The new potatoes
have arrived in the market,
the cauliflowers too.
For now,
I have no interest
in any of that.
Crossing through
forests and groves
of flesh and blood,
without an oar,
I am moving forward
towards
a pink-coloured flood,
where
I will be able
to cry a little.
There,
ever-flowing
through a forest of reeds,
I will be able
to become
a deer in pajamas.
But no,
it is not that
I am going somewhere to die.
Death
is no one of mine.
Between
truth and falsehood
I am now swinging.
The morning rooster
watches in astonishment
as I carry
in my right hand
the voice of a boy,
and
in my left,
the voice of a girl.
I,
now bearded and moustached,
am also there,
beside the swift-flowing
river of melancholy,
though
in the courtyard there
is no
orange tree.
And yet,
tearing myself away
from my own pain,
I want
to embrace
the masculine scent
of an orange's body.
A Hemingway cat
Moustached with five toes up front
White mittens with thumbs
At our first date,
I saw her as the only comforter
To my soul that's craving for true love
& then undressed my mind & soul & heart
to bath in her anointed river of love
My heart squinted into hers
as it opened up the door of my mouth
to say out all the romantic words
I been keeping for the one I truly desire
Gently, my right hand rolled on her face
as I moustached her lips
& smoothly rubbed my left hand on her thigh
so that my touches can alarm her heart from sleep
and become the employee to my love
with salary worth staying long

You reawaken my broken cell,
Killed every germs in my growing love,
& perfumed my heart to your heartfelt joy
Every time I see your smile,
my soul dances to your romantic jazz
&make me drag heartbreak into hell
You're the reason I vomit worries,
Excreted emotional damages
As you cloth my mind with lasting memories
When my intestine became disgusting
From how my love was made rotten,
You came and made it fresh by caring
& moustached my heart till it realized you are truly loving
You are the chlorophyll to my faded love
The fertilizer to my kiss buried in a filthy soil,
When I was the dry leaf to life,
you came & bathed me a love full of worth

Note : this poem is dedicated to my loving and caring girl friend..
A girl and a boy walking in front,
(In my college one day, I saw)
she had such long shiny hair -
smooth silken threads of black -
he wore it cropped short;
Wishing that girl's
hair were mine,
I turned
green.
I crossed them and cast a backward glance.
No wonder my face turned beet red,
(glad my eyes did not fall out)
The one with the tresses
was a moustached guy,
and the one with
the boy cut
was the
girl !!!
