I remember.
I forget.
I wonder why.
You're so easy to remember.
You're so hard to forget.
Time ticks out no respite.
Today I am wrong.
The other day,
I was right.
To be loved
To be wanted and held,
Never forgotten.

To know this.
To bathe in vitriol.
To know it is all you.

To want to be clean.
To want to care.
To want to want.

poem
lyrics
or just a screed

we rant
we rave
we rage against the machine

dandelions
daffodils
pear blossoms

and they say
to get gray
you must facilitate

the mostly holy
union
of bull and cow
An abstract word painting.
I just saw something here
which led me to write this
and I shall leave it here.

we're not being built
we are only an assembly
primary parts that
may resemble you but look
**** all like me

it's the machinery
or chicanery
or even Merlin up to
some wizardry
but
we are not being built

progress can kiss my
laissez-faire
wherever that is.

I could not fall asleep.
I ate everything.
even the food that I eat
However, life is harsh.
My family is awake.
Northern and southern
The bombs are meaningless.
For the clergy, they have destroyed the country.
because of the severity of the oppression.
This is, without a doubt, Israelism.
They found a table and ate.
Palestinian liberation brothers
I apologise for any disappointment.
The world has turned sour.
Everyone wishes for and consumes
It is draped in the freedom garment.
So, what exactly is freedom?
It has now become a riddle.
among the mourners
in the western and northern hemispheres
as well as those in the east
I can't hold her in reality
But I can hold her in my dreams
Tragedy and Comedy
Everybody screams

I like the little poems
Gently sleeping deer
10 years after I'm dead
Nobody to hear

Grateful for good movies
Music, magic, books
Even the teacher got no idea
Just how mean she looks

San Francisco in the fog
Cool grey city of love
Exoplanets spin
Aliens above?

        Thank you, Andy Dove.

I want to feel what they feel,
and dream what they dream.
It must be nice to have a heart like that.
Sometimes I remember what it was like
to have that spark, the joy, the dreams,
the hunger for it all before
it was extinguished.

Indeed
But there's a path for happiness as well, right ?
They all say it.
