Slick soap

Your hands willing fold

flocks of breathe in heaps;

tragic.

The tirade of laughter;

remorse;

broken lines mark time wilted.

I slick clean through like damp soap-

demask the rose that wept

and still fall loose like leaves

from trees that dream of summer.

A single drop from sagging eyes

Pops like

Yes it’s true I’ve fallen in love

I once fell in love with you

My muscles went weak

My hands shivered

My spine felt like a wilted stem

So yes it’s true I’ve fallen in love

But this time it wasn’t with you

It’s the memory of

I'm the picture in my straw hat.

See my stumbling swagger.

Let the 'I don't give a fuck' emanate.

Mr music man.

Let my harmonica 

show you my plights.

Dont worry. Be happy.

I won't. I am.

This baggy stained vest

suffocates all economic problems.

I lost my socks

alongside my last worry.

Let my middle

I've been to the moon.

Didn't like it.

Kind of like the sun

but cooler. Too quiet.

Maybe a macdonalds?

Just a thought.

Whats the hoo haa?

Mars Margate.

They both sell coffee.

Dont let the bed bugs bite

because they will.

They're vicious little fucks. 

They'll tear your sheets

from under you

to the sound of that click.

don't sleep with that thought.

That growing bullet

will slaughter those sheep.

Kill those bed bugs

while you still can.

They'll be an army

of monstrous bastards

Old soul in eyes pale blue
Harsh light on gentle skin.
I marvel at the sight of you.
Stay close to me.

So ready to see your light
Not so to see you dim.
Heaven glows angelic white.
Stay close to me.

Tiny hands curl like

Morning of Empty Eyes

Hidden in the dark of nights
sun rays strafing through my eyes...
Morning comes to pause the dreams
taking me through strange ordeals...

Dreams of dreams
more real than real
tests of life I live...
What do they give
but a damned insight
into damned things
"forget" does not forgive?

Endless strings

Disillusionment of a Romantic

What is that we should keep and what discard?
What is an act of genius what of retard?
Who dares say whether we should live or die
whether we should sing of joy or of sadness sigh?
What is passion but an emotions' game?
And latter of chemistry just nature's play?
Everything we are

Young he heard a strange voice in his head...
"Your destiny is of a warrior!" it said...
And it whispered of dreadful things
of hopelessness and flowerless springs...
A sunny walk under darkest of suns
on a beautiful day turned into dismay...
"It was God!" - he shouldn't later say...
The terrible sites ended with

What are Poems?

What are or should be poems
but inspiration in and of a moment...?
They rest shall dormant in your heart
until time comes for them to start
describing dreams desires
crossing trenches and wires
on battlefield of life...
Forcing them is like a knife
stabbing through your soul.
That shouldn't be a

If these letters speak of truth
Now one write them for all should.
 
May it be of bold young hearts
Everyone has played two parts.
Morning working evening fun
Over pain and pleasure gone.
Royal seat to Saray's fields
Yoke of ignorance now yields!
 
Of sun and tools fatigue sets

Masquerading

It starts with an innocent pick of a stitch

Then a color drop similar to a small white lie

A stain plops from this nonchalant
