Metal against metal
Causing a terrible friction.
People mashing down on the pedal.
They don’t have any conviction.
Wood and bricks and chiming bells-
It’s not all music to my ears.
Breakfast’ s cooking, wafting smells,
Honks of horns, am I the only one who hears?
I’ve tried to get some sleep,
Only to toss and turn.
Someone’s going beep-beep,
For some quietness, my heart does yearn.
some of us have
seconds, minutes
hours, days
weeks, months
others years
to figure out
what the hell
life’s about
but so few do
for heaven’s sake
consider me
how about you

She emerged winged-foot from the sky
Like an angel in Apollo’s shadow
Fathers from the heavens fingers
Announce with thunderbolts and lightning
Messages drift above to form shapes
In different layers of colored clouds
Lands on a mountain cap with harp
Notes cut like ribbons to reveal
Distance between the long still islands
In the stoke of beating heart and rhythm
Held my hand like feathers falling
Fell through her like warmth reclaimed
Up ahead rotating pastures play
Scenes of tall castles golden shine
Strong winds unfold the darkness away
Where loneliness once walked freely
Transforms into along with her eyes
Only sunshine regardless of the hour

for in dejection
and in hopeless render
on a shaky bastion
I’d write me a letter
two months and more than three
my reality, thine rosy thorn
down, in spiral, can thy see
in impression, was I forlorn
for now, I lay, curled, asleep
tumble dreading, in slippery slope
dreaming, hoping, I can leap
away, toward, in hint of hope
a number of moons, I’d count
a fortnight of five periods in rain
inklings of miseries, oh they mount
blot like ink, tattooed like pain
conquered even the hopefuls
a stretched out, foreboding reality
this land, roamed, by deceitful
now, a broken heart, have I thee
wish I may, the months, I’d skip
else, force embraced all dread
if I could only, through time, I’d leap
towards the time I’ve already med
not one person, would like to be
in the clutch of a weary heart
in wish, leap the future and see
jump in time, for anew, a start
I failed to break the ribbon.
Panting and falling into alien arms.
What was won before
suddenly lost.
Fallen angels know the pain of earth
when they tried to outrun
the storms.
Words of a moment,
Of stories that last a fleeting thought.
Youth a moment,
Fleeting rain driven,
By winds reminiscent,
Shall last for ever.
Words, a legacy,
Faces, a faded memory,
A moment’s tryst,
A lifetime of memories…
knew had chance
name of new zine
rejection
don’t like things
that spin
removed from earth
timber area
internet usage triples
it’s login season
super computer
lightning fast and powerful
cape could be better
train station nary
locomotives on steel tracks
never seem to move
new pro football team
doubt they go to super bowl
they pick the name punts
strike long metal blade
on the thick stone prison wall
penn stronger than sword
university
offers three hundred degrees
must be an oven
the strict judge gave him
punishment of death sentence
ask, commas allowed?
