Funeral of Flowers
Roses so red,
Violets half blue.
Shrubs are handsome.
and away so far are you.
Orchids so white.
Ghosts in a flare,
a lifetime is short
and soft was your hair.
Magnolias growing,
whose buds fade lilac
in the form so slender
of both your legs.
Sunflowers towering
up to the skies,
a smashing hammer
is the sun on your eyes.
Foxgloves in hedges
surround the farms.
Faces so tanned
so were your arms.
Daisies dry pretty.
Daffies in style.
My place is warm ...
Violets half blue.
Shrubs are handsome.
and away so far are you.
Orchids so white.
Ghosts in a flare,
a lifetime is short
and soft was your hair.
Magnolias growing,
whose buds fade lilac
in the form so slender
of both your legs.
Sunflowers towering
up to the skies,
a smashing hammer
is the sun on your eyes.
Foxgloves in hedges
surround the farms.
Faces so tanned
so were your arms.
Daisies dry pretty.
Daffies in style.
My place is warm ...

Dear Diary
Dear Diary…
Dear Journal…?
Dear untitled spiral
With loose pages
Metal that can
Barely hold things together
I’m bound to you
I can relate
One and the same
You’re a physical record
Of my mind
Proof of the trauma
I can’t leave behind
And the lies I convey
To be reality
Just to remain blind
What is ignorance
Without bliss?
The things we push away.
Our worst fears
That rise like the dead yesterdays
With no peace…
Dear diary…
Dear me,
How do I find sanity? ...

dream breeze
I sat there
pretending I didn't see you
and that I didn't want to be yours
distracted from being myself
I sat there
you passed me there
you passed me there
you passed me there
I stayed there
pretending I didn't hear you
and that I couldn't be yours
abstracted from myself
I stayed there
you passed me there
you passed me there
you passed me there
I dreamed of myself there
feeling your skin
passing by me in the breeze
on a sugary morning
I dreamed of myself there.

Three Statues in the Garden
Medusa looking at me
inside the mirror
petrifying me
on the Icarus flight.
Leaving me adrift
like Ulysses without Ithaca
wanting mermaids.
And freezes my blood
in the labyrinth
of the veins.
Minotaur and Cyclops
setting the heart rate
of a distant chimera
deciphering riddles.
This muse abuses me
just tying me...
she's a shady girl and
profuse in the silences
telling me secrets,
obstacles and pain.
Not paying attention to me.
I lay down on the floor
prostrate in worship
for...

Six Pleonasms in Search of Euphemism
Let's be honest
as in political correctness.
Politics lie!
Let's go outside
of this prison...
and save ourselves victims
of an innocent thief.

While She Stood In Front Of The Bedroom Mirror
Karen was too
busy with
looking at her
reflection with her bare
mounds showing to see Steve
walk into the bedroom
and cup those jugs with his own two hands.

Within the eyes
I haven't seen you for a while.
It's been good weather around here.
A sun that burns the exposed herbs
in parks and gardens...
And in the depths of our eyes.
I've been trying to find out about you
and the things you've done...
Your days of freedom and my broken heart.
I've been trying to forget what I know about you.
And deep in my eyes.
I've been trying not to shed tears
or give an image of being weak...
I have tried and failed.
And I disappear in the background of all eyes.
I've been...
It's been good weather around here.
A sun that burns the exposed herbs
in parks and gardens...
And in the depths of our eyes.
I've been trying to find out about you
and the things you've done...
Your days of freedom and my broken heart.
I've been trying to forget what I know about you.
And deep in my eyes.
I've been trying not to shed tears
or give an image of being weak...

And I disappear in the background of all eyes.

Twelve by Twelve .
Is twelve times twelve
One hundred and forty four .
She almost wanted to laugh this is absurd ,
Yes she replied with absolute certainty
She knows this , from kindergarten,
It’s a formula and a fact , she likes
that , it like her comfort blanket ,
He asks her , are you valuable as you
are now he hits a nerve , it responds
by itself, pulsating under pressure,
Now she is grasping for words ,
Well yes but if I ……….
He sat and watched her face , and
he could almost see her flinch . He
said let’s get to know this IF...

Let's keep it simple
I love being alone.
It's great being away from other people.
I loathe humanity.
They're such predictable whores
of their inevitably,sugar-coated,
duplicitous,eventual demise.
Goodbye then.
Return to custom-made Monopoly.

lead plumes
I put on weight
I don't fit anymore
in the straitjacket
that I wore
I can not anymore
say so nonsense
and incomprehensible things
because I don't fit
in the straitjacket
not even by force
I don't fit in me
I'm so sure
I got fat
just to stop fitting
made myself a kind
of two-in-one
I'm like saying:
"I'm in me and I don't fit in me"...
like this always
should have been
now I just need
to deactivate the effect of
Earth's magnetic field!
