Who Wins

Your rancid odour penetrates my mind
I didn't know that you were behind
A split second of smell sent me to my hell
You grabbed my throat, my senses reeled.

The physical side could always heal
Bastard thoughts have infected my mind
each day I have to live it still, I am now ill.
You cursed animal of the lowest, infested me

Pills and drugs never before known are mine
Reflecting on this corrupt societies demise,
This scum of our race should be thrown away
Yet you dregs of the Earth, can still roam free

The nothing

Once
He wanted to land in silence

But then he saw that was only the sky
Another one

The highest

Yesterday

Yesterday,

I've witnessed the strength of love.
My father rode his old bicycle every morning,
heading to the nearby field where he'll labored,
doing odd jobs, toiling for the whole day,
ignoring his aching back to feed his family.

When our food is too little for everyone,
my parents faced hunger willingly
while they filled their children's empty bellies.
When any of us fell ill, they'll took turns
to care for the weak at night,
sacrificing many hours of sleep.

One Pleasant July Day

It started with conversation
and coffee, of course, and kissing
before we drove a bit northward
to enjoy the day puttering
and the night in contemplation,
of admissions of love.

Natural Mechanics

Most gentle of push pull me ‘way,
yet the fences are all barbed with wire,
I have no reason for to stay,
my heart’s begun to tire.

Metal thorns may be sharp and still,
I put forth my flesh against the jagged rust,
cuts will mend but the lack of never will,
and so I must.

‘Round rotting posts the meadows stretch,
crawl across the dirt and darken at the valley’s end,
reeds leap near to skies the hills have met,
or at least I will imagine.

^foster horde^

clammy chill
the trees have swallowed up
the yard and grown like
menacing shadows
swooning in their silk black
leaps through the dust
filled curtians
hushed house
just the echoes of
the leaky tap[
at dusk and dawn
the search of light
sent in with the
giants show
of abstract monstrosities
till guillotine shadowfall
steals the sun
and the violet brutal
longing of lonliness
settles...firing up like
the streetlights
from a dull simmer
to the brilliant sizzle

Missing those nights

when out were all lights
perhaps dimmed
to see your silhouette on purpose
the shining smooth silk of cashmere
Oh my dear
twas those nights
like honeymoon
despite the fact
there was no moon

your lips brushed mine
well should I once again
with divine
rhyme

but all the same
my hands slowly went low
down below

the bell rang
and you sprang

the end
a long period!

Lonely Nights

This place seems so empty
The music in my ears so dull
Where are you all? Please call.

I sit here as the day passes
Thinking of things to do
Tempered by keys I cannot see.

Where are you out there?
That you seem to have forgotten me
The stars are dim or is it my eyes?

It is time for us all to share
Why do you just sit and stare
I will be here for as long as it takes

Your new day will bloom
Or the old one will cling to you
Damn I have things to share time is few.

An Imperfect Heist of Love

Bonnie met Clyde,
And the sun met daylight.
It was like when the thief met crime,
And the moon met night.
No two were more meant for each other.

Poetry and mystery; the elements of love.
Fast cars and whiskey,
Fueling passion written in the stars.
When the bank alarms rang out,
The tommy guns made shout.

Cash and jewelry rain down,
The smell of gunsmoke and perfume.
'A match made in the stars above, so below.'
Their love was the purest poison.
No earthly power could separate the two.

Prisca enang is missing

and acolytes of callow youth
to make minors centigrade of descry
utopian, will you awaken acquiescence
Palestine in its boyish age,
attrition fright palsy
but masquerade sentinels trees stand
over mortal tiredness, worthless than demented brigands
amok basketsfull yarn small ship worlds
reclusivity a starry eyed obeisance
purported prima causa,
if i die and i dont see king David,
no i must.
