SWEET MUTILATION
His mistress, he can't live without
and so he died for the love of Sugar
Decadence is his only vice
feeding on caramel, glutton of rice,
breadstuff with mayonnaise and jams
He, oh so hate those leafy greens!
"Forget about it, he has his meds"
he said. But what good did it do?
He died toothless with his money
stolen by insulin, surgeons and hospital fees
with none left for his family
but a pile of debt a decades worth of
poverty filled existence
He was the breadwinner
The king whose words was protocol
and so no one...
and so he died for the love of Sugar
Decadence is his only vice

Passion Making an Entrance
Leave timid to limit at home
Strap on lead with stilettos
that tap dance with trance.
Tonight your heart leaps
before your loudest shrieks.
We will pull stars into waters
from passion, burning tempos
from music of stretched joints.
As I pull you closer your breaths
become a fight for closeness.
Your hand fits mine like gloves
shiny with sweat and caresses
draping from your shoulders
all the way down to your hips.
Our dance is us in advance.
As I lift you up, your kicks
defy gravity like magic tricks!
Then...
Strap on lead with stilettos

Tonight your heart leaps
before your loudest shrieks.
We will pull stars into waters

Your hand fits mine like gloves
shiny with sweat and caresses
draping from your shoulders
all the way down to your hips.

happy birthday
Happy Birthday
Next week the old man will be eighty,
he reflected over that number, when he was young
it sounded like an eternity, yet here he was
not blind and not in bed, feeling ok.
He used to feel bad not achieving anything worthwhile in life,
not it didn`t matter, and he continued to write
as it was the only thing, he knows how to do, not philosophical
deep ploughing stuff that would shake the world
into sanity, the last three sentences made him giggle,
mainly because his arrogance wasn`t yet subdued and anyway, sanity was...

Impossible Hatred
They segregated water fountains
They segregated schools
They segregated buses
They couldn't segregate music
Listening tasted colorless
They segregated marriage
They segregated restaurants
They segregated churches
They couldn't segregate music
White and black danced to the same tune in different room
And would one day dance together
They segregated love
They segregated hate
They segregated power
They couldn't segregate music
The rhythm and harmony remained unchained by the paper divide
The notes choked hatred ...

White Tree Alley
Day was Dying to raise another...
But sleep yet haven't won...
"Tell me a story my big brother!"
and so with smile he begun...
"Once upon a time...
In the world that rhyme...
In city full of Gray..
Guarding nights of day...
Slept green seas...
Alley of white trees...
Where children of the sun came at night to die...
Where they said their last goodbye...
To white trees with sturdy rope...
They were coming to confess despairfull hope...
There then once Crimson Lady came...
Claret lines all from the same...
Mother...

Writer's Quill
Writer's Quill
With a quill, I write with ink
All the things that I think
Out the words spill on the page
About happiness, fear and even rage
All the words are in my head
Writing out poems to be read
My words are filled with great emotion
Pour out of my heart, my daily devotion
A writer's quill to fill the pages
To paint great beauty and images
I pen these poems, for you the reader
To inspire others, there's nothing greater
The words, they dance like rhythm and rhyme
The tempo must always, stay in time
I arrange the...

Don't Look Back
Don't look back at the broken looking glass
Forget the sadness of the distant past
That used to reflect who you never wanted to be
That shattered image was never your reality
Look to horizons you have never traversed
Or you'll repeat the cycle when your path is reversed
Crossing the finish line will lead to a renewing start
Over the fences that kept us light-years apart
Ignore the echoes you hear calling you back
The song of sirens tempts you into the cracks
Between shards from the mirror beguiling your eyes
That had you believing in...

Stars of the Night
Stars in the Night
Dedicated to my beautiful children:
Kristyl, Zak and Jacob
The truest love one can find
Is the love of a child, by design
No expectations, just love in their eyes
Always gentle and full of surprise
You hold them close, to your breast
When they grab your finger that's the best
Sometimes they cry, so you caress
Singing to them softly, till they rest
Gently rocking their tears away
In this moment, forever I could stay
But soon they grow, like weeds in a garden
Teaching them manners, like excuse me and pardon...
