Bitter Heartbeat
untemded heart
will turn bitter
with each unheard
heartbeat....
love stagnates
within soft
red walls
true cruelties
of an
unrequited heart
barbed wire
retorts hide
each rejection
tasting bile
in each romantic
thought
knowing....
my heart
doesn't easily
love
or forget
will turn bitter
with each unheard
heartbeat....
love stagnates
within soft
red walls
true cruelties
of an
unrequited heart
barbed wire
retorts hide
each rejection
tasting bile
in each romantic
thought
knowing....
my heart
doesn't easily
love
or forget

As if that were the case
If you fall in love
who will pick you up then?
If you make love
who will undo it afterwards?
Bang! Bang!
Shooting stars and stray bullets!
The universe sleeps the sleep of angels...
who will pick you up then?
If you make love
who will undo it afterwards?
Bang! Bang!
Shooting stars and stray bullets!
The universe sleeps the sleep of angels...

Not Yet Swans
We were fooled last week
when so many things outside
were tipped in green
And though darkness is
your favorite color,
you disrobed from it
and kicked it under the bed
As you accepted Spring
to your bosom
as you shook your hair back
and offered your throat
to the kiss of something
renewing
all of your tips to pink
At first, I felt like a bird
fidgeting upon your window ledge
(edge of the bed)
I suffered the settling
for at least bread crumbs
Two pieces, ...

She works until midnight
She works until midnight tonight –
The sentence makes me pause as I remember,
once upon a time…
Midnight was the hour when the party got going,
when liquified dancing took over my mind
and I couldn’t even imagine her;
Because that was way before her time.
Later, midnight was the hour
of waking up groggy
for feeding and rocking
and burping and changing,
thinking the tiredness would never end;
But that was before her childhood.
Then, midnight became the hour
for one last check on the sleeping cherub -

Broken Heart
She broke my heart
With her mind games
Telling the truth
Didn't set me free
But if felt right
to clear my chest
For Love Is A Bitch
And she will break your HEART!
With her mind games
Telling the truth
Didn't set me free
But if felt right
to clear my chest
For Love Is A Bitch
And she will break your HEART!

Slump'' Marasme ''
I always find my alter ego whenever i roam the rocky hills, or skip gaily rightout from home, into the pine forest on the village fringe, where the pure breeze inspires the pastoral themes..where life in its prime tells the truth, the wisdom and the true feeling.There ! is my Home !
i sat on the hilltop watching the tiny village below,"my bled" lost in a foggy silence and indolence, where carelessness and dark interests breed inside empty cafe shops, and shady nooks, and dark corners....
where kids in their blooming age, reap what the dead ones have sown...

In a Date
In a date with your ghost,
Listening to songs from your playlist,
The hot drink I made went cold
As I stared at the picture I kept.
In a date with you,
Just like I always wished,
I bought us your favorite dessert—
The one I hated the most.
I almost spat my first ever bite,
Tried again and again
To like it the way I liked you,
So I could slowly get used
To the taste of this cheesecake
And your absence’s aftertaste.
Yet the bitter tang still hangs in my throat.
In a date with the unmoving image of you, ...

insouciance
finding it increasingly
difficult to write
anything you might
like it matters ..

A song in Time
longing to be
besides you
sing you a song
plucked from heart's vine
stars on music chords
eyes open wide
arms and kisses
circle of safeness
hummed within the song
tenderness
misted eyes
songs choked
on melancholic
throats closed
in tears
floating
on rippled ponds
discarded paper
gold circles broken
thrown.

Father Tyme Brings Young Lions
Once upon a Tyme
I was a Fearsome Monster
Once upon a Tyme
I was a Sho Nuff Beast
Once upon a Tyme
I could walk into a room full of Strong Men
And they would step aside for Me
Then Father Tyme came to visit me
Now
you can still see the Shadow of the monster
And,
sometimes, the Shades of the once mighty beast
But now,
when I step into a room full of Strong Men
It is I,
who stands aside for these Young Lions
I was a Fearsome Monster
Once upon a Tyme
I was a Sho Nuff Beast
Once upon a Tyme
I could walk into a room full of Strong Men
And they would step aside for Me
Then Father Tyme came to visit me
Now
you can still see the Shadow of the monster
And,
sometimes, the Shades of the once mighty beast
But now,
when I step into a room full of Strong Men
It is I,
who stands aside for these Young Lions

Cortisol
Yes I was seeing the pages of my diary
You were cortisol
Every day full injection
Coming with a brand well designed signature
And expensive package
If I could turn back the time
I would undo you
Delete every byte
That in an alternative universe
Would not be there.
