just Lovely eyes

Beauty in your eyes
When I see the beauty
in your eyes
I get a glimpse of
my own eyes
as one gets a reflection
in a mirror
I see myself
in yours

but eyes never lie
you stay within my eye
let all wonder
who is who
and
whose eye are you

when you die
donate your eye
you have the world's best ones
How I WISH TO OWN YOUR'S
as though I was ever to go blind

The whispers of the end

Sometimes it feels-
All I do,
Is paint over the scars.
In silence I conceal,
What's real,
And who we are.
So, Here's to the wounds-
That won't heal,
As I steal-
Words that'll be my last.
From the grave of my dreams,
That I've seen-
Behind an ashen'd mask.
Walking through the walls,
Entrapped in my own-
As age burns my all,
With a shadow that time casts.
Gone by morrow,
Lest it all turns to dust-
Yesterdays meld in a heart.

r i m a r r a n o

pst modulatory
it was all smeared into statutories
like the thirteenth floor
under the door
of Tomorrow

deuce feel
sheets chilled like a pool
diving into old school
Iris
Iris
so tall inquired
through your thighs
tall shade of dark
the moon
flesh
gleam lust
stolen of a park

spark a crime
snarl a Fuss

I wear your ring
on a chain
bling my heart
diamond pain

forever
and be it
always

PAY ATTENTION

my pen exploded again
staining the tips of my fingers blue
blue like that shirt you wear
with the curved letters
that look like a breeze has caught them
relax
i remember pressing my ears to those letters
so i could hear the rhythm of your heart
and feel the melody of your fingertips tingling my spine
there's a shiver rushing through me now
as it did then
and im watching the nurse talk on the phone about a patient
who has no health insurance
and he should really stop smoking

The Thief ( Limerick WS)(with spoken word)

A thief once went by the name of Death,
had stolen the Man but not his wealth.
In the day or the night,
while it's dark or bright,
but never been accused of taking the breath.

TOWARD OR FROM?

Autumn leaves arise from the road
and rush to follow me
each one bearing its own load
of some half forgotten memory.

My truck and I leave them behind
as gleaned fields take their place
with naught but stubble to remind
of grain field oceans they've replaced.

The dashes of the center line
flash by in a blur,
continuous as the tires' whine
or heater's almost silent whir.

Walking with whom

I walked with you, in the perfection of time
I felt the talk words echo through my mind
As we passed by, they called out all things to me
Of things I wished to know, as I travelled on my way

You smiled as the colours bounced away at my very soul,
You accepted that the think talk was the one I would know
As if we were to stay here for ever and a day
The words flowed as a stream, that bubbled on its way

Digital Drugs

Digital drugs are becoming the dread
that fears the world, youth are dead
with beats and sounds
that cost but pounds
the venom drone, on and on, fast spread.

"Don't play it again, Sam.""

""DON'T PLAY IT AGAIN, SAM""

I live between the moments
falling into cracks of Time
pulling myself back
into metaphor and rhyme

My poetry is the reflection
of my soul.
It speaks its mystery
not of one but of all

But I emerge invisible
and it seems my words
have lost their meaning
There is nothing more to say .
.
.
It's time to let go.

Breaking Free

There you stand before me,
a stranger in the mirror
created from a layer of lies
served over the years.

I hated you because you're untrue!
The fault lies in me, I made you
but now I want a touch of reality
to be the real me, not a make-belief!

My soul grows weary of your presence,
burdened by overbearing guilt and shame.
Get out of my life! I don't want you anymore!
I shattered the mirror to end your game.
