Love or Lust
The drought kills the thirst
Harvest is a rarity
Dry winds dance in skin deep heat
Leaves abandon trees
Grounds crack in branches
I walk in pain
As needles climb up my feet
My lungs shiver of dryness
My heart pumps like a drum beat
Somewhere under the canopy
Of the velvet sky
A woman in tan
Waving to me
To join her party
Dig and cover
A gravely game
Insecurity permissible
Immaturity formidable
When you incline
Rose isn’t dead yet

Heath Ledger In Loving Memory
22nd of January 2008
Tuesday afternoon
Soho, New York
Heath Ledger was 28
Found dead
At the foot of his bed
From Perth to Sydney
From Sydney to Hollywood
You was extremely inspirational to many
Acting with a great aplomb and too good
To be true
That you were gone
Sweat it beautifully
Becomes part of the Patriot
Crossed over the continent
And right to Brokeback Mountain
For some, it’s just hurt

Heaven Can Wait
Zephyr emasculates mind fermented
Gem shimmers in you…
Gamma lantern blue
Hanging tough
Queen Mary’s chandelier……your stare
Glossing into my spines………..am paralyzed
Clouds of Reykjavik graying
Showers of Alpine ices, cooling…
Heart of me growing
Inching….
The days
I crawl to you…………on upper limbs
Safari’s wilderness clogging
Soul of me
What a life………..
You annexed my inner territory
Routing my defensive ………..seamless
Don’t ignore me
Even a glance
Baby you…come over here

Words
Words don’t come easy
Cherished love blossoming
And singing to the rhythm
Of the Queen Bee
In the solitude of misty morning
Sunshine is crisped and baking
Loafs of grandmother’s recipes
Beauty of the moon’s eclipsed
Was overshadowed by gravely
Crucifying of the Saint of the new world
The unforsaken nails will bleed you
To death
Words are exsanguinations
Words are sharp as the sword of Lucifer
Craving for anatomical slicing
Inches by inches
Until you giggle for mercy
Crying out loud you shouldn’t

Is this love?
Fading through the unknown
Winds alighting
From night till morning
Grueling intimacy breaks the silence dawn
That sky on top is the eyes
Secluded for a moment
Of anything whispering
From rag to riches
That’s our love of premiership
Needs to need
Begs to bargain
That’s our crave
No hold barred
How do I love you?
You want the big O
I want it too
Regular or impromptu
Classic or manic
Samson and Delilah
Is history

From My Heart
My sweet heart seeks refuge
Knitting to your affirmer wools
Escalates desire so profuse
Licking up your morning drools
Whispers of breezy words
Arouse your wants and needs
Easing all the nerds
Pleasing all your pleads
Eye to eye we pledge
The world is not enough
Our feels a rage
The craving so tough
“Dear” and “Darling”
Echoed with sweet serenade
Were they worth a calling?
Or just to contemplate

Stop Killing Your Own
Twinkling stars reflection
On the blue ocean
Have become the nuts and bolts
Of vessels plying their way to destination
Bright colorful lightning
Unwittingly exhaling
The breath of infinite horizon
Giving a sensible life to boredom
Orchestra of thunders astonishingly unleash
The music of Mozart and Beethoven
Bullying the weakened hearts to a standstill
The crews and the captain were stunned
In the middle of nowhere
They’ve witnessed the rhythm of enormous blue waters
The sparkling of bluer space above
Ransacking their minds in believing
Shouldn’t the world be as calm as these?
There’s life everywhere
The planktons and corals
And Nemos were dancing

Wisdom
The power of money moves man closer to God
You worship them
Illness is a luxury you couldn’t have missed
Wealthiest people have it too
Failure is a stepping stone to achievement
Success is like a dessert
A sweet finishing
A good leader is to lead what you could lead
The rest is history
Don’t say no when you know that the no is a yes
It could cost you a fortune
Religion is not an excuse to kill your enemy
Use them as a tool to foster friendships
Define love

Yakuza
The barking were the loudness of evils
Extreme noises swarming the pretty dawn
Shy of lights and abide
Notorious philosopher of gangland
Backdated from 17th century kabuki-mono
(Outlandish samurai called the crazy ones)
The infamous family tree
Hatamoto-yakko (servants of Shogun)
Machi-yokko (servants of town)
Tekiya (street peddlers)
Bakuto (gamblers)
Gurentai (hoodlums)
They are the nerves of Yakuza
In arms and deadly
With guts and machine guns
Embroiled with conflicts
And turmoil
In numbers they come
Dungeons and dragons

Back to the future
The year is 2285
Everyone is getting high
It’s all about high profile
To live is to die
No more prison and trial
A free world to compile
All your sins will fly
The judgment is yours to consider
Money for nothing to ponder
Distance yourself further
No retreat and no surrender
The going will get wilder
The tough will get weaker
The ozone layer became thinner
The icebergs had landed
Low lying lands became embedded
Like thrusting a knife that is jagged
Seems like most parts are flooded
