Long Kryptonite Poems

Look up in the sky ! It’s a bird ! It’s a plane.
It’s Superman !
More powerful than a locomotive, faster than a speeding bullet, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. This fearless...

I don't know what came over me that day - an instant of weakness after years of resistance, I suppose.

My beaming spouse leads me, a dog on a short leash, into the forbidden citadel, the...

Let my ears deceive me but I hear it, can't bother to drown it out
the taunting laughter at my misery
Fictional should they be but the reality has cleared the camouflage
which hath once shrouded me
Exposed and...

America
I´m here to bring you
What you don´t need
Another heartfelt poem
Another heartsick plea
Worth less than
Chewed gum
America I’m tapping
At your window
At 3 am
With a bag full of
Sour wine
And a shopping list
Of grievances
America wake up
It´s me and I...

Razor sharp tongues unleashed 
Lashing out viciously to openly 
legitimise bigotry 
then suddenly taking offense 
when queried 
releasing long concealed weapons
the deep desire to "remodel Africans"
No intentions of acceptance in sight 
Spitting out venom faster...

"Hey,I give up"
Ha! How easy that seems.
A weight off my shoulders. 
A sigh of pure relief.

"One more test and i'll scream"
Only pain,noise,a quiet,so shrill 
Every time you touch me, 
A little more, you take.

"I'm not...

Why does everything i do make me more confused
I thought i was done with you
With your love, thought i had buried you for good
but because i was addicted to it
I went and exhumed it
but i...

Fat is beautiful, thin is beautiful too. Black is beautiful, so is white. Isn't beauty subjective? Aren't we crystallizing 'arbitrary constructs' way too much? And ending up victimizing that stranger, that friend, our very own...

In the dark she is waiting, 200 kilos of velvet
separating one world from the other.
It was art to her, she was under no pretence,
she was an instrument, and she made the other instruments merge in...

O souls of the Island, 
I have silently 
heard through 
tropical torrents 
and surpassed 
a million miles 
of the milky seas, 
away from 
mint-marine 
silhouettes of my
utopian wonderland, 
as strawberry 
ripples and 
coconut-scented 
musings called...

"Super Hero"



Krypto Knighted
Disrobed Le Penseur 
contemplates strength
a royal monk disrobing within
Rodin begins to think
new dreams dialled in
naked vulnerability begins
hiding behind dark angel wings
pinned between the box-cadged 
dimensions of a glass onion
black crows waiting along the...

The azure ocean, home to the embedded enormous incomprehensible riches of mysteries and riddles,
More than the Mars, lies unfathomed, underneath the conundrum of oceanic colossal rhythms. 

From the The Milky Sea Phenomenon, a sight captured...

Not so long but long ago a hurricane inside my soul and I cant explain.
Years of emptiness have flown by
All the pain and heartbreak gone
the caving felt like home 
Emotions gone; I felt none
I thought...

I cannot put into words how I really feel. 
How delightful my life have been with you. 
A connection so deep even reality seems to fade away in our denial of individuality. 
I am hopeful...

The graveyard was melting.
in the shadows of nightfall.
Darkness and death 
are my fear my kryptonite.
Yet I walked into the iron gate 
creaking like old bones.

I needed to find you
I know you lived here now.
I could...

Between God and the human race
is space. Oh,what brought us to this place?
I mean, He fashioned us to be near to Him,
to be His dearest friend, but a foreigner
entered in...... prominant and dominant,
that beguiling seductress...........

American cosmonaut
	moonwalking
Humanity is tethered to the line,
sweating vacuum fear facing the void
Planet of the apes ...
	backwards talking
Silent film projector reel
spinning in reverse ... time capsule re-entry noise
Caveman slug in a spacesuit
	retrograde crawling
Mushroom cloud cinematography ......

Trying to figure you out is like living in the Ice Age,
My love for you is like a dream escapade.
Tears dropping are more constant than a Tsunami,
Us together is like a cat and mouse game.

When words do not describe a picture inside
A blossom of great beauty that relay passion
The idea of one is only one because it is life
Staring into the sky I seldom get my answer
But when I...

The stranger is strange, pariah, leper sounds offbeat,
 Neither truculent, nor relevant, all destined to encounter the doomed relic;
The bizarre outlander, alien to stimulate the instant pulse-beats!
The uninvited hobnobber, one despises to welcome in routine...

You said you...

I want to be the man who’ll be more than your man
I want to be the one you make your best friend
Not to replace the ones you got
But a different one to start
A different kind...
