A bottle of wings and other things

Who will brave us when they save us?
We have the beauty of the flowers in case everything else sours.
The cockroach would surely sing if it was made of other things.

In the room the women come and go, don't ask them why 'cause they don't know.
My love is like a redred rose that's drowned beneath the garden hose.
Things out of season in a garden become like reason and start to harden.
What is this life if full of care we have nothing to eat or wear.

A silverfish in a silver dish.
Behold the long and short of it--sometimes jasmines smell like shit.

For now the way is very clear for measuring the atmosphere.
Shells and ships travel in clips and crash against our fingertips.

When I die, don't bury me, just throw me in the sky and see if I can fly.

A poet is like a jar that has gone too far.
Honeybees are full of fleas.

What is it about the sun that makes it burn for everyone?
Beneath the yawning velvet bee the village smithy broke its knee.
Crumbly is as crumbly does to forget about what crumbly was.


The wake up call

To meditate, or levitate
Growth towards death
Life and its wreath
Pain and the painless
Heart and happiness
Weaklings or weak-links
Either ways it sways not any longer
I aim to be stronger, I am to be stronger.  

Life and everything else

Life's a mess, a little crass.
you could have been You, amongst the few.
You missed a chance, but that's my stance.
Now or never, a lifetime of favor.
Do or die, but never cry.

The heart's only hurt, from what looks like a small spurt.
This time, I let emotions flow for a little longer,
Only to awaken the mind and to make it stronger.
I slept through this season,
And learnt that everything happens for a reason.
