pressure makes diamonds
but humans are too delicate
their fragile hearts easily shaken
if you put too much pressure
they'll only end up

Mortal and  aware
The pigeon
Fought for its dear life
And perished
Left angel wings, grey, to the earth
In hopes to be welcomed at heaven’s door
Beauty in death defined
Where oleanders bloom through dusk  
And fall on the pavement grey
A salute to the first light
Where colours merge and separate in the sky
The early bird sings to the glory of the dawn
And prays for a meaty prey
Five Zero Two Bad Gateway
Grew into a daily incidence
A bad fate for poet, anyway
A call for an urgent diligence
The first moment I wrote
I took fate by the throat
steal a TV
they’ll call you a burglar
rob a bank
they’ll call you a robber
rip off big, so big,
i mean, enron big
lehman brothers big
big as a.i.g. for instance
they’ll call you corporate america
instead of naming a penance
or giving you the deserved sentence
they’ll further compensate
with an unprecedented rebate
i won’t get a chance to complain
it’s your game and this is your domain
As the rising morning sun
shines its immaculate rays
on a field of sunflowers
these flowers , they awaken
from their nocturnal slumber
and ever so slowly
they spread their petals
and gaze upon the Sun

For in the Sun
they found an eternal source
of life , hope and warmth
And just like the Sun
will my soul tirelessly
shine upon hers forever
giving life , love and warmth
to this Sunflower , deeply rooted
within the crevices of my heart
