THE PROMISE
He knelt before her
With sweaty palms and on feeble knees
The future before his eyes forever a blur
As he took his hand in his to make his plea
Opening the ring box – he made his proposal
Wondering with heart-racing pounds if she’d accept or deny
His plea he placed at her mercy or disposal
Seconds seemed long before her reply
Granting her final answer with acceptance
With only a few months to retract her admittance.
Sliding the ring on her finger – he betrothed
As they exchanged their personal oaths
Promising each other...
With sweaty palms and on feeble knees
The future before his eyes forever a blur
As he took his hand in his to make his plea
Opening the ring box – he made his proposal
Wondering with heart-racing pounds if she’d accept or deny
His plea he placed at her mercy or disposal
Seconds seemed long before her reply
Granting her final answer with acceptance
With only a few months to retract her admittance.
Sliding the ring on her finger – he betrothed
As they exchanged their personal oaths
Promising each other...

EQUIVALENT OCCURRENCES
A deep cry erupts the city street
A mother's heart races a rapid beat.
A whirlwind swivels round her baby girl
Toddler falls - as the world becomes a blur.
Traveling soul up to the heavens above
With the taste of her mother's love
Stifling numbness of her body on the ground
Panic strikes - drowning earthly sound.
Scent of eternity and freshly-cut grass
Awakens as the soul bypassed.
Do they come back, O God, the same?
Do they come back the same?
Filled with regrets, remorse and shame
Like a separation or divorce ...
A mother's heart races a rapid beat.
A whirlwind swivels round her baby girl
Toddler falls - as the world becomes a blur.
Traveling soul up to the heavens above
With the taste of her mother's love
Stifling numbness of her body on the ground
Panic strikes - drowning earthly sound.
Scent of eternity and freshly-cut grass
Awakens as the soul bypassed.
Do they come back, O God, the same?
Do they come back the same?
Filled with regrets, remorse and shame
Like a separation or divorce ...

As I lay crying
Awoke, with pressure in my head,
Brain felt like balloon, pink 'n' red.
As clichèt as it sounds,
It'll POP 'n' explode rounds.
a continual pump action,
Cranium capacity, full,
No more room, even a fraction,
Cracking open the skull.
Eleven hours, most of the day,
Head'll go BOOM, so clichèt.
The very next day I wake up,
Deep in ocean, like U-boat, sub.
Surface top, is baseline,
Emotions dive 'n' decline.
Periscope reluctant to raise,
Unable to see above top. ...

Mask Up
Invisible entities
Are an asshole’s debate
Plausible amenities
Become head of state
Blissful ignorance
Plague the mind’s mechanics
Sacrificed innocence
Escort quarantine panics
Dumb-ass syndrome
Spreads quicker than the virus
Victimized alone
Alters everyone pious
Rebellious actions
Increase the odds of risk
Media fashions
Whip the public like a whisk
CDC restrictions
Eradicate the freedom of thought
Grocery afflictions
Institue the public’s onslaught
Covid 19
Divides...

Head Space
There was a time
I believed your tongue
Silvered words chime
In my head they hung
Hot-air balloons
Swelled my ego’s delight
Outside buffoons
I ignored on site
I believed everything you were
Ingested every lie you’d slur
I questioned myself when the truth was right there
Because ignorance was grand when I lived in fear
I saw no reason
To abandon your love
Blind to your treason
It fit like a glove
Blind to your deceit
I cared not to look
I marched to your beat
A controlled opened book ...
I believed your tongue

Wallow
So much ink has been spilt
the dagger plunged to the hilt
in this life of self-assassination
I always commit without any hesitation
Or at least that is how it seems
with all of my sabotaged schemes
to be thwarted in the end
by these conflicted messages I send
For I want you to be near
though I still linger frozen by fear
from a past that has not passed
from all of these loves that did not last
Bitten many times then left smitten
by a poet's words deviously written
just to make my defenses melt away ...

Unbeknownst
I didn’t know that it would hurt so much,
fettered porcelain ankles draped in the
red clothes of agony, arms flailing against
the painful draperies that blind the self,
ever so slowly drowning in the guilt
Soft whispers claw at the ears telling
secrets, the truth is I was never worth
anything, nothing changes beneath the
rainbow of the chameleon and loss
brings the strongest flower to wilt
I’m tired of fighting, the best part of me
walks a desolate desert highway in
California, sun in my face, it was such
a good...

Glass Pieces
Pieces of glass prick beneath my skin,
Pricking me until I bleed from within.
They itch, they scratch, they hurt so much,
I leave them alone, yet their lingering touch
Cannot be ignored,
Even when old skin is restored.
Forcefully, I tore the glass pieces away,
Yet despite my efforts, I couldn't stay.
Still, I scratched and bled,
Until I saw the wounds- throbbing and painfully red.
I should have known better, I know that
Yet you cannot leave the glass alone
It fragile after all
I should have stopped touching those...
Pricking me until I bleed from within.
They itch, they scratch, they hurt so much,
I leave them alone, yet their lingering touch
Cannot be ignored,
Even when old skin is restored.
Forcefully, I tore the glass pieces away,
Yet despite my efforts, I couldn't stay.
Still, I scratched and bled,
Until I saw the wounds- throbbing and painfully red.
I should have known better, I know that
Yet you cannot leave the glass alone
It fragile after all
I should have stopped touching those...

canary bird
A canary bird in its cage placed near a window
a leafy tree of spring, where lesser sparrows sat
wished for the mystical word, freedom
Was the freedom the canary bird saw real or not
constructed by an AI method, like the journalist
in a famous newspaper had seen a clip where
her husband was eating lettuce with a rabbit
Ai, opens up a scary world, where fake is true
and we can't know the difference
The eyes seeing us are blind, they have no life
and do not know they are construct
but human-like robots might in time develop

Cowboy Boots
These cowboy boots were made for healing
Walking in your shoes
Innocence shattered
Massage table
Maxwell teaching
Epstein lurking
Dangle a carrot
Of financial assistance
For halls of knowledge
Serpents under the guise
Private plane to New Mexico
In the desert of opulence
Or his own island
Broke the souls of so many
Recruit some of my friends
Pyramid of young girls
Or tea with Prince Andrew
Walking in your shoes
Innocence shattered
Massage table
Maxwell teaching
Epstein lurking
Dangle a carrot
Of financial assistance
For halls of knowledge
Serpents under the guise
Private plane to New Mexico
In the desert of opulence
Or his own island
Broke the souls of so many
Recruit some of my friends
Pyramid of young girls
Or tea with Prince Andrew

Horrible
And now.
The depression sets in.
As the SSRI leaves my body.
And in this muck, this helpless mire.
I feel the constant sensation.
Of wanting to die.
Hoplessness.
Dichotomous thinking.
A general feeling of dis-ease.
Guilt and a desire to punish.
Myself.
Sober?
Why?
So I can sleep all day.
Starve myself.
Self crit with self abuse?
Another psychotic break with reality?
It's not like I painted it all black.
It's more despair.
At the incompetence of my life choices.

Polvo Brazileiro
I am also proud
To belong to the
Polvo Brazileiro
Also many years when
I was born one Brazilian
Polvo
I lived in São Paulo
I had been robed while walking
In the street of São Paulo
And it is not safe to walking in São Paulo
You also could be killed in the street in São Paulo
Also in São Paulo you can't drive you car with you
Window open
I never liked living in São Paulo
When I was just a teenager
I moved out of São Paulo
To Canada
I love living in Canada
At least it is safe to walk on the streets ...
