, your memory breaks through, (Still with me...)
Every pulse of my existence is still reaching for you.

"Dad, the pain runs deep—a relentless, endless tide,
Yet in the echoes of your wisdom, I feel your love reside.
Every memory is a spark, every whisper a guide,
I’ll keep moving forward with you forever by my side." (Forever...)

"Keep going, keep laughing, and remember—
I’m with you always, in every heartbeat and every dream.
Whenever you miss me, just press play—
Know you're never alone." (Never alone...)

Fragments of You

Jeweled crown of rebellion.mp3

I didn’t crawl from the dark
I settled in it.
Felt it breathe
In the back of my throat.

My love said,
You never fell, you just remembered gravity.
She said it soft—
Like dust landing on a wound.

I buried my name
Before I learned how to wear it.
And the soil wore me
Better than the silence ever did.

(It remembers you…)
(No! Don’t look away.)

[Chorus]
The bloom below
She wore my face
Not the one I showed
The one that waited
Beneath all this breaking.

She walked me home
Through the bones I left behind
And sang,
You became
The grave you tend.

(Sing it back.)
(Still breathing…)

Grief didn’t end me
It fed me.
Slow meals
Of what I could’ve said.

I named the ache
After the sound my father made
When he left
His breath closing the door.

I stitched that silence
Into my spine.
Now every bend
Tells a story I swore I forgot.

(You didn’t forget…)
(It’s in the bones.)

[Chorus]
The bloom below
She wore my voice
But cracked it open
Like a chest
That never got to beat loud.

She touched those parts
I kept buried for their own good
And whispered,
You outgrew
The grave you tend.

(You outgrew… You outgrew…)
(You lived it wrong… but you lived.)  

Golden doesn’t mean whole…
Your wings remember the fall…
One more stitch…
Wither slow…
But bloom deep.

[Chorus]
The bloom below
Didn’t ask for light
She asked for roots.
And I gave her mine
Splintered,
But still warm.

She never asked for forgiveness
Only to be seen.

And I saw her.
And I saw me.

And I became 
(You made it my love…)
The grave 
(You made it!…)
That bloomed.

OHKAY Presents Viper Radio Episode 051

Didn’t ride in with sermons or sound...
Still, the silence got loud when he came around.

Came like a secret that slipped through the cracks,
No script, no clique, just pain in his tracks.
Ghost in the flesh with the weight of the map,
Carried the world like a duffel of pasts.

Taught in the alleys, not halls or steeples,
Broke no laws, but he bent all the evils.
Didn’t pitch faith, just pitched in with people,
Flipped tables and fates like sequels to prequels.

Got blood on his breath but he never rep’d gangs,
Still, they marked him out like a threat to their reign.
Told him walk off, but he stayed in the flames,
Turned the gallows to gallant with nothing but pain.

[=================================================]

[🔥 Chorus 🔥]
He looked in their eyes as they sealed his fate,
Grin on his face like he’d bent the blade.
No throne, no guards, just spit and flame,
But he smiled… like he chose that pain.

Didn’t flinch when the cold steel sang,
Stood there calm while the hammer rang.
They broke his body, but not his gaze,
He stayed.
Yeah… the stranger stayed.

[=================================================]

Bars on his wrists, thorns in his hair,
Looked like a man, but he saw through air.
Didn’t drop names, didn’t play sides,
Took every L like it’d give us life.

Hung like a thought you regret too late,
Died like a god in a sinner’s shape.
But here's the twist, death took the bait,
He flipped the script with no exit gate.

Call that myth? You missed the code,
Truth don’t need to boast to hold.
He played the pawn, then cracked the board,
Now even kings don’t know what they’re for.

Saw him last night, dream deep like cellar,
Said, The ones they bury make the best storytellers.
Left no will, but he split the room,
Gave bread to the ghosts and walked through tombs.

[=================================================]

[🔥 Chorus 🔥]
He looked in their eyes as they sealed his fate,
Grin on his face like he’d bent the blade.
No throne, no guards, just spit and flame,
But he smiled… like he chose that pain.

Didn’t flinch when the cold steel sang,
Stood there calm while the hammer rang.
They broke his body, but not his gaze,
He stayed.
Yeah… the stranger stayed.

[=================================================]

Smiled like he knew...
Smiled like he knew.
Didn’t need saving...
He stayed.

The stranger stayed.

Smiled Like He Knew

(Yeah... ah...)
Woke up with the wind in your chest
Another dream you couldn’t rest...
The world keeps turning, pages burnin’
But you're not who you were, you’ve learned

(Ooh whoa...)
If you fall again, you’ll rise with reason
Pain becomes the fuel of seasons...
You’ll keep walking, scars and all
Even when your small… (yeah)

[Chorus]
Kiera run for tomorrow! (oh-oh-oh)
Through storms and shadows
No path is borrowed... (yeah)
That heart’s your arrow
You’ve got a flame they’ll never see
But it’s guiding every step for me
So you run, run, run…
Not from fear,
But to become! (yeah!)

(Whoa-oh...)
Footsteps echo where dreams once lay
But I won’t beg the past to stay
There’s strength in breaking, stars in aching
Your forged from everything you faced

(Eh-oh… eh-oh...)
Even if the sky is falling
Even if the voices calling
I Say your chasing empty skies
but still you rise! (ahh yeah!)

[Chorus]
Kiera run for tomorrow! (run, run!)
Through storms and shadows
No path is borrowed
That heart’s your arrow
You’ve got a flame they’ll never see
But it’s guiding every step for me
So you run, run, run…
Not from fear,
But to become! (yeah-yeah!)

(Ohh... ohhhh...)
You see the gold behind the grey
The light that never fades away
It’s not the end, it’s just the start
Every fall rebuilds your heart (ah…)

Kiera run for tomorrow! (ohhh!)
Through storms and shadows
No path is borrowed
That heart’s your arrow
You've got a flame they’ll never see
But it’s guiding every step for me
So you run, run, run…
Not from fear,
But to become!
(Yeah! Ohhh—let you run… let you fly… run for tomorrow…)

I love playing with words, finding new ways to put them together to express what I feel. I hope my poems encourage others to share their feelings openly and honestly. My aim is to paint pictures with words, making them sing in a way that touches everyone's heart and mind. Through my poetry, I want to create moments that everyone can see themselves in, exploring emotions and thoughts that connect us all.
