While most other birds sing a duet,

Or with a chorus hidden up in a tree,

There's a little bird that sings loud and proud, 

Alone, but in harmony.  

This little bird sings outside my window,

While the rest of the birds are asleep. 

This little bird sings with depth and conviction,

While others can only dream.

Where does it find the courage 

To stand alone and sing?

an epitaph
covered in overgrown grass
numbers and a letter encrypted,
written to the deceased,
for only those who knew him
you’d truly understand

the plumes of a caldera,
and the dark clouds,
sun overshadowed,
at its core a scalding heat turned colder
because of similarities
shared this simile
for the changing of seasons, anew

he wouldn’t let us leave
without paying,
for our meal

had to-go

then bantered with them
and, you ordered to make him take it back

the whole ordeal was a real headache,
I could feel tension in the temple,
and had to meditate, to
clear my head and relieve the stress

I wanted to post a pic of my meal,
but it was almost traumatic

Maybe, I’m just being over dramatic?

Make a painting with sweats,

And resins from plants ;sweets,

Bitters and thoughtful meets

To form its themes,

Weaved lining of lines,

Hardly the Magnum opus; it might,

But to feed it's beauty to flames,

Just to escape cold,

 And warm hands!

Am I a meaningful painting

Or just a plaything

Lying like a firewood

With no good,

 Isn't it you behind this, o almighty...

had me my hand me downs
and, we all know too well known
if the shoe fits wear it

nicest stuff is worn out and she wore my XXL shirt around the house
her chores, get done…
one bra in the wash and no panties on

The first steps
commemorated with expensive shoes,
soles being broken in,
a mash of burning glass,
molten sand and in it,

You have to thank, be able to thank,

For every day and every ray of the Sun.

Talk about important things and frank!

Don't ever think about using the gun.

You should be grateful for what you have.

You should thank God who gave you love.

You'll learn to live without war and grief.

You'll find out that the war is a thief.

To thank. Is it an ability or a gif...

God’s Gift to Us.

They say the world is God's gift to us.

And foolishly in our hands he trusts.

Can he not see as the world turns round.

We are destroying it and raising it to the ground.

Nature's beauty vanishing.

Dictators increasingly demanding.

Wars increasing.

Humanity decreasing.

Blood freely flowing.

Poverty ever growing.

Egos need for filling.

Don't trust the sweet words of a stranger

If you don't want to get into the danger.

Sweet words may raise you to the clouds,

But you better run away without doubts.

And having bitten into your trust like a snake,

He will be wrapped in a trustworthy fake.

And then right on your field of fight,

He will try to prove that he is right.

Neither the darkness no...

God presented me with a gift,

I looked at it and was surprised.

This item I couldn't manage to lift

Before I could anything realize.

Early in the morning, I made my plans.

But vanity decided to break intention.

My hopes went away with the vans.

And the prices they didn't mention.

I was quick at twenty, thirty, and so on.

in talks —about the past
around the campfire

you could cut the tension with a knife

the only thing needed is a good sense of humor

And,

marching—
side by side
do you trust that man with your life?
willing to take a bullet for them?
behind every great man is a great woman…

You are my celebration,

stamped with a pair of pressed lips
licked,
then sealed with a kiss

the silent observer.
waiting for his moment
with the present

trying quietly not to mouth breathe aloud
smothered in your undergarments

while fire from the two flames
arose
on a magic candle
over and over

like a brazier come undone
