Of men and plants
The endless growing of new leaves
of my indoor plants, shedding the excess
all over the floor, as disregarded dreams
getting in the way of the day.
Female hyenas are good mothers teaching
their litter is how to scare off lions.
Restless minds are not sound as leaders
who overthink everything and have nervous breakdowns?
Sit shaking in the corner on the bridge of warships
excellent, dancers in the ballroom of peace.

Vagabonds / Trains
I'll put you in
my vagabond diary
Somewhere in between
what was, and what
should've been
-About our hip nudges
that scared the others
in this life
-a boat
We laughed at the ones
that couldn't swim
I'll keep your cut-offs
in the third, kind of
important drawer
You'll be back for them
I'll sleep with six
or make it ten
I'll let their abrasive touch
rub away the curvature
of memory, of your skin
I'll forget how your heart
pushed and pushed
against mine, leaving it...

Musings
Warm and sunny days
Three witches of Summer,
Umbra, Penumbra and Antumbra,
Musing by the lake side
As the Sun was about to set
Each one enjoying the lovely breeze
By the campfire
Yes, enjoying the feast
Of fruits and veggies, vegan as they were
And awaiting the arrival
Of the Moon Goddess
Three in one (waxing, full, waning)
Just as they were, in a manner
Praying and hoping for eternal cycles
Of superb Life.

at the hospital
At the hospital (nurses and doctors)
Been to see the diabetes doctor
first, we had to see the nurse who did the physical aspect.
The nurse said I had lost 2 kilos
which was pleasing to hear; the last time I met her, she looked
worse for wear coming up to the surface of a night depravity
and her uniform looked crumbled.
Doctors, nowadays, consult their computers to see
how you feel tapping away, like a secretary.
My doctor, a small, slim woman, had been to the beach
she had lovely fingers; she wore pumps I didn’t think much of
but...

stillness

On this calm day
the reflection of a ship in the bay
a mirror of tranquillity.
Meanwhile, not far from here
A lost war continues
the order is to hold on.
Wrecked cars litter streets
of battle
like broken dreams.
So, many things flying through the air
the heaven weeps.
Is the calmness deceptive?

Simple Quiet Moments
Your couch, my legs resting across your lap.
I pull the quilted throw up to my chin and fall hopelessy into you.
I can't look away.
Quietly, and thoughtfully, I watch you.
In this moment, my heart feels weightless, it wants to float away and reach out for you.
I ponder your thoughts and our current reality.
I trace every detail of you again and again.
Hoping to never forget this simple moment.
Here, with you.
The freckles complimenting your brown eyes, the same ones that took me by...

BUTTERFLY UNKNOWN
BUTTERFLY UNKNOWN
Beauty fluttering before me
within her unique incandescence
She failed to whisper a final word
as she walked away forever
Wings fluttering within her
Dark mysterious silken sheen shown
Unseen between loose lace shown

It is a beautiful morning in Cascais tourists are still asleep, as is my wife
A police car hastens through the Avenida and the young officers
who likes to drive fast through the empty streets?
Yesterday was a great day in Moscow, so many beautiful uniforms,
blue and gold
When young, I wanted to be a general but being petrified of things
like bullets flying through the air, I donned a white apron.
My days as a recruit in the royal navy were not a success: I do not
handle being given orders without protest.
So long time ago,...

Burn
Her red lips
kissed with full emotions,
lighting that passionate fire
with waiting arms
and a gentle embrace.
Close to you,
swallow me in your fragrance,
your body and soul collected,
where desire shines through.
Your strength empowers my will,
such confidence now awakened,
your dreams are my dreams
as our heat burns away the hours.

The Ministry of Naughty Goodnights
The Ministry of Naughty Goodnights
Each evening
as the darkness
comes
and leaves behind
the day,
the shelter
of the common place
both scars
and burns
the way.
As shadows send
their tendrils fast
to clasp
the heart
in fear,
abandonment
looms far
and large
with gaspings
made unclear.
Then it is
that melding
thoughts
redress
our self-esteem
and pulse
the depths
of holocaust
to muffle now ...

Untitled Words
I suggested
maybe making art
is making love...
Well then, I'm obviously
not an artist
he said
Then proceeded to
sing my heart
in arpeggios of red
and broad brush strokes of black,
Rhyming notes
with colours
in a furious dance
Until my fumbling words
suddenly fell into harmony
making sense
resonating
not alone

is making love...
