dreamstate

eyes wide shut
with the tip of my heart
pointing at you

my fingers drawing
the shape of your breasts
in the thin air after midnight

dreaming
what we had
and where we go

another
puzzle
in this crazy world


all that and one

all that
I want to
I have to
I desire to

I will
immediately
without delay
put on my
list of confusion
agenda of torture

gaze into
songs
and
poems
and
gifts
and
beauty

forget about
the days
of slavery
and heal
the wounds

and always
always
think
two words
after I

 


cats

oh, and of course it is raining cats and dogs

harsh cold raindrops
late autumn rain
Southland winter rain
with winds
that no horses could escape
cold, cold
thoughts
minds frozen
winter feelings

watching
your naked body
far away
blossoming into the sun
and hoping
for another summer
where love
and kisses
grow

 


poem to the new

and no
no
it is not dark
there is this shimmer
lights
on the snow
mirroring
what was
and what
is coming
and telling
stories
of this life
and others
and
yes
says it
and
yes

 


stronger than the world

and poems are written to people
who believe
or start believing
or believe
they never can believe
and who stand still
in fear and anger
and who seem
to be waiting
without a reason
and who stare
black-eyed in the dark
and yes
these poems
are written
and they are stronger
than the world

 


True Words

What if
a word was true
as true as a feeling
that I can’t name

what if
a smile was true
the smile
that invited you
to say yes
to forever
and a day

what if
a lie was true
in my mouth
that can’t chew
and swallow
and twist
the truth anymore

what if
a curse was true
and we found
another embracing
like reptiles
in sweaty nights

what if
the truth
had so many
faces
that we
called it
a lie
