"The Payload" 

The payload 
came crashing down
like rain expelled
from the fat belly 
of a ruinous pregnant cloud 
bilious with buxom promise

from the tight confines
of a course rope...

Wine tears
Flowing through the contours of cheeks
To reach these valleys residing in heart
Listen
Let the echo jump into this abyss
Until it reverberates like a suicidal cry
And breaks like a rope

and encapsulates healthy fixation
why I can spend countless hours
engrossed with printed material

Or because of advices of the
Doctors, psychologs;
Most of us get a cheap piece of matter

"O Witless Quill"




O witless quill
sharply dipped in smiles leering
joust they your words
on their egos competing
galloping black stallions, see them fall

“If you would merge with oneness, vaporise!
Be a child again, welcoming surprise!”

Shrouded in darkness
Feeling thus confined

Searching for joy 
Bliss in permanence 
Yet our heart senses
That we are far...
