Star Turtles
the lightning turned to water
and the gleeful turtles took a delightful dip
their shells turned into
stars
now they swim in deeper oceans

Hungry Giants
in the absence of time nobody in the village aged
they stayed infantile in structure but had passions
that outgrew their appetites and size
it drove them mad to have something bursting inside them
and no outlet for expression
but Nature found a solution,
death at the hands
of a clan of invading giants
who bit off their heads
and chewed their bodies
which exploded
and killed all the
hungry giants

Flaming Butterflies
elusive is my cool my calm
patience rewards us with surprises
but anger satisfies
to destroy the object of my anger
I am filled with flaming butterflies
the power of lightning courses through
my clenched hammered fists
my true might bliss turns to grueling grit
I will not forgive until I forget
and I will not live happy unless
I take justice into
my own hands
patience rewards us with surprises
but anger satisfies
to destroy the object of my anger
I am filled with flaming butterflies
the power of lightning courses through
my clenched hammered fists
my true might bliss turns to grueling grit
I will not forgive until I forget
and I will not live happy unless
I take justice into
my own hands

In Between Two Dreams
in between two dreams I wait holding my breath
as for now feeling the swirling of the moment is perfect
too delicate and fading to hold, to stay, to be trapped
the grave of memories resurrect the fantasies of tomorrow
tombstones pave the brick road of sorrow I follow
joy may return in a bottle
but tears remain slained
hope is the last thing
I swallow

Friendly Enemy
we were friends once now we strangers
the only common ground we have is a bread and butter
you wanted the cheddar more than you wanted the weather
I was down to do whatever but now I got clever
and you still have feelings for fame and fortune
animosity turned you into
an enemy
but you
were never alone
but I forever remain on life's merry go round
until they take me out
or God put me down

House On A Beach
freedom was free once in a forgotten constellation
now freedom is imprisoned by constant interrogation
stepping on egg shells to avoid land mines
we risk our dignity and right to speech
to talk about
our dreams of having a house on a beach
now freedom is imprisoned by constant interrogation
stepping on egg shells to avoid land mines
we risk our dignity and right to speech
to talk about
our dreams of having a house on a beach

Wasp In A Spider Web
when I was a boy
I tortured flies
by putting them in
spider webs
I relished the spider
pouncing on them
and wrapping them up
in a cocoon
one day I put a wasp
in the web
but the spider
did nothing
I tortured flies
by putting them in
spider webs
I relished the spider
pouncing on them
and wrapping them up
in a cocoon
one day I put a wasp
in the web
but the spider
did nothing

The Difference Between Similar Things
the difference between an epiphany and a miracle
Oh.
and
Oh Shit.
the difference between an accident and an intervention
?
and
!
the difference between prophecy and proficiency
time will tell
and
time spent well
Oh.

The Purpose Of Pain
what is the purpose of pain?
what task was it given over my name?
it punishes me for innovations and deviations
I must exist within its boundaries
and remain plain
but the more I stay within the frame
the more I become restless and insane
it protects to imprison me
keeping me caged
I remain plain
beyond its borders, is there a paradise?
is pain a portal to lands immortal
and times unknown?
what secrets lie beyond its limits?
and dare I risk it?
dare I risk losing my name?
what task was it given over my name?
it punishes me for innovations and deviations
I must exist within its boundaries
and remain plain
but the more I stay within the frame
the more I become restless and insane
it protects to imprison me
keeping me caged
I remain plain
beyond its borders, is there a paradise?
is pain a portal to lands immortal
and times unknown?
what secrets lie beyond its limits?
and dare I risk it?
dare I risk losing my name?

Rumpelstiltskin
You walk in the shadow
I walk in the truth
You see the world
I see the proof
You run the other way
I am in the right place
You fall into despair
I follow you with care
You struggle to change
I stay the same
You know what to do
I know why you came
You know what to do
We have the same name
I walk in the truth
You see the world
I see the proof
You run the other way
I am in the right place
You fall into despair
I follow you with care
You struggle to change
I stay the same
You know what to do
I know why you came
You know what to do
We have the same name

Candle
Touch me
With your tongue.
Let the moon
Surpass the sun.
Haunt me
With a word.
The sweetest suffering,
On Earth.
Fantasies and fairy tales
Never came true.
Wishing on stars and candles,
Turning in our tombs.
I wished for You,
But You never came true.
I burned for You,
But not all wishes come true.
With your tongue.
Let the moon
Surpass the sun.
Haunt me
With a word.
The sweetest suffering,
On Earth.
Fantasies and fairy tales
Never came true.
Wishing on stars and candles,
Turning in our tombs.
I wished for You,
But You never came true.
I burned for You,
But not all wishes come true.
