Stand in the middle of a busy road
There, you'll see a world within a world
Untold legends of differing ages
Passive strangers that could've been your life.

My eyes were hurt in the shades they've got
Can't see their scars, can't see their blood.
Then it rained, and they were gone
They save themselves by fading out
(............)

But I was there, dripping wet
Lose my chance of knowing them.
I was thinking of simply asking them:
"How're you? ... see you then."

The sky keeps roaring in victory,
But NO, I smiled in glory.
"How're you, sky?"
and so, it stopped...
(tck... tck... tck...)

Wake up, get real!
World is a stage
so,
put on your daily act.
Why, are you sad?
Use my makeup,
you can't look bad.
Drink coffee.
Now, SMILE.

the blur of back then
old haunt of mine
immanent
keeps me in my place
feeds me images
a fate grim

it ceases
little
pill that poisons still

specter
black nectar sweet **** bloom
mouths its charms of harm with
a flick-a-the wrist

take this life
and cut your risks
watch consequence bleed


it feeds

doer of no things
charred holes in
memory

maybe i am
not blood and bone
but props to mold

yet

footsteps
push through it
somehow

walker of me
footsteps not my own
pushes through hard times
concrete wave after wave
the ebb
usurping the flow

the haunt the haunt

you're nothing
you're nobody
you are history


and then

a break
a clearing in the brood

creature
beast of burden
shone

pigeon
humble beginning
of unlikely starry constellation
leading me to

girl in the park
that took the clench
inside my chest
spreading its five wings

spell no more
white-knuckled hell flush again

lifted
space provided
winged

stone turned over
inner-whorl from bud sprung
i have my feet under me

memory
of you walking me through it
hand in wing

Weekday

look harder
in the afternoon
there were
morning falls
tied lines
and now
a weary boxer
wants to punch
the air
seeking solace
in clouds
deep pools
water caressing
muscles full
of the day
as we float
on a porous
skin

Dance with me
Spin me around
Breath into me
And lift me from the ground

Fill me with hope
And allow me to grow
A sweet gentle breeze
Through you I flow

Me burning hot
Dancing on wood
Flickering tongues
I burnt what I could

You gentle and soft
A whisper on wind
Keeping me alive
Giving me oxygen

Twirl around me
Spin me with grace
Feed my warm glow
And light up the earths face

From one little spark
An inferno am I
Blackening the wood
And reaching for the sky

Dance with a grace
But don't steal the show
Dance just to fast
And my flame will burn low

My fate in your hands
To grow or to die
To turn into dust
Or to reach for the sky

Last Words

Sa
Her last words
preserved in his empty heart,
like ashes kept in an urn-
to remember the times
when she is not
and
the time
when they were.
