Never lifted weights
He spent his time in the loft 
inventing a thing called Microsoft

you must throw a stone into the sea
move away from bad thoughts
weights collapse to the deep

now you became a feather...

People in limitations 
To carry weights 
Bundles of lies 
Always 
So heavy to carry 
From where comes energy 
To carry them lies...

When the storm is out
And the rain has stopped 
Deluging my drought,
I find my weights dropped
I have been clean washed.

I have rights, but oft times
A chosen wrongs
That gives me burns
I have weights that I can't lift
Up in arms, needless worries
Timid and bold
This story told
I 've chosen wrong...

Hours of kick boxing
Eye lids on a constant sit up practice,
Blood flowing down through various yoga positions
Eye muscles are stretching
The lips lifting weights
Cells running on a treadmill,
After such a long boot camp
The mind ready for meditation....

The past is long gone,
Even yesterday is no more.
People came and left things done,
Now have left you, your eyes sore.

But, wipe those teary eyes,
Let go of your burdens and weights.
Look outside, look up to the skies,
Smile now, my dear, the day awaits.

On the lay of intoxication,
Drunken from the wine of Eden,
Couldn’t lift the eye lids of her lights,
As weights were upon them,
Yet depicts pleasure in the expression of her look,
Co’s she’s eaten from the seed of multiplication,
Know not if the seed dies into creature,
As the unborn embryo awaits,...

i watch my diet, my weight,
lift weights, jog and sprint,
do crunching sit-ups,
shape and sculpt myself
into a glistening statue
of health, of youthfulness,
hoping to stay that way
even for the shortest while
before i shall join the ashes
when this dream is over,
with a smile and crossed fingers...

( for Syria)


Flywheels enamel
with heartblood,
aortal ticks hesitate

before the dull bang
of a falling fist;
the fat knuckle

of the next hit,
tick tick the small ones,

the eaters of dust,
stone-eyed they
fall apart like lost time,

the weights that
regulate all this
are unbalanced....

The problem with Weights and Measures
Is akin to wealth and pleasures
The Rule of Thumb
Is really dumb 
Yet quickly produces treasures*

*American canned products may contain
30% - or more - unregulated water priced at 
the same rate as the product, making it the 
most expensive water on earth!...

I fly across a lively splendid hallway over to the cross side. 
Stirringly, my body is as yet stored on the acrid, cold ground. 
My weights are lowered, relieving a large burden off my gear.
Alike a shouting newborn,  entirely bare and defenseless.

My heart aches
I am fat
It's already too late!

The workout kills
The instructor is hunky

My stomach churns
I am overweight
It is not even funny

The weights are stuck to the floor
The stretch ribbons won't stretch anymore

My jiggly parts burns

Screw this, I'm out for the door!
Let's go out and have a food war...

Driving along in my automobile 
I looked up there was no wheel 
Foot on the brakes turned to cornflakes 
Found my self in the gym having a swim 

Then I was doing weights 
I called the instructor to put more on
There are no more mussels galore 
Alarm went off with smile on my face 
Another day in the rat race...

If butterflies are free
We must abolish acrylic 
Boxes
Paper weights and
Tiny bottles with
Tasteless flowers...
Butterfly nets
Picture flames and
Collectors who boast to know
Them all by name.
We must abolish fancy coasters and
Little boys
Who pinch their wings...
Dead butterflies are such
Unseemly things....
