F Love

We are like that dog chasing his own tail
trying to posses something of its own 
something that is beyond us
never to be touched
only to be looked upon
Gods are laughing from us
we are their laughing stock
grotesque humanity at its best
inventing our life
while being shaped by it.
And right back, where we belong
Arrogance of our loner god
is our own self deception
Led by his own will
misguided in sleeplessness
we are dying on the way,
to be reborn in clarity of future lies,
lost and never to be loved,
shaped into the featureless
sunset of a sculpture
in a snowy sense of senility
where time is moving away from us
and we fall to stand.
You call it love 
I call it master and slave morality

My Cup of Tea

Sometimes It seems
like I can still feel 
the rhytm of your heartbeat
Going up and down
together with mine
In its meek and deep 
beat so sweet
I melt in
As does honey
in my cup of tea.
So I blame them honey bees
for my weakened,  falling knees
for wanting  to kiss 
you while the night 
shades the day
in its repeating way
out of our resemblances.
And in my silence
I pray to the trees
nurturing the flowers
for them needy bees
to let me feed on
the feel of your heartbeat.

You Are So Tense, Cos You Are So Tender

You are so tense, 
cos you are so tender

Deep inside
into the melody and structure of your soul
which as a sort of translucent musical instrument
away to be fine tuned 
and there’s no one else that will do 
the way you do,
you will get the hints, to help you
but the final part, of your soul tuning
is up to you.. and your body senses
and no excuses
cos they help in no way
and no somebody’s else dullness or smartness 
but your own flamboyant self
regardless of inexplicably shiny shadows
loosing the pace but never in forgiveness
to the piety succumbing filth of bloodthirsty altars 
so think of millions of lost and found pieces
in radiance never to be completed
but always on their way
to revoke your peaceful saturation 
to the one and one, or the other, but never yours
sincerely and kindly
peaks above peaks
with the coldness getting under your skin 
chill of hanged love 
creeping though hardly breathing 
peak above peaks
master Kethmandu.
I’m the tallest
cos there’s rocks and rocks,
been thrown my way
so I could stand them up
and use the newly acquired high...
high altitude vocation to do
some power and maintenance
outspoken turbulence
as if ...in life we die
Endurance is a golden key
which opens many doors
are the passages to and from
where we will 
are meant to
or want to
some of them are only to be opened
and never ever closed but less clearer
some of them by being 
looked inside and closed forever 
and ever to be fueled
with the greatest mysteries 
that sprouted in a shroomy way
hideously laughing round 
unfolding themselves, .. to him
to his overwhelming feeling
of achievement, of real work done
by a real mastery right hand
in the right sphere 
under the lamp post
of collisions between 
aversion and curiosity.

Fly High

Fly high

Ruthless cry
and your voice 
once liquidy then dry
Fortunate the ones
that escaped
but we still hanging
above the grace
And days they long
for the nights where
all goes wrong
And do I try 
to bury myself
in a wry smile
so  you cry
over the killer that is supposedly I
Shyness escaping into a sober smile
while birds fly high
till they drop and die
and so do I 
fly high.

Fabric of My Soul

Fabric of my soul

Tuna
tuna the killer
blessed be the darkness,
the darkest thought that made you
smile laugh and enjoy the havoc you made
Made fool of youself
for the madness is no weakness
Angels I shout
in rave we die, echoo
Echooooooo
Through and never fully in
This play
dot to dot in blindness that dazzle and
wears off
all the while
weaving the weaves of cry laughs
Echooooo
Alive and commited is
Fabric of my soul.

Diamonds and Ashes

He  thinks,  he won a battle
But war is full of battles
Lets keep that in mind
While weaving   
beams and streams
the web of lights

Days they die  
light glows
Warrior of light seeks
his  shades  in dark
 with pain inflamed
He  digs his  ground under
to the heated core.

And light he seeks,
though dark he fought
is light his speech
he  weeps  diamonds
And burns in 
smoke and ashes.

But Now

Our empty dishes
thrown out  swollen heads
hunter  and  huntee is setting in
for a game and  a full plate
Hope is revived by the pulse
of our swaying rhythm
rather soon than later in the day
and then again
bathing in the river
watched are the shores being washed
You start where i stopped
offer a sense in  direction 
where lost are the wishes
blown are  the winds 
our kin in flight 
In transmutation we are hanged
and swayed into  the novelty  
straight honestly ironed
and solid sober
but yawned
Watched are the currents
 washing the wishes 
and our worn out thoughts
we’re not coming back to the same road
off with your  precious stones 
showers  of fine dust
in time we die
but now ...

Nebula

Curved and coiled
 in  a holy matrimony  unexpectedness
cut out of a blue and reddish steam
 esteem rises
plugged into the play
 of  our  space begotten time
after time will pass us down
 Curved by gravity
of  your darting gaze
 made are the  clouds
where  the sun comes up
 and keeps us blind
So we talk the walk 
 in  the  heightened spirals
spirit’s  tail’s game 
 Echoes in yet another pattern
bent  unbroken,  kept  tight
 like a daze in a haze flow
are the  speechless crowds
 within us
Beyond a single word’s  reach 
 to cut the length between
and bleach the page
 within
to teach  us in  
 on how to redeem  our esteem 
out of this thickening cloud
  solidifying tar
and the  petty gravity of its sticky habits
 shedded  skins

The Sleepwalker

The Sleepwalker

I have bathed  in your rays
 went slowly under  
melted  ways
 thorny tears, diluted eyes  
of thy beholder with no hold onto
 thy tying spy in our sleep
less the night allows us into 
 the spider’s  webs neat
entwined 
 and a bit chaotic beat
takes us back again 
 above our melted ways
sprouting  back and into
 the bloomy sunny day
later  nightly  shades
 will hides us under
 magic  lanterns milky way
 planting  in us  pictures  
the  seeds of
 then bath us in the rain 
till the day meets us
 in its way
plucking us out of 
 the stream of  dreams
made up ways.

In Us Out

Allure of a bliss 
 in an  abyss 
light consolation’s breeze
 Out of the dusk   
long be the night through
 as we move across
floathing clouds of hue
 in and out of  tune  
we merge with the shades
 as they come,  out of the blue.

 Worn like could be stone
could be warm
 cold through and through
we blush we clash
 in  bloom and doom
turning in us out 
 as time drags  you in
the waves  you  breath
 in and out alike
In peace you reel
 the tension’s  tides.

Feels wobbly,  is  dull 
 moving in the tracks
of a different  I 
 are the others too
as are those  behind 
 you see them out
in an eye for an eye
 as they come, are sly

And in as much, we dream 
 home back aloud 
we zoom in,  we fall out 
 modest to be plenty
to be many, to be you
 and none as much, as is due
we’re moving in the loops
 through  the tune   
we flee  
 in us 
out.
