Sloth


No one awaits
No one cares.

   Right

Freely choosing
   where to go
And then not doing so.

   Nice

Reclining
Trying to go to sleep
Even languish
Drowsily figuring it out

   Fine

Hearing the phone ring on
Check and decide
Not this time

   Quite.

Someone‘s fond of me
After all

Still
   I am not.

On Water...


______________________

Everything is possible
In water

The rigid trunks of the trees
Rest and relax
In this waving water

As they get rid of
What is unbendable
Despite the past stronger winds

And what tight was
Becomes soft
And eased off

Yes, everything is possible
In water

Water gets rid of tears
And all the others
who come to reflect…

It all becomes whimsical
Progressing into that unreal stop

Even your tough face today
Sweetly swinging
Smiles
  on water.

hot night


Crickets and frogs
What do they ask for

In their issues

Their sound
And this cool breeze
Through my window

Breaking the serene night
Of my silence.

hope


Unfinished
These fragments
Persistent
Immaterial

Hoping you were
Were not trying
Trying again the old formula
Breathe in, breathe out

Hoping I had
Was having
One last shower
Putting on
My favourite silky piece
Bringing back old memories
Allaying

Hoping you are...
You know
Knowing and never forget
You are who you are
 
Hoping you are...
You accept
Accepting there is no way back
 And time is not going to stop
For you
Or anyone.

Hoping you are...
You realize
Realizing I was
Longing so little ago
For the end of what’s now
A desired
Shivering winter

Hoping we are...
Hoping we were
Sinking  into my inner sea
Meaningless
Unforgettable.
Hopeless.

Ruined Sunday ~(a 160)



Bright sunshine morning
Sigh
My smile anticipates
Waiting on our love
With plans
So well planned
Ruined by your call
Sorry forgot
 It’s  father’s day
See you tomorrow!

common sense

And you...

Still unaware of your running risks

Reminding me to beware of mine.

And I ...

Unable to control my will

Relaxing you

On my thighs.

And it’s ok

That’s alright

For that’s the way we like

This unpredictability of ours.

And they...

Reluctant to accept

Our concern

Reducing us

To mere,

Weird

Fatuity.

Solstice Drafts


What if we have a nap

    In my secret

    So secret yard

Which is not behind

Or next to any land

     Created just for me

    by the guardian spirit

What if we run

    along the notes

   played by this sea

   which is not hidden

but only we can get to see.

     It’ll be nice nice nice

          Life life life

   and listen and smell

   together

    this infatuation

which  is not forbidden

why, nobody understands

What if we play with our words

   those

   which we only infer

   and seize

What if we touch,

    caress and kiss

What if we do

and reach

     high high high

until the nap is

     inevitable?

poetry and so

...

Attempts to open one’s heart
To whomever.

So he said
Now that I have it all
I feel most disgraceful

the Door, 2010
That’s sad, yet
I’ll make a poem out of that

He meant it
And so did I

A poem?
Yes, poetry I write
No idea what that is…
That’s not just that


Problem is
     you can’t see poetry in me...

You do
And not realize
     have no idea
What this means
To me

Ideas I have
That’s why

I cannot conceive
You have it all
And reject to see
In you or me
The swinging power
of
     Poetry.

beautiful


Some beauty

More beauty

Visits my place

All the beauty

Above beauty

Kissing my neck

I refuse to refuse

And yet

Beauty stands

Out -stands

Overcomes

Inspires

Perspires

Within me.
