after the concertAfter the concert
Now, in the afternoon of my life
My thoughts are about love and romance
These pesky things are disturbing
My tough exterior makes me soft and weepy
When no one looked is now in front and
Naked I appear; yes, you old fool
Words of love and music for the heart
Make me cry and loosen the knot...

MysteriousA star never loses its shine,
You can never ever compare it
to beer and wine.
We love its glow, we also love it,
when its fire.
That's the impact of a pure thing.
We may love less,
but we can never stop loving.
The same is true with God,
same as with the faith....

The Room filled with unwritten poemsA Room Full of Unwritten Poems
A room—
Quite not real though,
Not built of woods or bricks,
Structured with the unfinished and unwritten verses,
Smeared by weathering paint,
More like an echo left without the speaker.
Swaying curtains, now getting silenced.
Door hinges rusted, creaking—
But in my mind,
It’s just similar to those small giggles and laughs
Left behind by the envied person.
Envy because...

under wanton fog,
lone self plight,

swallowed by eerie phantoms,
of snow gust night’scape...

Hellas and the port of Piraeus hold a memory
in my seafarer’s heart, civilized people, no
they are not leaders of efficiency, but you can
talk to them and expand your knowledge.
Not forgetting whores, they had time for a drink
sharing, a joke, and didn’t hurry you.
In Hamburg, it was never thus, no smiles, no foreplay
efficiency ruled; money on...

Blood in the QuietSilence isn’t quiet —
it’s the scream stuck in my throat,
the venom dripping from broken teeth,
the promise shattered on cracked floors.
Your silence is a fist
beating against my ribs,
each unanswered breath a knife twisting deeper,
a war waging beneath broken skin.
I claw at shadows
grasping ghosts that slip through bleeding fingers,
love drowned in the dark,
where silence is a battlefield
and...

Under an August Sunthe soothing shade from a majestic oak
refreshes in a marvelous mellow way
as a gentle breeze sways in rhythm its lush green
nostalgic memories of love have come and gone
whilst the magic of summer has only just begun...

the bodyThe body
Johan on the strand
The sun shone on his belly
Gulls had gouged his eyes
Crabs crawled into his nose
came out of his mouth
A shroud of sea tar
A man strummed a guitar
A girl laughed
A summer in 1954.

Randall vs Randallwhat is left of me,
once you have taken all that I am?
what words are left for me to wallow in
after you say goodbye?
in who's arm do I find comfort,
now that mine have been shackled?
how do I say I love you
when I can't bring myself to love again,
or have I ever?
how...

Emotional ShrapnelContinuous cathartic resonance of black bashful veil,
imposing the darkest recess and its tangled tantrums amassed,
phases exist without problematic manifest intrusion illusory but for a while,
the reckless chilling bursts of wild incendiary angst a blight,
such burdens match interminable interior and exterior struggle,
the bulk of etched trauma recent or derivative of remote life event,
an additional weight as...

Motherthough my life is rougher
Compared to some other
And constantly i suffer
Never will i trade it for another
Even if its a life much better
To me it will not matter
I will be just stronger
And try to be much wiser
Protect them from danger
Give the best of life i can offer
For there is no greater joy
To...

RomanticizeI looked at the trees.
They moved with the birds, while they chirped and laughed.
Shutting the door, my hand shaking from former caffeine.
I heard music from my room.
It stopped.
My speaker died.
The blinds let the light in and my room smelled good,
like laundry in the morning.
My skin was easy today and my lips...

At the End of the Road, At the End of the DayAfter Angella Voras-Hills
fallen green apples here and there
at a dead end, the yard is
where in the story lies an
ending, the life I lead an illusion
a collage along the road of
broken houses bathed in light
a quiet moment, a lament when
the day bleeds into colors
and all my realities and dreams connect
There is an illusion of light...
