I don't need another drop.
I'll stumble to bed tonight.
I hope I dream of you and
not her with the snake hair.
New World Order

   an inch or a mile
   or a simple smile
   or Peter Rabbit
   or deadly habit
   pull the lever
   just be clever
   slit your wrist
   never try to resist
   new world order
   with just one border
   without a fence
   or gaudy opulence
   just an open wound
   never healing
   a fierce desire
   without feeling
   are you black or brown
   or professor or clown?
   never mind your history
   it all remains a mystery
   in this world with no past
   an invisible cast.
My stone of pain and the sea of sin
Take them away!
Happily in my rhythm,
let your great tune on!

The darkness and the sorrow of mine
Move them away!
In my heart and tears,
let your fears retain!

All my lies and my abuses
Throw them away, please!
In my words and promises,
let your faith walk in!

The pain of my broken heart and dreams
Keep them away, God, take them away!
Every day in my good work,
let your holy name say again!
BE
Sunny days
You came again!
You are a balm to our soul.
In an otherwise world of grey,
You bring colour.
In a world of coldness,
You bring warmth.
In a world of silence,
You bring sounds.
In a world of loneliness,
You bring togetherness.
In a world of uncertainty,
You bring peacefulness.
  
When the pandemic is at bay.
You will bring beauty to another day.
Thank you for staying around!
your words sway in me
as in a hammock between two trees
embracing their roots
far away from the eyes of the world,
the leaves fluttering in the wind
like two lovers disinterested in kissing,
pale grass longing near the trunk,
waiting for the caressing rain, and me,
trembling like a rabbit at every word you say.
In the end,
I'm disappointed,
only at myself.
I settled.
I didn't believe
that I could do any better.
Mostly living in a fantasy
wishing for the fairy tale.
Cinderella in her Prince,
but the prince wasn't quite a prince
only a bullfrog
who ended only croaking.
I wanted the happy ending,
but I was sadly disappointed
there wasn't any love.
Not a single
bone in his body
had an ounce
of
love.

I miss the waves
I miss the sea
I miss the laughter
that came from thee

Another year passeth we
albeit strange, and slowly

I loved thee from nigh
I loved thee from far
only to part with thyself
a part of me to keep thee warm
Well, I tried
I am awake love
watching you
dream between
the soft moments
you are deity
to me
my naked shrine of glory
I have sent you
a dozen kisses on
your way to
the moon
so dream sweet
my love
until I return to
greet you in
the dearest
slumber...
