I’m not as intelligent as I used to be
somewhere, somehow, my brain
fell off the grid of post-independence,
now I’m influenced by the vast roaches
inhibiting my fortress of proverbial pain,
though they call to me, whisper my name
their shame becomes all of what I used to be;
the Marigolds no longer bloom on my plantation
they too have become all but a crying out sustenance,
not for water, but for company, companionship,
someone with the greenest thumb to stroke their
whimsical little petals now weltering beneath
the cosmic forces that bind us not as one but as three;
to re-seed another whole new life, I must twist the
dead Marigolds until their necks break, and when those
tiny seeds invisibly bleed out, I am reminded
that now would be a valid time to remember what I have forgotten-
in the soil I watch as those vast roaches clamber beneath me,
soiling those precious anthropoid seeds with their scum scavenger cum;
still, I’m not as intelligent as I used to be but I’m writing again

Passion
The fire melts my skin,
And burns my bones to ashes,
I wipe the blood from my eyes,
Become numb to the pain,
Then set myself a light,
Because the fire burns,
Endlessly,
I grip the cliff edge,
The rock is crumbling beneath my fingers,
Fighting me til the end,
But I push my body,
And my soul,
To the limit,
To reach safety,
And then dive into the unknown,
And the fire still burns,
Endlessly.

LAMBENT TONGUES OF FLAME
http://media-cache-cd0.pinimg.com/236x/91/84/b0/9184b076cba6e19dfe69a7ac6a86cca1.jpg
Deep down the dense tropical jungle
Where wild animals love to bungle
There’s a large ferocious tiger
Who is subdued by a pit viper
When it comes to passionate lovemaking
I’m the ferocious tiger, you’re the pit viper
From dusk till dawn we keep the fire burning
Passion never dies fueled with glowing embers
I come charging like a wild bull frothing
As you rock like a boat tossed by the tempest
Until we’re both exhausted hardly breathing
While the silvery moon hides at your behest
Suicidal thoughts linger in my weary brain
When dark cloudy days, depression sets in
Only your undying love gives the will to live
In the power of love, we must always believe
Like the luminous stars that lose their brightness
Virility in my graying days is starting to wane
Only true love can keep the flames of happiness
Hoping the fire within us shall not die in vain
