Sometimes I want my feelings to have temporary amnesia—
for me to forget, on a small plea from the clock,
that they’re tangible, real,
and intertwined into my senses.
I want to be innocent and ignorant of my life for a while,
to be another person in the same body
but not trapped, not bound by the strings
in my bones I forgot I put there.
I want to be free in the sense I make of the word;
utterly adrift in the embrace of the wind
like tinder kissed by fire, made strong
by every breath.
I want these things,
want and want and want them
for the days I feel like climbing on a cloud
and disappearing, to travel the world
and the gal
Dread has always been honest.
It holds your hand and helps you cross the road
Slowly enough for a car to run you over
While you believe its for the best.
Dread has always been your friend.
It offers you a large room with no hole,
To roam freely while it asphyxiates you with gas.
But your heart it will mend.
Dread has always loved you.
Ready with a glass of sweet poison
Whenever you are thirsty.
Love like that only a few knew.
Give it your all, let it save you.
Sit down and think.
Beautified sadness is but momentary.
Denial will abandon you soon.
The Lost Village
I.
In the heartwood of the old forest
Between Hungary and Romania,
In the fabled and supposedly haunted hills
That travelers call Transylvania,
There, far from all discerning eyes,
A nameless and forgotten village lies.
II.
It has stood nameless for centuries;
Those who heard of't ne'er went so far
To wander its roads and by-lanes,
Whether by night or by day.
Thus, far from all discerning eyes,
That nameless village forgotten lies.
III.
But they who passed the village by
Have reported to have heard
A wailing sound or a forlorn cry;
Or,perchance, a few unhappy words.
They claim that, at a certain hour,
A voice uttered that so
You can’t force a novel out of someone
who’s a short story.
And yes,
everyone’s a book in their own right;
with chapters and page-breaks
and covers-
the latter most of all.
That’s why he couldn’t stay.
He had pages to write and others to read.
And he’s read you to the last punctuation,
the last hurrah,
and he got bored.
So he opened other spines
and slept in their papery scents,
with you no more than an afterthought,
the past to the present.
He wasn’t your prince charming,
or your knight,
or your childhood best friend
who falls in love with you,
he was a passing breath,
a momentary pulse
I’ll never admit it, I won’t.
“You’re lonely, aren’t you?”
I’ll never confess it, I won’t.
“You’re bitter, aren’t you?”
I’ll never confide it, I won’t.
“You grew up too fast, didn’t you?”
I’ll never disclose it, I won’t.
“You don’t love yourself, do you?”
I’ll never admit it, I won’t.
“You’ve forgotten what hope is, haven’t you?”
I’ll cut my tongue out before I admit anything.
Havana ebbs and flows
Through a transient dream
An impossible and roving gem
Glimmering in the surf
Its streets lit aflame
With wondering
And wandering hearts
And minds
Havana
The impossible tale
Consumed and dismissed
And conquered
By the might of its time
Once.
I once wished to be a hero'
graceful and just, helping those in need..
oppressed be freed.
i once wished to be a leader of a nation, and take in all the orphans of the world'
but when men gather so does disaster, famine and hunger'
and so an eater of weaker is born.
i once wished to be a monster with no remorse, to hold my grudges and stain the walls
stalk my prey day by day..
but i stumble over my damn heart every day..
i once wished to be a demon with no soul
so i wouldn't feel lost and alone..
a demon with no goal
all i did was pilling up more coal..
i once wished to die, cut myself in twine
my wrist open crimson gushing from

My life is a ship leaving harbor;
A new port may be far from sight.
Sailing slowly, carefully through the waves;
Sailing,sailing day and night.
Sailing ships need a breeze in their sails,
To carry them ahead.
That, I have most certainly;
And there is the soft glow of moonlight.
Her tender sighs drive me forth;
Her face shines as my moon.
Leading me forward through the day.
And back to the shelter of my room.
