The strongest word is the heaviest to lift The most meaningful expression the one that gets the message through And honesty… is the gravity. It gives weight to words And “I love you” is lighter than “I don’t love you anymore” Because honesty alone hurts more people than any lie.

The strongest word
It’s those monochrome voices that break the joyous bubble, bursting the rainbow shadows. Those bleak voices that dissolve the party and fill my heart with dissatisfaction. It’s the same colour as my soul, but there’s no need to spread the misery. My heart used to be just fine – you invited the greyhounds of horror to my doorstep, to my soul. And the colourblinds now stare with their mouths open with their mouths foaming but they just stare as if they can see through my hollow soul and they just stare. And they just stare.

Greyhounds at my doorstep
I can see them Dancing in their fancy clothes On the amputated arms and legs That built their country An unimaginable pain Impossible to understand By someone like me The rich and prosperous The westerners and the UN With the help of media Publish propaganda which we – Arrogant and naïve – Believe And think our government is honest Purely because it’s stable And most won’t even be able To locate Sierra Leone Or Rwanda In the index of an atlas And this stupidity of The age of unnecessity And overflow of emotionless objects Slowly kills me And one finger after another I feel those masters of the third world Hack and saw them off But they’ll never get my spirit And my heart And these words will resound: Down with lies and hatred Down with money and policy Down with exploitation and death Now feel my love reach out to you

What happened to humanity?
They make me smile Like that dimple on your cheek It looks like a second smile Below those two beauty spots You do everything twice, don’t you? It makes me laugh When you laugh And snort. It’s a cute kind of snort Not a pig, but a piglet You’ve always been the cute one. And you’re embarrassed to hold My hand in public But you still have to When we cross the street – An old habit That reminds you of something You have such a special mind And I love every bit of weirdness You Produce. If only you weren’t making of my overly active – Hyper-active, ADD infested, LSD tripping – brain.

Your weird little habits
I am remorse in a physical form I am love in all my actions I am thunder expressed in words I am happiness in my untruthfulness I am life in all forms I am the movement of a speckle I am gravity pulling ugly women I am a death ray creating worlds I am a dragon pierced by a sword I am that sword piercing a dragon I am a ghost of myself I am Nothing

I am
I know the secret behind art. It isn’t beauty or love. Beauty and love are expressive words about art, but they do not form art. It is the pain and fear of love and beauty. The pain of having and the fear of losing. And the fear comes from the knowledge that you will have to face it someday. And the pain is always there, lurking behind beauty that is called art. All those bad memories, sad days. On those days or after, you relieve yourself of the pain, so you can face another day made of pain. Between the moments of relief and pain are the days filled with fear. And whenever you write, you write of fear or pain, in the seek of beauty and love between your words of fantasy. I know the secret behind art.

I know the secret behind art
Nobody understands silence any more. They don't respect peace, they get annoyed by tranquillity, they escape their own problems, drown their sorrows in constant babble. There is no peace any more. They, he, she, you, me, we. Resting is underrated, so they talk and they talk, about problems of someone else's, never solving their own inadequacies, never respecting our will for peace. I just want to be able to go to the beach, the library, the café and read and sit and think, while I look out the window (people walking by). They don't find beauty in silence any more. Why don't they understand the simplest of things? Just silence and me. We would, and do, go well together. Just me. Just silence. ... .. .

Silence
I have not found a better home, I have looked for an eternity. Every road took me somewhere, eventually I found myself lost. The paths I chose blossomed and horses walked them happy. Yet, these roads are not for everyone, you too, may find yourself lost. If you travel by night, the Moon will shine the way. If you travel by day, the Sun can take you astray. For these paths, the roads, are not for everyone. So turn back and believe me, as I have walked this way before. You are not supposed to be here, this road leads to a lonely desert. I have warned you once already, the next won't help you at all. You have run past your happiness, now walking in the night, this road of loneliness will be the end of you. I know, as I have walked this way before. It is only, a highway to desolation, which no one should go. And now you know, which way is home.

Desolation
Nothing as lonely, as a lonesome man traveling. With the company of his thoughts and some ideas. Many problems and no solutions. Music as his company, the plane isn’t so boring. Last week’s red wine, (in the form of ***** on his notebook, has allied with the moistness of his room. So he skips a page and writes a poem.
