love and lust
the purpose of life
what is
procreation
for some
is just lust
for most
and love
for those
dreaming of idealism

lust is simple evacuation
where as love is injection
take it or leave it

love is permanent
lust is like infatuation
impermanent!

lust is like dew
and
love is the draft
that draws the dew

so everlasting is actually love
but
youth needs more of lust than love
apart from the mother’s bosom

be one a son or a boy...

ketchup bottle gleam
the plans of days glitter
slipping on the clasp

a locomotive cries
like thunder chortling
in daydreams grasp

Roll days like a blunt
sealed wishs with a
wet tip
and crisp red lit
from sharp edge matchstick
drawn quick

the plates swept away
and beneath this sky
you tuck your napkins
stained with tears down
the tight squeeze of your
thigh

ABOUT RAINBOWS
[In memory]

I’m sorry for the words
I never did say
and all the things
I didn’t do for you.
I’m sorry for the silent days
and my stubborn ways.
But most of all I’m sorry
you never did see
the rainbow in me.

OF HUMAN BONDAGE

I am flesh and soul
I give of my seed
as I give of my heart
I am predator and prey
passion and prayer
and attrition for my sins.
I am nothing more than
who I am
nothing less than
what you want me to be.

DI SCHIAVITÙ II

sono carne e anima
do’ del seme volentieri
come del cuore.
Sono predatore e preda
passione e preghiera
e attrito per i peccati miei
Sono nulla di più che sono
niente di meno che mi dai...

The Constancy
________________________________
I hear a bird chirping sweetly
under the sound of your voice,
while we talk about nothing and everything
over the phone some mornings.
I imagine the bird is content
but I don't know.
.
I am slowly imploding.
Slowly crushed by the limits
of this faulty container.
It's an odd world from my perspective.
When I gave up the whys, I gained peace,
I am getting better all the time.
in a way.
.
There is a constancy.

I spied him briefly you know.
I'm of course referring to my muse,

and from what they say, (I'm on a need to know basis because there are many things I don't need to know.)
he simply bolted upright, got to his feet, and then headed straight for my brain;

where, I might add...he's been causing havoc ever since!
But, I digress; and quite simply try to do and look my best all of the time.

I have regular days where I do fall a "tad" short;
whatever a tad, is. It must be some increment of vague measure,

I walked without the laughter of the children
I felt empty, and so alone, the world may have ended
Please tell me I am wrong? I cannot see!
There seems to be an empty space in front of me.

Yesterday they were here, I heard them so
Please tell me what has made them go?
I cannot see it's hard for me to listen to emptiness.
Just tell me I am wrong and it won’t be long.
Before the children return.

A new look:-

When another makes the effort
To reach out and touch someone
There are ears that listen
To the message in all sum

No matter the rejection
Keep trying to be heard
Just try and try again
Someone reads your word

Loving and being loved
It’s not easy, so I’m told
In a world that does not hear
In a world that’s cold

There is warmth here, in some hearts
for those who pay attention
Just who they are and where
There is no need to mention

All he does is sit all day
before a window looking out,
what little hair he has is gray.
I wonder what he thinks about.

That window fronts on a small wood
there behind the nursing home.
He'd love to walk there if he could
as in his youth he used to roam.

But he is stuck in his wheel chair;
a stroke and bad hips keep him bound.
His eyes tell he'd rather be out there
beneath the trees on shaded ground.
