aloft amongst
unspoken tongues
dried words
hide in my home

nothing real

ass ig nation
may i begin here now
to bring you
some pain and
can i even promise
lovely (pre)tenses
present(s) and
unsoiled warmth
you say! eh ?
freshly unspooled, straw made,
richly soaked in sensuous snow
maybe even a vested verb, or
better still, a kiss?
nah. just a gerund will do
you protest. you and me, us
doing doing doing
thrice and more of
blah blah ahhhh
on the roof of
a naked noun
our world beautifully
excised. oh shit!

succour
an inky satin tongue in dark wailed dirge
dissolves deep across my faithless filth
will you weep once more if i insist again
to press soiled notes in your palms tonite
the night surrenders smoothly, ripping away
much of what has been designed to evanesce
you have served well ( i feel ) relived; and so
a sliver of shame i shall keep, unused for you.

being me
i breathe my shallow thoughts
and not be any dead until now
nor shall i choose to be awake
and neither dead if you please
and further shall i refrain to be
undead if you still insist upon it
and not be any dead until now
nor shall i choose to be awake
and neither dead if you please
and further shall i refrain to be
undead if you still insist upon it

curiously yours and everything else apart.
Minoloche dreams of a prey
a succulent borrowed half dead mouse
the cat of time choose to chase you afar
ain't me the mouse that had em all..ever?
till in a blind rush, me and you forget
to take along everything we would have,
grab more of what was yours all awhile.. shall we?
Minoloche Minoloche oh wicked kitty mine
pray what afflicts your keenest mien? if not,
come lay a trap with powdered cheese tidbits
smear with cream and wicked schemes all swell
to match, if you will. oh dear Minoloche, come near ...

the lament
the bear who bore everything . the crow who thirsted for things . the snake of infinite wisdom . the man who lived . the woman who cared . the cat that meowed . the dog that wept . a mongrel of a dog indeed . the well that wished health . a prayer of poisoned preachings . a student who learned much . a seer who proclaimed what he lacked . the apple of thought . a tree of twitching leaves . each tale a reminder . of things that could have been . of things lived . and lives displaced .
tale of thousand themes . a theme for every thought . one of love and the other of lust . one that...
tale of thousand themes . a theme for every thought . one of love and the other of lust . one that...

hopeless hope
we gather love to make the tender morning dew
that glistens upon a blade of green grass
the day seizes it and takes it back to the clouds…
to make the rains whisper it back to the grasses again
and again and again...each night and each morn,
till dawn does find us seeking again to be
the drop of dew that made us aware of what we can
there is no love if not for the love
amongst us all that we love to be.
that glistens upon a blade of green grass
the day seizes it and takes it back to the clouds…
to make the rains whisper it back to the grasses again
and again and again...each night and each morn,
till dawn does find us seeking again to be
the drop of dew that made us aware of what we can
there is no love if not for the love
amongst us all that we love to be.

sweet struggle
empty emotions, drained drenched
often a hopeless heaven clutched
in morose ambience and afterwards,
an interlude interspersed
behind veils of tumbling temptations.
tempestuous trauma festers soon
as tender thoughts are killed alive.
