These Dreams...
In this dream, we are together,
Inside a naff café -
Chatting over coffee...
Smiling.
Ok, maybe I still desire the special grill but hey,
Don't be distracted -
It'll help me concentrate;
Not that I need to, because,
I have examined each cute dimple,
Hook, line and sinker, that exist,
On your pretty little face.
I love your story too...
In fact, I wanna learn so much more!
You are perfectly imperfect with all your flaws;
Without them, you are NOT you, rather,
A cheap imitation -
And who needs that,...
Inside a naff café -
Chatting over coffee...
Smiling.
Ok, maybe I still desire the special grill but hey,
Don't be distracted -
It'll help me concentrate;
Not that I need to, because,
I have examined each cute dimple,

Hold Me Like You Mean It
And so at last, you sleep,
in the circle of my arms
that push back the shadows so that you can rest vegetables, seaweed, herbs:
the foam of your dreams.
PABLO NERUDA
I once had a striker plate
where my chest is
so that whenever someone fell into my arms
they would ignite in pretty pictures
a bonfire to the throes of lust
the scent of sex and libertine-want hung about
me as if I was the perfume aisle in the drug store
cloying and thick with the regret of ...

...and Song
With cadence wove into each breath
true bards must celebrate
fair rhythm up until our death
or equal inert state.
But till that end we live and love
and do the best we can
in sharing all the gist thereof...
blown like the flutes of Pan!
A gourd or reed, or tube of wood,
are only needing lips
to tease the tune that each nymph should...
in their Bacchic courtships!
Where's an Eden better than this...
where we poets belong?
Heaven was always...one long kiss...
of wine, and women, and...
true bards must celebrate
fair rhythm up until our death
or equal inert state.
But till that end we live and love

Atlas A Taurus
When she almost died, I told the Taurus stars
“Give her back to me and take me instead”
So when she came to life I protected my wife
Knowing I had lot of work to compose ahead
I made a pact with the universe, my life for her–
So that I may go into the infinite cosmos first
Thus I immersed myself in prose and verse
To write my best even when I’m at my worst
Ever since I’ve spit mad bars looking up at the stars
Declaring my love even if I’m sounding silly or dumb
Whether she laughs or cries I love the look in her eyes
But I...

Chove sobre a marginal
O pó do teu olhar sobre as flores a murchar
a suprimir as verdades, no chão.
As mãos, as mentiras e as folhas alaranjadas.
Morte, morte, morte ao amor...
Depois, tudo desaparece na bruma.
Tua mordida, profundamente infligida
nas carnes das tuas costas.
Viva o amor, viva o amor, o amor está morto!
Cavaleiros sem destino, moínhos parados
ventos perdidos nos corredores da casa
e retratos de ninguém, sem nomes.
Bocas cheias de fome, abutres mortos.
Minha boca cheia da tua boca e
cabelos crus a...

Friend Crush
Why do you have to be so cool?
Like that guy
whose reputation arrived first
when my cool friend from New York
told me about her new crush.
He was instantly cool by association.
Unapproachable.
I was certain to say something stupid
reveal myself as a poseur
in the face of his intimidating
punk
silence.
But then we met,
and I got to know him through long chats
backstage at high school musical rehearsals
and he was so very
normal,
insecure, even – which made him...

Boomerang
You're the weapon of choice.
You're invisible in the rain.
My enemies better duck fast,
If they want to keep their brains.
You're supersonic.
You're a siren shrieking.
Fidget spinner in flight.
Intimidating and defeating.
All my enemies, they hide.
Because they think you're insane.
You put their minds out of focus.
Riding the jet streams.
All they see is the glare,
From an object unseen.
You hide in the air.
So fresh and clean.
You're the weapon I sharpen.
Working together as one. ...

Artifacts of Love I
Stone finger reaching from sand
Crystal drifting hourglass: Chalice
Unseen being – Shadow serene
Sipping seen scenes of memories
Patina of wind: A writing written
By some strange grace – This place
This face – By some strange grace
This meeting place – Eternity & infinity
Greeting & meeting – Face to face
Expansion of place
Space

Space
In every formation: Transformation
I still

Love to a Gunfight
"We're bringing love to a gunfight."
~ Janiva Magness
Your enemies are your greatest teachers
—the ones who step on your triggers
revealing wounds that haven't yet healed
Each lesion that re-lacerates history
is an opportune time to decide
how we're going to react or reply
There are no coincidences in life
nor mistakes, only experience
lessons to spiritually advance
Thank those who perceive you
their adversary—their gift
is the greatest...

Seriously
Did you ever think
I will ever come back
Did you once contemplate
Our lives will ever be back on track
We have moved on my dear
Not from love we have had or the lack
Of trying, but from the time
Time we drifted apart or didn’t comeback
Did you ever think
I will ever beg again
Did you once remind yourself
Of the sorrow caused and the pain
I will never go back to that life
Now that I recall the misery and the chain
I locked myself inside a cell
I have been trying...
I will ever come back
Did you once contemplate
Our lives will ever be back on track
We have moved on my dear
Not from love we have had or the lack
Of trying, but from the time
Time we drifted apart or didn’t comeback
Did you ever think
I will ever beg again
Did you once remind yourself
Of the sorrow caused and the pain
I will never go back to that life

He Just Is..
The threshold of infinity we stand
Stolen moments bridged in a quiet romance
Receptive emotions have no earthy reasons, no cosmic rhymes
Our bodies we lay, ordained by the nobility of Allah's designs
The soft whispers to a Queen to partake in the depth of his soul
His rib of life, parted, unto her, fornicated, her hand kissed by fables of old
The softens to his pride, the bosom where his head rest, in his dream she once consoled
In the nakedness of truth
Our temples once drunk of its communion
Scented in...

leave
unpack yourself from my broken edges
take everythin you can gather
your heart is too gentle
too patient for the wreckage of me
I want you to see me
truly see how damaged
how unworthy of your soft mornins
how undeservin of your careful love
walk away
before I destroy us both
with the quiet violence
of my unravelin
take everythin you can gather
your heart is too gentle
too patient for the wreckage of me
I want you to see me
truly see how damaged
how unworthy of your soft mornins
how undeservin of your careful love
walk away
before I destroy us both
with the quiet violence
of my unravelin
