THE DECADES

I am Farrah Fawcett poster on
The wall.
I am rotary phone when I made
A call.

I am, Boss, it’s the plane,
The plane.
I am Pablo Escobar and his
Cocaine.

I am Queen with Freddy Mercury
Live.
I am the Bee Gees talking that
Jive.

I am we have the technology to
Make him better.
I am Charles Manson as
Helter-Skelter.

I am vinyl, 8-tracks, cassettes
And CD's.
I am keep on trucking and
Hippies.

cover me

cover me in the richness of soul
in highest hopes, in deepest woe
in empty darkness, in heaven's glow
filled with wonder, full of hope

cover me here and now
beneath blue skies, behind the plough
over yonder, above the clouds
beyond forever, inside the sound

cover me for it is true
love is blind, love is blue
love is fine, love is new
love is master, love is you

365

I have received a key into the wilderness
A vastness where my light is concentrated
Dragging all that is bright into this oasis;
Leaving what is left dim.

The hours roll up into pairs of dozens
In turn, those compile into a somewhat clumsy heap
And should you stand in their path
They will fold you into them as well.

What noise? The Earth halts breathing
As silence suspends over the horisons
It hovers, alien to the landscape
That usually brims with cued distraction.

MY TYRANNICAL LOVER

You have been a tyrannical lover
ever since I met you as a friend
my heart bleeds in sadness
I'm now a victim of circumstance

Your sadistic nature of life
has uncloaked your foul love
I'll now keep you at arms-length
no more tangling moments

I have learnt a lesson of life
not all that glitters are gold
although you were once good
but now you're a pungent taste

MY FREESTYLE

I am the light behind a flame,
I am the king without a name,
I am different we ain't the same,
I am a star awaiting my fame.
I can paint the devil shining bright,
And wear him a mask looking nice,
I fight better with my pen than a seasoned knight,
My rhymes are too hot, hotter than ice,
I am not bragging, just trying to say,
I am a poet don't get in my way.

Defenseless innocent joys

Defenseless innocent joys

Tied ,are identical
they pierce the body
before they are born
they want want to show up to revealed
Defenseless innocent joys
which their deep traces in the soul engrave

Merchants, sell
the pure flowers, baptized
With red colors, rooted
to the tired hands of the innocent

Yesterday they were still torturing us
the years
thirsty like the lonely terrified birds
in the dense forest for stars

In My Elements

How dare you, my kid, oh how do you dare?
Aren't you -my kid, are Not you aware!
Are you really ignorant, are you!
Or arrogant enough to not care!
How dare you, my kid, Oh how do you dare?

For millions of years my kid , I've been there,
I've been watching you polluting my air.
Demeaning my elements one by one,
all that's offered, even those, that are rare.
How dare you, my kid, oh, how do you dare?

Push Me

I feel hot breath
on the back of my neck
it can only bring about your death
your steam will not speed me

your fingers in my back
only cause me to slow
as I feel you, the hack
lose bravado and crack.

so don't push me punk
best you haul ass
take your trash and "junk"
on down the road!

in younger years
I've been you
got my scars cried hot tears
learning new fears.

The blank book (January contest 2023)

three hundred and sixty five pages book
this syllable with twelve scenes
each scene with four acts at least
read with determination
though nobody knows the end
it's known only by the author

I try reading all the pages
word by word from intro-
through the appendix
version by version both the old
the more I try to catch up the words
they disappear and the faster time flies
hoping to understand the past,
present and future more
yet the result's always different

Poet True

If I had wings and poet’s skill,
a muse at hand and time to kill,
I’d scribe, for you, such noble verses
about the beauty Nature nurses
inside a bud, on bough with leaf,
where wonder is the main motif.

I’d take my pen, like Bard with quill,
pour forth a stream, sublime and still.
Place pleasant poem on the page,
a song of love that would not age,
sedate as moon or starry host,
or sea that creeps along the coast.
