my heart now missing
a souvenir that you took
displayed on your shelf
quickly forgotten
hidden behind the others
you, the knave of hearts
a true master of the game
no deviations
from the plan devised
me, blindsided by moonlight...

Pedestals..

Climbing up

Looking up

Seeming deviations

Extraordinaries..

Characters posing

As deserving of

Attention..leaders

It might be said..

Or knowers..

Or worshipers..

The stories

Separation has 

Wrought..

Showing up as

Already This......

These are not donations
But only my frustrations
From working all workstations
Yet no compensations
For Calais formations
From all my creations
Confrontations leads
To my deviations
Exclamations 
In need a vacation
I feel vibrations
Cause my expectations
Is I meet expectations...

Mama, you crazy
but crazy makes your arms so strong
they're enough for me
hold me up, when I weigh 106 pounds
slap me upside the head 
when I look at things I don't have to see 
your arms are always there
thru my smoke and my alterations
my stupid poems
deviations
forcing me to know
you love me

The sky is looking to contemplate the rainy drops. 
It is considering the theory of becoming new
 by breaking an old one. 
I doubt, though, if it is sure for all or if it may be. 
Deviations in nature are caressing the concept of transformation. 
Look at it in a beautiful way, like from a caterpillar 
to a butterfly, mandatory is the definition of changes....

At times
when you
don't want to
participate in a
societal function
you leave the scene,
wander through
the canyons, crevices
and hallways
of illusive deviations
pondering the ways, means
of your survival.
You don't intend
to be antisocial
but sometimes
you can't find
the essence, purpose
of all the distractions
that others consider vital
to their being....

My Monster





Selfishness my monster
was I born with acardia ?
Dejections came my way
and nourished the beast,
Griefs piled up constantly
that was the only feast,

As if I inspire disgust
and horror my face,
Deviations infinite
turning freak or fiend,
Humane or monster ?
Imaginary or legendary ?

Ah yes…..the R U L E S
those everpresent
everchanging R U L E S
those evertightening
straightjackets
of F O O L S
as folly’s foils
these lovers
oh so C R U E L
must meet at dawn
in wordless D U E L
ten paces
no deviations
it’s an ancient F OR M
entrenched
insanity as  N O R M
one shot
two F O O L S
discussion settled
oh….. those R U L E S

curve distribution
twilight divided 
Death
Life 
earth in between
blue marble goddess 
immaculate mean 
beneath my breath 
the dawn edges into corners
and I, under the press of stars
split wide by the tide of universe 
heaving water into stone 
go to those infinite cold spaces 
time held in a perfect bell 
of gothic desolation
swept into the darkness 
maimed 
by deviations
framed

How many hours are invested
in convincing Job's comforters
of disputable convictions


when perhaps 


depth lies in silent dialogues 

between a heart and a mind,

and can never be fully understood 

while lips attempt negotiations
to coerce agreements

by voicing disagreements...


... perhaps even wisdom has deviations;
maybe, wisdom in essence

is what works best for you 

when you need an answer....

Closed paths
from me, impel me
free paths ...
.
Blocked directions and
no signs,ordering
seek shelter
insurance ...
.
Amid flying
lost of dizzy,
half blind
I follow in my heart
radar...
.
Entangled in
deviations
imagine myself in
cut cords
as of in mazes
from Theseus ...
.
But if I lack
fresh roads,
I'm looking for other ways
in the sky ... so I continue,
flying to find me
heights ... beyond worlds ...!...
