Beguiled
Stone cold skinny spines are bent
A sliver of truth to easily supplant
Open eyes and occupied opulence
Obtusely judicious, all so delicious
Vocal cord vibrating the voluptuous
Listen loosely to a beguiled chorus
Shifting the shady out of shadows
A man feeding within his own flock
Words as whispers in wait wander
Drawn in by depressions and dips
Another girl is taken by his elation
Empathy as idolatry, if only isolated
Yes, you are the sir so willing to imply
And so she will be the soul ensla...

So Goes Friday
The lights and this big love
Buried between dreams and lust
Imagination like the harmony
Banging against my wishes
Promising her pilfered affection
Knock the lamp over
Leave the pieces for later
And so goes Friday

Heyday
“Never look back”, they say with gusto
Unless you’re taking notes
For what’s ahead
There was no heyday
Nothing better, just old
The same desperation
Identical sour notes
“Look ahead”, they assure us
Though it’s invisible
Just your fiction outlined
There is no heyday
Nothing better, just more
The same shade of hope
New instruments, same notes

The Memory
As if he loses his sense
An open mouth becomes
Becomes the crime
The invincible tongue
He always remembers
Lover turned intruder
Her prince, the usurper
And so his sense returns
Closed mouth humming
Humming the apologies
Culling no formality
Running to the remedy
Embracing his reality

My Curiosity of Love
Would you know if it was really love?
How would you make it last?
Will it bloom over a few days?
Is it going to wilt?
Will it be a flower?
Will it be the bush?
Do you need it?
Will you still be lonely in love?
Can another complete you?
I am curious. To see such a frantic search for a thing that happens by accident but stays by sacrifice makes me wonder. It must have become like food; something we must have in order to live. Love will never be such. You may find it in your search, and you may...

Sir, The Businessman
Me: Excuse me, sir, you’re on fire.
Sir: My dream is to be very rich. Since I don’t wantto pay people, I’m going to do it all by myself.
Me: But you’re on fire.
Sir: Fuck it, I’m going to do it myself, unless you got some free time.
Me: But I already gave you all of my free time, and you are on fire.
Sir: My reputation…
Me: …
Sir: I’ll be rich and all the haters will be like, damn he’s rich.
Me: Shall I call a fire squad?
Sir: You got any free time?

Light Shines
I see the shadow drifting aside. I feel the people standing next to me that I haven’t seen for so long. I almost forgot they were here with me. The shadow grew so tall that everything else paled in its darkness. It is sliding, gliding aside.
I fed the shadow to save it. I gave it every kind of energy I have to give, only to watch it overcome my gifts to you. My creations withered without daylight, petals dropped from lack of sunshine, roots became stringy and then dormant. I traded my life f...

Storyteller
Staring the thing won’t make it real
Stealing her goods won’t make it heal
Honesty played out can’t close the deal
Dreaming won’t bring down the cost
Dragging her in won’t get you across
That forked tongue of yours got you lost
Quit standing with your mouth agape
Implicating her in your botched escape
Words bent in your unnatural shape
