Time table

So many drums to beat

so much funs to catch

so little time to bleat

so many bolts to latch

loads of ideas flurry in my brain

so little time to feast on its rain

Tell me more

Listen to our pleas

said anguished hearts

tell us

of the time of the ages

when men were children to their sons

and everyone was mad with the Sun

when the earth was full of mischief

and everybody claimed to be chief

tell us

of the happenings of old!

our tender heart seeks knowledge

The Conscience Prayer

Free your thoughts,

Your innovations become unstoppable

Trade your heart,

Money becomes your chi

Let me not to a depraved mind acquiesce

The depth of its pit I desire to know not!

IMPERFECTION

He aimed at the stars like Ares

bent on shielding off the sun

unfocused, he missed the skies

his arrows went unattended

like the willful son of a bastard father

fettered in penury by a whore

she comes from the depth of loneliness

where she is hurt by the tongue of her fair one

crying to the heavens in blankness

no one was there to oil her glory

TO THE CHILD BRIDE

YOU WILL NOT SEE ME COME!

MY SCENTS YOU WILL NOT SNIFF!

THE THOUGHTS OF MY MIND YOU WILL NOT READ!

NEVER WILL YOU CATCH THE WAVE OF MY DRIFT!

Through hazy days in your scary maze

I have suffered you in your crazy craze

I died in the flurry of your maids

Servants tied me to drown with no trace

I need not describe to you my face

You were there, cunningly amazed

Dozen Haikus to Nature

I

fleet a way the heat

soak, pant the roof so loud ly

mix with dry tears

II

sashay the thin trees

ruffle from root to green hair

chase, whirl in splen dor

III

sizzling the raw meat

glow bright to the sense to smell

jumping from roof to wall
