Searching for Galileo,
    the race to be first home,

In a sea of patients
    we climb the probability tree,
    walk upon the shore collecting
      memory shells,

We win the little wars,
     lose the big fight,

These windows are breathing apparatus,
     this ceiling, a blur of tungsten sky,
     rain, tears, weep,

To rest near to you,
     the technicolor sleep,
     and I died with you,

All farewells are sudden.

the wrong one
will find you in peace
and end up leaving you in pieces

only the right one
can find you in pieces
and guide you to peace

i knew you'd leave me one day soon,
so i made the most of every afternoon
i held on tight to moments we shared, trying to cherish, to show i cared

She enters the room
A notorious hornblower
Preening to no one
In particular

Dress out of fashion
But the flesh is current
It seems cleavage
Is today's calling card

The bottom line
Is flanked by dimples
And other non-essentials

Her lonely livid *****
Seek boarders
But the sign outside
Claims no vacancy

Don't give in to the hype
She's nothing special

Go home to your wife
And learn to give
More often than you get

So many parties, brands we wear ,
Stress to impress, keep up with their pace.
Networking or Socialising they say,
Deep down even we don’t know
Is that we simply feed our ego.

As the years go by
I let myself cry,  
A secret,
Now not

The taboo still holds
How many?
Alone in a room,
Let the tears flow

In my lifetime
After the age of ten,
Only three
Have witnessed,
This
Phenomenon



Songs, Boys don't cry by the Cure. Samaritans  by The Idols
Man up, sit down
Chin up, pipe down
Socks up, don't cry
Drink up, just lie
"Grow some *****," he said
"Grow some *****"

Man up, sit down
Chin up, pipe down
Socks up, don't cry
Drink up, don't whine
"Grow some *****," he said
"Grow some *****"

The mask
Of masculinity
Is a mask
A mask that's wearing me
The mask, the mask, the mask

I'm a real boy
Boy, and I cry
I like myself
And I want to try
This is why you never see your father cry
This is why you never see your father cry
This is why you never see your father

I caught my breath
chasing after another

I put my hand on my chest
to tame a raging heart

"Calm down ******"
I said

"But I'm falling"
it replied
Friday, September 27, 2024.
A video call. - a silly heart and tears.

calm seas, restless lungs

breathe it in
the mournful breath is out there

skin is numb

the words are too

holding still
hidden under the tongue

holding
hidden

one more dies before he gets there
(what did the letter say...?)

holding
hidden

what did it say...?
