At parting, you'll be missed, I fear,
A treasure lost, a friend so sincere.
Once ignored, now sought by all,
A fleeting light, they heed your call.

They poke and pry, their gaze intense,
As if you're fading from their presence.
A ship sailing into the distance,
Your journey's course, a mystic existence,
An out of world experience.

They long for you to stay,
But destiny summons you away.

I’ll find you in another life
I promise
An appetite of the soul.

Too long
Dangerous
Sharp

Trim them down
Round them out
No sharp edges

Red lines
Raised flesh
Proof of history

Rip it out
Rip it out
Rip it out
Can’t breath
Rip it out

No
No
No

Don’t scratch
Don’t claw
Rip it out
Can’t breath
No
Kissing the Stars?
By: F. Panerio

You –
Talk too much
Driven by ego.

Me –
Silence from within
Great soul awaken inside.

You –
Just pretend a king (leader)
Yet, it’s hard to lead your own

Me –
Calm down with the winds
Consumed with grace & fires.


Note: Leadership is a gift, not a choice! ~ F. Panerio
[Hindi yanpamana, tanga!]
- PANERIO... MEANS....
Swig and swim in dimming seethe,
plastic cup palomas, beers held
close to chest as voices lap
up steeply to black rafters.
Standing close, I feel you breathe
under my hands, and swell
with music, ribbon-wrapped
in clap and laugh.
These nights, they roll on in wild waves:
we're falling bed into bed,
our touch like breaking bread
before a feast where nothing's saved
for later - not a single bite...
Then day rises cold and wet and white.

i want you through all of lifes moments
i want you in the moments where were on cloud nine,
where were so disgustingly in love,
so obsessed with each other.
i want you in the bad moments,
the moments were fighting,
and not seeing eye toeye.
i want you when all the pain,
seems like too much to bear.
i
just
want
you
Colours!

Burned
Twisted
Left-behind.

Awaken
Consumed
Free, at last.
Looked up to your atmosphere
Saw a little girl with wings
Painting the sky with the
Clouds
Brushing them up
And letting them flow
Like she did
With her mommy's hair
No camera can capture what we are gifted to see with our eyes and imagination. What do you see in the clouds
