POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Despair
On the edge of collapse, on the edge of freedom, it takes one step to extinguish it all. The burning wounds have led me to the ledge and the fire within me burns my core leaving boiling tears streaming down my sweltering face. Dancing yellow, orange and red taints blinding the vision of my future. Is this but hashes or my undeniable destiny? Hitting the bottom, figuratively and truthfully. I’m fine.
Another beer.
Chugged it. This isn’t depression; this is life. Baboons living in a kaleidoscope. Still seams to high…
Another beer. I always loved beer. Salty yet so...

The cycle
Someday, I will go back from where ever it is a came from. I will fly away towards the heavens, deploying slowly to uncover new skies as we put me to rest. I will be in a new part of the never-ending cycle, amongst the world as a different type of energy. Dancing with time through the grandiose trees, the gorgeous flowers of all colors and the passionate courant of the waves. Wherever you chose to see beauty and grace, I will be there. We will all be. And together, we will be right there, looking over you, praying for you, holding your hand. The dead will always be missed, but they are never...

«I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A three whose hungry mouth prest
Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast
A tree that looks at G-od all day
And lifts her leafy arms to pray.
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair.
Upon whose bosom snow has lain:
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me.
But only G-od can make a tree

fall
Spinning gracefully as the wind tickles my senses
falling amongst dazzling flowers and perpetuous smiles of confusion
Not understanding not knowing just being.
Help me find this place
I want to be lost
Bring me somewhere brilliant and new
Conquered by the cleansing of love
Teach me the infinite impossibilities of knowledge
as I become drowsy and fall into place by the enlightenment
falling amongst dazzling flowers and perpetuous smiles of confusion
Not understanding not knowing just being.
Help me find this place
I want to be lost
Bring me somewhere brilliant and new
Conquered by the cleansing of love
Teach me the infinite impossibilities of knowledge
as I become drowsy and fall into place by the enlightenment

Rodeo
Because when I look at them, I know what I need to do. It’s a mechanical act. No thinking involved just action. The syntax I apply down to an engineered art; the art of a cruel hunt. Killing me softly, slipping through the stirrups with an arrow to their drive. Confusion and misunderstanding are the saddle to to my sorrow and death. And we turn around as one with, I, the intension of shooting my adverse with my loving weapon but get hit with their lethal use of me. It is nothing but a tale for these lonesome shadow-ridding cowboys looking for a little adventure. And I crumble to the bullet; I...

Why the cat died
Curious george wanders off looking for a banana
And on his route he killed a cat
Monkeys kill cats not because they are curious
But because they aren't at the right place
At the right time.

200km
200km car ride away
It's to hard to write about love,
So i just listen to sad songs and cry
It's not even a sad story.
So why am i so sad?
Maybe because it's not love,
It's more like profound friendship
The record spins to it's end
No more music, no more rhythm, no more sound
The last tracks should mark the end
But there is an other side to it.
200km car ride away
and you're still worst than this cigarette
trying to fill this emptiness
keep lighting them up.
I looked away
tried new things...

My special place
Sometimes I fall awake
And go to my special place.
I fly with the birds into the setting sun
This peaceful refuge is my best escape
Lost in my imagination,
As rhymes float with me along with pink clouds
Sadness pours out of the way
And happiness drizzles all around
With a snap of fingers,
I fall back to the ground and reenter the harsh reality
Whom seems infinitely difficult
More infinit than the perceived eye..
One glance to the sky is all i need
To truly realize the setting sun isn't just a dream
Life isn't as painful...
And go to my special place.

Whom seems infinitely difficult
More infinit than the perceived eye..

To truly realize the setting sun isn't just a dream
Life isn't as painful...

Hello earthlings
after visiting your planet I was very perplex.
beautiful blue
beautiful miracle
I do realize all this might be complex
but whats with all the boundaries?
Is it necessary to be part of a group.
distinct beliefs, dreams and countries.
The universe is infinite,
your home is measured.
It use to be beautiful and limitless
You managed to calculate and it lead to separation
unity.. where did that go
peace... have you lost your flow?
I'm nothing but an alien, a visitor.
And when i go back home i will know...

la Folie
to surrender all brain function
to bathe in the flow of steaming passion within us
to emerse ourselves in love
insanity, synonym of love
insanity synonyme of sanity
insanity synonym of being mentally healthy
insanity synonym of...
and mentally crazy
to be all as one and one as all
to seek for truth
to seek the unknown
curiosity
walking through the dark with trust
in you, in me, in all that surrounds us
she said: "but we know nothing!"
but thats the beauty of it
Vive la Folie!

Columbus of my heart
Explore me, I said as you dove in.
Uncover the unreachable
Through this graceful sin.
Enlaced, show me the unteachable.
And you managed.
You traveled through my veins,
Repairing the previously damaged.
Brought light to my secrets,
All those nights sleepless
Discovered my concealments
Discovered and set me free.
I understood and I grew.
I asked you to explore me,
And I found me through you.
Uncover the unreachable
Through this graceful sin.
Enlaced, show me the unteachable.
And you managed.
You traveled through my veins,
Repairing the previously damaged.
Brought light to my secrets,
All those nights sleepless
Discovered my concealments
Discovered and set me free.
I understood and I grew.
I asked you to explore me,
And I found me through you.

Pointless.
Pointless life. Running for nothing. Coffee, pills, cigarettes. Stressed out, more like stressed in. Communal stress dealt with individually. Pointless stress. 1hy do we do what we do? Because it's what we are supposed to do. Killing, hating, hurting, segregating, discriminating? According to whom? To God, a higher force or them? The higher powered, the standards issuers, the rich. Blame everyone... There's only one to blame. You chose to stay here. Pointless text, pointless poeme, pointless feelings, pointless questioning. Hope is lost. Rock bottom has been hit. I've lost hope in humanity...
