WALLPAPER

---------------------
Paper Thin
Cut down to any size,
Crumble, crop me wrong 
Pull the insulation from my heart.
Never will I be "A Paper Doll!"
Thank you for calling me a "Friend!"
Thank you for wasting  my "time!"
Enjoy the WALLPAPER display

Layers and layers of lifeless brick
KEEPS EVERYTHING OUT! 
Emotional poster...

Encage us we are of collective souls
Display us in prisoned wallpaper as ghouls
Send us into these sepsis tanks, in tin cans 
in torture dungeons, in faraway lands                  ...

Wallpaper Vapors? 

I wanted to repaper my room
But mom and dad said it’s too soon
You just did it yesterday, you crazy kook
But THAT paper had kayaks and today I want nuns
My parents just looked at me, clearly stunned
Had I gone religious all of a sudden?
Ignoring...

It looked like a shark
Or a whale
In the waters so pure they floated
In a light so bright they greeted

The water was bubbling with the breaths
Of these
Again it may have been a whale or a shark
In the great artist's mind
Creatures so free
Only a mind could feel

The others turn to wallpaper,
an amalgamation of colours,
reds run into blues run into greens.
A palate of insignificance
submerged behind our corneas,
may as well be grey.
Nascent in our welfare womb,
sharing oxygen: I breathe in, you breathe out.
The curves of your fingertips
tease my acrylic French tips.
Then I turn...

Tonight I’m dressed up
in the finest wallpaper
As you waltz by
With your shiny 
Trophy of the week
Oh, you should be
A fly on my Wall
I rolled up in the edges
Of the Seventh Day Herald
News of your Armageddon
In my hands
Splat!...

It’s the weekend
And my weak begins
I can’t pretend
That your memories fill my lungs

My knees are bruised
My inner eye opens
I follow the wind
As it blows through memories’ curtains…

Chorus 
I’m lost…in a sea of tears
Can’t you see me
‘cos you’re all I see…you’re my wallpaper
I lie in bed...

A piece of paper
on a wall
it is an exercise
not too small

They come in rolls
from many a shade
to suit all types
both public and trade

The lady likes a flower
on a nice pattern
a kid likes it bright
but others just like to discern

While some are costly
and some come cheap
it’s...

Moon is shining, 
window to the soul,
stare through 
the paper doll,
wallpaper hearts
are raining
water rivulets,
leading lines.
Into the ocean,
dreams and wishes
washed up 
the rocky shore,
starry expanse,
scars and clouds,
laughing scissors
cut into flesh.
Forget the heart
and hopes behind,
learn to forget,
remember that....

A SUBLIMINAL ANNOYANCE

Over
the tannoy-
easy list'ning
relaxing the clasp on
our purse...

The room was dank and dreary
The past hung in the air
There was a scent of mildew
A smell of history was there
The paint was old and faded
With stains all dark and brown
The wallpaper too was dated
And it needed to come down
It was a home for 50...

Pale and pasty, my face.
Disappearing into stripes - regaling no stance.
Gone - no trace.

Red hair…freckles.
Please, won’t someone ask me to dance?
…heckles.

Heart’s weak…
Is there no chance?!
Speak!

Pale and pasty, my face.
Please, won’t someone ask me to dance?
Speak!

I bluster
with what 
I don't understand
and cover up
the cracks
with anger and pain....

Does that make it unjust.
That I not share every detail that bursts open inside me.
Every time I hear your name.
Every time that I think about you.
I admit that it comes as unjust. 
That it's an unhealthy habit as eventually it has nowhere else to go.
But...

Walking through the door of my childhood home
brought back tsunami of wisdom overture.
Tastes and colours in décor change with culture;
varied pallet of history in lands roam’.

My children had turned out to be a challenge
as they had early on displayed my talent
for examining and questioning latent
defects...
