EPIPHANY

And my head collides with the pavement
Black curtains crawl down on me
Am I dead?

Dreams…
It was no surprise
That violence could overtake us there
We can soar high and beyond
with no compromise
No other friend but fear
The choice ought to be clear..
Gunfire..prayer!

Fantasy…
World of the young
I am there and voiceless
My world is silence
World of skeletons
Trapped and confused
There is so much to fool about–
Close the book, get out!

Truth…
Where are we going
Witness a sadist grieving
A bloody notebook of my bestfriend
To think that a rainbow leads to nowhere
For either we are clay in the hands of the Maker
Or a dynamite in the grip of a thrill-seeker–
Certainty exists!

Illusion…
These are dreams for a moment
A magnificent idea offering great hopes
Like a cave following a rope
it is the same tale of horror
That ghost of a man in your mirror
You can see through and he can’t hide–
A crystal pride!

I had a serious head-on collision
White…seems to be floating in the clouds
Am I alive?

VAINGLORY

Who can count the stars?
Neither you and I
I keep my pace to one direction
Where the sun kisses my face
Wear a smile on my lips
And my heart will take me higher…

There are times when stupor visits me
I’m afraid it’s back for good
Sometimes ideas become so stagnant and impure
I’m scared they’ll never be understood.

Who can stretch time?
Neither you and I
I stand still and appear so stupid
My feet sank, cold, and dead
I smell this heavenly scent nearby
Of garbage round the bend.

When your sweetheart is a timebomb
Peacefully you sleep
When the timing device ticks on
Ticking on to seconds
You wake up!
You say:
"Sweet suicide!"
The ticking device ticks on
To zero–EXPLOSION.

There are times I believe
I wished them false and deceived
There are times I object
I wished them true and corrected.

Falling when you’re high
And my blood is getting dry
Who can shield my eyes and boast vainglory?
Neither you and I…

SECRETS

The carousel is on
Goes round and round
the surface..
Smooth and smoother
the surface..
Sick and sicker
the secrets.

Capes and hoods alike
Roaming, they hide
Smiling a frown
Frowning a smile
Drowning a shout
Like hell!!
We hide, we cover
so different altogether.

The carousel is on
Goes round and round
the surface.
Fast and faster
the surface.
Wild and wilder
the secrets.

Now look and see
All eyes down
There are more thorns
The only rose formed
Eatenby a worm
Picturing hell!
Swimming deep in coals
To warm a heart, so cold.

The carousel is on
Goes round and round
the surface
I can’t see them riding
I’ next in line
Clasping
My secrets.
