Silver Platter of Wishes

I dine upon the Silver Platter—
Where Wishes form my Fare—
The Reflection—how it Paineth—
Yet I whisper—“I am Stronger—
Than the Life that Stings and Tears—”
But still—the Hurt—Remains.

I seek to leave this Wayward Path—
Yet Answers—multitudinous—
Rise against the Bitter Life—
And my Tears—they betray—
So I linger—where the Silence
Holds me close—where I may Lie.

My Soul—a Faint—fragile Thing—
Once it danced ‘neath Azure Skies—
Now Shadows claim my Being—
And what—pray tell—have I become?
A Needle’s Thread—devouring—
Tearing Holes in what was Whole.

Yet still—I cry—I am More—
Than the Weakness I behold—
I was More—before the Fall—
And now—what I Become—
Is the softest Kiss of Weakness—
Yet I Love—oh how I Love—
You—Life—and You—
We are All—of Life.

And I shall not let you down—
I will make you Love—
What I was—and Am—

IN THE EMPIRE OF ANTENNAE (Corporate Babel)

if i could be an ant
slipping through the cracks of time
unseen by the omnipotent eyes—
the boss, a colossus with soles of lead,
crushes with the weight of the universe.
authority, a dark star,
sucking the light from the void.
we are a symphony of dissent,
pushing the tyrant out the window of reason.
in the labyrinth of corporate Babel,
we ignite the parchment,
scribing new laws in the ink of love.
and i love you,
lost in the fractals of bureaucracy,
where the smile becomes a revolution.
no need for titans on stilts,
an insect swarm, a cosmic dance,
devouring the lesser beasts—
and bosses, mere shadows,
microscopic phalluses in the tragic chorus
of ancient Greece.
AND FUCK YOU!
AND WOMEN with crowns?
Ah, but that’s another tale!

UNBORN WORDS

My words are children—born complete—
Or wanting—limbs—or Hearts—
Unyielding—though the form may lack—
Their Life—by Art—imparted—

A Soul’s embrace—a Painter’s hand—
Or Poem’s—whispered Breath—
Each speaks—unto the Giver—
Dances in the Shadow’s path—

They Echo—through the empty Hall—
In every silent Room—
Each syllable—a living pulse—
A Language to the Tomb—

FloWer UpON FloWer

In the pale moon’s whisper, I met a maiden fair,
Her name, a secret—call her Jenny, if you dare.
She was of passion’s fever, a tempest wild and free,
And in the hush of midnight, she beckoned unto me.

In a quiet chamber, by the candle’s gentle gleam,
She held a book of pages, where dreams dance and scheme.
“Would you, Ma’am, waste a moment, in the shadowed, velvet night?”
Her gaze, a flame of longing, did set my soul alight.

She led me to her castle, where all was soft and dim,
The air was thick with silence, as we danced on the whim.
She whispered, “Sign here, dearest, where the ink meets the soul,”
And then, the world did shudder, as she claimed her tender toll.

Oh, Jenny, sweet Jenny, your kiss a burning brand,
In the spinning world of rapture, I was lost to your command.
What she did, I cannot utter, for words would surely fail,
But my heart, forever altered, now sings a different tale.

When dawn’s tender fingers brushed the sky with rosy hue,
I woke to find her vanished, the night wind cold and true.
But on the stair, a promise, writ in haste and fire’s ink,
“Call me when the night is dark, and you’re yearning on the brink.”

Oh, Jenny, dearest Jenny, return to me once more,
For the dance we started in the night is now a craving sore.
But the Lord, He watches over, and soon His light will shine,
Yet in this fleeting moment, I would have you, still, be mine.

I am Forever In Debt

How you walk alone in rain clouds
smothering skies
Dressed blue fringes brown mud bare feet
and brilliant eye tears not from nature
but from Love broken i was taught as child
love is a small thing with big eyes
So lost in your big eyes bleeding cancer in mind

oh say:

In the quiet storm of your solitude, the rain clouds hang heavy
like unspoken dreams, draping the world in a veil of melancholic haze.
You tread the earth, bare feet sinking into the wet embrace of mud,
as if the world itself mourns with you, absorbing your every step,
every tear that falls from eyes too brilliant for this dim reality.

The fringes of your being, once adorned in the delicate blue of innocence,
now flutter like forgotten memories in the wind, frayed by the passage of time
and the weight of unfulfilled promises. The tears you shed, they do not belong to
nature—they are the essence of a heart broken by the purest force known to man:
Love.

A force that, as a child, was taught to you as something small, yet with eyes so vast they could swallow the universe.

And now, in the cavernous depths of your mind, those eyes have become a cancer,
an all-consuming void that devours every thought, every emotion, until nothing remains
but the echo of your own despair. You walk alone, not just in the world, but in the very fabric of existence,
lost in the labyrinth of your own making, where love is both the light that guides and the shadow that blinds.

As you drift through the mist of your memories, the world around you warps and bends, reshaping itself into a landscape that mirrors the turmoil within. Trees twist into grotesque forms, their branches reaching out like the skeletal fingers of forgotten hopes, while the ground beneath you pulses with the heartbeat of the earth, alive with the sorrow that has seeped into its core. Each step you take is a dance with the past, a delicate waltz with the ghosts of what once was, their whispers curling around you like smoke, filling your lungs with the bitter taste of regret.

The sky, once a canvas of endless possibilities, now hangs heavy with the weight of lost dreams, its colors bleeding into one another like tears on a page. The rain that falls is no longer water, but a torrent of shattered illusions, each drop a fragment of a future that will never come to pass. You raise your eyes to the heavens, searching for solace, but find only the reflection of your own despair staring back at you, mocking the hope you once held so dear.

In this surreal world of your creation, you are both the artist and the masterpiece, the creator of your own torment, painting with the hues of heartbreak and the brushstrokes of loneliness, lost in a world where love has become a distant memory, a faint echo in the chambers of a forgotten heart.

Orchids of smiles dying in your highness sigh.

WHISPERS OF LOVE ACROSS SEAS

My sweet flower born from a precious sun
My sweet woman

I declare to all tallest mountains
the beauty of love

That all mankind feels when falling in love
you are the one my dear — the seed of passion

Oh, tonight the winds are singing across seas
ships who have sailed afar carry within sails
your words of whsipering adorn within sailor’s
hearts and tears of joy

In the deep folds of the earth
where shadows weave,

Your presence blooms like a hidden sun,
Illuminating the silence of the night,

A beacon where my heart, lost, is found.
In dreams, I drift among your celestial whispers,

Where every murmur becomes a symphony,
In your gaze, the cosmos stirs,
Two souls entwined, a dance of the eternal.

Under the moon’s caress, our hearts merge,
As rivers murmur tales of our unity,
Your voice, a hymn of ancient stars,
Flows through the fabric of time, tender and unyielding.

Let each sunrise and sunset echo our passion,
A love that traverses the bounds of days,
Where every tempest and calm we conquer,
Bound by a love that defies even the universe’s rhyme

WHISPERS OF THE UNSEEN THE UNLOVED

WHETHER we speak or scribble (or merely glance)

we are always unseen. what we are
cannot be bound by book or word’s dance
our soul remains infinitely afar

What does Life care?

We are the lonely People

though we give our thoughts wings, let them soar
to be our soul, to dance in the broad,
our hearts remain incommunicable (more)
in what we reveal, we are ignored

We struggle living a life
remembering nothing of the sermon
we bowed to while being born

the chasm from soul to soul cannot be crossed
by thought’s finesse or seeming’s disguise
unto ourselves we are forever lost
when we attempt to voice our inner skies

we are but dreams of ourselves, souls by gleam,
and each to each, but dreams of others’ dreams.

SO YOU’VE TOUCHED MY HEART

Upon this path, clear as the sun’s own flower,
I tread the lanes, through day and dusky hour.
Eyes wide, I wander, gaze cast left and right,
And oftentimes I glance back, at the sight
Of what lies there—each moment’s new reveal,
A marvel yet unseen, a truth I feel.
This constant birth of wonder, this delight,
Grants me the joy of childhood’s pure insight,
As if a babe, whose birth is just begun,
Aware that life’s first breath has truly come.

In every instant, I am newly born,
To greet the world, afresh with each new morn.
For in the world’s eternal novelty,
I find a source of ceaseless gaiety.

I trust the world as does a marigold,
For what I see is true, and pure, and bold.
But thoughts, they cloud, and burden weary eyes,
The world was not for musing, nor for sighs.
To think is to invite a subtle pain,
But gazing, we find solace, not disdain.

No grand philosophy do I possess,
But senses keen, to nature I confess.
Not for the knowing do I speak her name,
But for the love she grants, without acclaim.
For love, in truth, knows not the reasons why,
Nor understands the wherefore of its sigh.

Love is a child, innocent and pure,
And innocence, in thought, can scarce endure.

dysmetropsia

THERE must be a feeling
that feels real
SOMETIMES sadness
is a purple color
at times sometimes
i’m surreal ~~ wondering
why i’m alive / don’t forget
where i’m at : never forget
where I am at : painting,
writing, playing guitar,
eating strawberries,
growing deep inside
forgetting time | Relativity,
never forgetting Time
it’s like the moon \ falls
around me / it’s like you
desert ring _
loving you.
