POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Mamihlapinatapai
feathery kisses
writhing bodies
in a warm embrace
goosebumps felt
tingles spread
fantasies come close to escape
bubbled thoughts burst
or remain trapped
behind eyes locked in gaze
two hearts skip beats
as an invisible tug
inevitably resonates
breath air is shared
in shallow gulps
filling this pregnant space
two souls aligned
to let destiny decide
with one verdict
two fates

Not Guilty: Just Criminally Insane
The loss of 77 lives
blamed on
the state of mind
Does insanity ride
in the nature of the crime
the minute details
driven by years and fortunes
ripened to perfection
with time
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
If you kill with too much hate
you're surely just not 'right'
in the head

Corroded for Life
My eyes,
rusted
from endless cries
My brain,
rusted
from dreamless nights
My heart,
rusted
into seamless cracks
Rusted
You poured
acrid words over
the raw wounds of my soul
You splashed
venomous affections
to dry up all zest I had, my last breaths
You doused
blatant lies
that numb my now melancholic pulse into rankled beats
Rusted
an old farm nail, my life
rotting between manure mixed sand
under layers of deceits and false alibis
discarded
to prick and...

Mystik Dreams
awareness escapes through the bottleneck of apathy
as the surge of these fumes engulf my vortices in tranquility
i let go of my thoughts, cruel images vaporize
liberated through the wisps of air that i breath in and out
buoyancy rises from the ashes of cynicism
so i close my eyes, and surrender to the powers of mysticism
i'm a spirit now that is free to roam, to glide
where the moon goes to wait and rest on sunrise
unicorn droppings sparkle on feathered grass fixed on ice
sprout honey minuscules engulfed in...

Autumn Morn
the sky is blue today
this crisp autumn morn
branches stiff and barely clad
undressed by winds blown
scattered clothes rustle and snap,
under aimless paws, hurried heels and soles,
shy rays of the sun barely peek
through layers of fluffy covers' holes
flowers and grass glimmer with crystals
last night's perspiration dews forth
a few furry friends scuttle around
last minute preps for supplies to hoard
kids giggle and smile while other's yawn
can't wait for their bus, can't wait to...

Manifesto: Gandhi Spirit
first they ignore you,
so you raise your voice!
unyielding words, like scalpels
incise through the cozy veil of
ill gained shields of oblivion
raise your hand with unsplintered pestles
and grind your will in liberty mortars
mix it well and make them swallow
a bitter medicine that cures their blind.
then they ridicule you,
you smile,
the ripple has bored
through waxen ears
sweet tunes of freedom
now dance...

Mea Pectora
please take your shoes off
leave them by the door
if you wish to be granted entry
into this sacred alcove
breaching the gates of this sanctuary
possible only, if you`ve mastered the codes
most slipped through in error
with the aid of a lax bow
or an askew arrow shot foolishly
at dusk by a myopic Eros
watch your step as you enter,
please leave your shoes by the door
more hollow than a cave yet finer
ancient as the tower with in it resides
red...

Power from the People
good intentions
lost direction
strangers' faces
around her
chanting
reciting
mantras of
whose voice is the loudest
united
naivety
got her here
the ignorant, exploited
by 'opponents'
of the Movement
greed, confronted
only ten percent
of the ninety-nine
seem conscious
of games...

Polaroid Love
a picturesque setting
from a polaroid
you sit next to me
on the sofa, engrossed
in a soccer match
you swear at the guy lying on the ground
i watch the bright lights reflect off your skin
sounds muffled
by the whirlpool of my thoughts
i'm at the pinnacle
of my life
your finite affections
your flawed persona
your messy dispositions
this amorous life,
as incessant as a polaroid
you squeeze my leg
Ay love....... ...

Night Splendor
no moon tonight
the barks subdued
drunken footsteps
long retired
no winds to sing
through dry sticks
this night
affiant crickets
choked up
stifled
sleep draped
souls next door
don't stir nor rouse
on a return trip
from dreamland
as he cracks
her skull
her body
their child
just another
number
another loss........forgotten

My Beloved {from Revenge ( Lotus Corniculatus ) challenge}
Your soul fills the pores in mine
a dichromatic hue of the same shade
we're not whole, but
we pour energy into and off each other
eternity is useless to us mortals
you lay in the backyard,
for eternity
what's left of your flowers lay around
i sit on the kitchen floor,
parched
another pore is added to the toll
i hate flowers
and my birthday was last week
a dichromatic hue of the same shade
we're not whole, but
we pour energy into and off each other
eternity is useless to us mortals
you lay in the backyard,
for eternity
what's left of your flowers lay around
i sit on the kitchen floor,
parched
another pore is added to the toll
i hate flowers
and my birthday was last week

Eviction Notice
Another storm warning is on the news
how many this week, three? plus maybe another two
all with the the same message, same ol' chant
the RENT is DUE, the RENT is DUE
a tsunami has hit my neighbors' place
their stuff tossed out, their kids, the lucky ones now homeless
the bill is long, our debts are deep
a flash flood warning
debt collectors have started to ring,
my time is near
i travel far, skip oceans and continents
escape the harassment, lay low in some foreign land
but my land lady owns it, she's just so fuckin everywhere...
