A Dim Flying Dust

There
A dim flying dust
The inhabitant
Of a place called solitude
In the back
Where it is
But invisible
And I confess
To an amorous error
And the moment I do...
Suddenly
It is flown away...
O Lord! help me please...!

To The Woman In The Shadow

If it ceases to be yours
When you cease to be you
Then what is yours
And who are you
To tell me where to go
Or where I cannot sleep
Or what you own?
Sorry so-called love,
Try the next guy...

Waiting

Muse of exhibitions
Harp on inhibitions
Play your screeching lire
Hen-pecking chanticleer...

Not full circle come round
To my suitor yet band
Rings on fingers and phones
Pursue with mocking tones...

I Wanted A Star To Fall By Your Side

I wanted a star
To fall by your side
And not to rotate
See its downfall
Then you will rise again...
o my dear, you were once
My only happiness
Now whose sadness
You will become again? ...
Everything was
Just a game...

One Who Closes His Eyes In Prayer

One who closes his eyes in prayer
Closes his eyes not to see
Not to see the other side
The dark side of the supplication
If it be a disgrace
In the eyes of the Court
Which will pass judgment
On you one day...

Still

I still hear my heart
Beating loudly like drums
Calling you at every instant
Searching for you
From place to place
Lost in time and shadow
Traveling through
A never-ending path
That leads to nowhere...

A Pure Fact

There's a contradiction
In wanting to be understood
And finding no explanation
Worthy of the question...

Allusion is not evasion
But a hint to discovery
Revealing broader perception
Than still definition...

Allusion

There is a contradiction
In wanting to be understood
And finding no explanation
Worthy of the question...

Allusion is not evasion
But a hint to discovery
Revealing broader perception
Than stiff definition....

Fear Of Flying

The bird that flew so fast
It could not see the path
And was carried off in flight
Leaving the wind far behind...

So far above the course
It traveled with such haste
That fear stopped the flapping
And it came crashing down, down...

As A Poet I Have Discovered

There's a contradiction
In wanting to be understood
And finding no explanation
Worthy of the question...

Illusion is not evasion
But a hint to discovery
Revealing broader perception
Than stiff definition....
Simple observation
That may help my recovery...
