Confusion
It is when time stagnates and the air gets heavy
that nonsense becomes master of my mind
I try my best to keep it steady
I then attempt to wiggle myself out of the bind
Confusion is my ordeal
As I navigate through this fascinating voyage called existence
I travel through a myriad of obscure challenges
I can say without a doubt that my goals are at a distance
fate presents no opportunity, and very little advantages
Confusion is my nemesis
I often assume that signs will materialize out of nothing
Just a...

Encounter
Watching Hugo and Dickens.
sharing a table and sipping coffee at the neighborhood brasserie.
One can only wonder what the discussion is about.
Could they be debating the fate of Cosette and Oliver?

I was told
I was told it is rather hot where the souls go to rest
Where the eternal human lives in isolation
Where the insurrections are common and the oppression is law
I was told it is fairly blazing where the minds are not blessed
Where my people meet eternal damnation
Where the heathen, pagan and sceptic pull their last straw
I was told it is mighty scorching where life is transgressed
Where the fire is dancing around the last creation
Where no one in my crew can freely withdraw
I was told it is sizzling in the devil’s nest ...

My America
My America
Land of the free, the proud and the mighty brave
Land of that one big step for mankind
Land of the pizza pie, the sundae and the patty
Land of the blue note and the jazz band
Land of the strip club and the dance hall
Land of the echoing dreams of the prestigious artist
Land of sin city, the Big Apple and the Big Easy
My America is spectacular
Land of the forty acres and a mule
Land of the displaced natives
Land of the lethal cotton fields
Land of the needle, the pill and the crystal
Land of the...

That Thing
It’s that thing, you know!
That repulsive rhapsody you pretend you don’t hear
the news that brings you to your knees, or so it tries
That unrealistic illness, or is it really?
A concerto of capricious organism with a big ego
that inhabits your being without proper invitation
An invasive entity squatting me
unlawfully occupying my beloved space
A vicious symphony ready for a carnage
Armed with relentless despicable minions
Aiming to wreak havoc in my temple
Seeking a leading place at the altar
That thing whom I...

Them
Them
Some dance, some sleep.
No specific reason for them to be alive, but strangely an abundance of these superstitious creatures have yet to fulfill the prophecy. The undefined nature of our existence is an adventure. I say – our - I am them. I am a creature, a member of a non-homogenous group of a particularly obscure lineage.
Them, yes them
Some reach for the righteous, some worship the villain.
Those, who with great uncertainty float in this nebulous world oppressed by the ravage, the savage rulers bestow upon them. With virtual impunity, the...

I met you many times
I tell you fellow
I met you many times
Have you?
I ramble with you in my lucid mind
When the idea comes through
And with your silence you address me
They say you’re utterly kind
You understand my verity and my view
And you came to set me free
I don’t wear a mask, I will not be blind
This uncomfortable feeling is not new
When strange things are over, knowledge is the key
Remember when you dined
with some raggedy folks sitting by you
You shared your potion and meal with thee
I wasn’t there,...

People of the blue sphere
To the ones who failed to realize the meaning of it
To the believers, the non-believers and the in between shakers
To those who fought hard to stay away from this shit
To the people who cared less about the dirt than the makers
To the ones carrying a baggage and have no balls to commit
To the numberless ignorant who made it good for the fakers
To those who step up the ladder and disregard others with a spit
To the men who blindly trust lies and the women who loves her traitor
To the one in the media Spewing garbage and claim...

Early Morning
Early morning
Open windows
Gentle draft
We lay bare half-covered by sheets
A cool breeze hardens your nipples
You slowly slide the satin over your skin as you turn
Uncovering your curves, caressed by a subtle wind
Desperate vain attempts to let you sleep
The phallus is stiff, standing heroic
Eager to touch you and surrender to you sanctuary
My hesitant hands are now audacious
The hell with it, we have life to rest
My hands flow across your back to settle on your hips
My tongue follows and...

Few Cold Beers
Headed to the tavern with a mind full of ideas and pockets full of coins
Nothing too thrilling, just an ordinary trip to the brewery
Meeting with old friends, drinking mates and brothers at heart
Making my way through the narrow streets of this township
Thinking about what may come from our encounter
A few cold beers with Marty and Hoop, my buddies, my comrades
Changing the world must be at the menu
What a revelation, we must be onto something
A bit of sarcasm never hurts a mortal
A healthy dose of screwed up ideas is needed to get this...

Note to self
I hear loud voices
I see shadows moving
It’s dark in here
It’s wet, slippery and slimy
Absence of air
Looking for some ventilation
I’m in a hot dream
The circumstances clearly point to a nightmare
The rope is loose
Stay away from me
I almost hung myself
Not a funny feeling
I’m entertaining the idea that I am
Where am I
I hear banging
Stop pushing me
It’s getting loud in the other side
I’m moving, no… it’s moving
Another trip to the unknown
Inaudible talk
What’s the topic
I want to listen ...

And then he said
Here he comes with a hell of a crew
Defeating his rivals with fictitious beliefs
A cook with a quest to make a deadly stew
This dark druid will make you beg for relief
A warrior with no reason to hide
A massive crowd laying at his claws
A vile ugly beast with a load of pride
singing and dancing and tapping his paws
And then he said
Hey fella…
I keep walking and walking
I keep walking and walking
Sure thing he does what it takes to conquer
burning the bushes ain’t nothing but a scam
Don’t...
