happiness, life,
There's a lot to be blue about these days.
In that there's sure no mystery.
And I can easily slip into doubt.
Especially given my history.
Darkened skies may hang my head.
But I refuse to give them a voice.
Life can enslave you in heartache.
Yet really now,it's your choice.
Like an old cat in winter you can creep
along the gray and dismal wall.
Or run through the rain,hair in ringlets.
Laugh at the absurdity of it all.
You can paint up your world with happiness.
Swing on a cloud chandelier.
I choose music,laughter and love.
These things are reason enough to be here.

I prefer crazed blue eyes
How they
Magnetize
The ache
I have
To make your insanity
My own
I prefer crazed blue eyes
Won’t
Apologize
How I take
Your flesh
And make your absurdity
My home
I prefer crazed blue eyes
Don’t you
Realize?
Nutcase
Lover
Wackity wack wackify
My soul
Let me look into your
Anarchic mind
Transfixed by those
Wild baby blues
Let’s share the final
Gasps of time
While we wear
Each other's shoes
Let me hold your body
In such strange ways
Even monkeys
Would be ashamed
Let’s meld our chaos
Lunatic babe
One body joined
Perverse, deranged
I prefer crazed blue eyes
Delirious blues
In the way they
Stare at me
All Sturm und Drang
Staring
Knowing
Exactly
Who I Am

CYBER SAILOR
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
When he sailed
across the buzz
that hums
resounding
absurdity
echoes
love at first ....byte(?)
Keen vibration
Zips through twilight
bumbling bee to tumbling star--
Dangling through cyber spaces
Dancing with
Northern Lights subliminal beauty--
Physics masterpieces
complexities--
Musical perfection
minute and inexplicable as Mozart
magnetic in simplicity
His eyes drew mine
When he sailed
across the electron buzz
that hums
It was
in that instant
that
I
looked
up
forever

Coz of love
I risk my life to save a life
Cos of love
I became a fool for the fool
Coz of love
I denied myself the only bread that makes me survive only to see a soul
Survive
Love is a reality of absurdity
Coz of love
I became poor for a dying soul to become rich
Coz of love
I was trapped in the pool of debt, ridicule and sorrow
Love is a reality of absurdity
Love, whether in a relation
For friendship
Or relationship
Geared towards marriage,
It’s that which positions your heart and mind
To Generousity without Expectation
To Tolerance without Limit
To Acceptance without Judgement
To “folly” in Goodness
Love is a reality of absurdity

I want you in no uncertain terms
You will only be mine,
I know I am selfish,
I never think about your troubles/ diffuclties,
I devote my life to you,
believe me I need you,
I know you will never get this note,
come back to me,
my beloved,
or set me free,
this is my only plea
I want to Reach you,
with everything that I have Insde me
absurdity, insanity
my beloved
return to me

Manacles suppress a beautiful mind
decayed by the stench of putrid bitterness
created long before Mr. Whitney
made you expendable
yet you loathe me
despite my relation to Harriet
uncle Tom was never relevant
nor did his cabin provide shelter
unto your bitterness
its wood burned food for thought
could one become a christian
to be born again
and return as an abolitionist
the absurdity of it astounds me
but chains will always bind us together
regardless of our ancestry
linked through the color of love
red hues splashed in anger
dipped in disdain
tainted by the past
we live to paint
the pictures shadows cast......

Angels, descending from above,
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love
Angels, weavers of dreams,
Harbingers of nightmares, they bring screams
When fallen they become, lost is this world
For the heavens become hells, fiery and all curled!
Angels, fallen they may be,
Yet, they shall not remain so for eternity
The ONE above is full of pity
For his children lost in absurdity,
Feeling like crazy beings in a reality
Where Time is Fool's stupidity!
Angels, descending from above, shall try with all their might
To bring harmony to the land of the dove, where lost is the light!

Are there spires of salvation
tearing through your sin
anchors of admonishment
splintering hypocrisy to wood
Would you die for your beliefs
beaten bloody and religiously raw
mocked as a penniless sycophant
crucified before a mother’s love
Do you cry for the suffering
like disease ravages the poor
dressing their weeping wounds
with the righteousness you abhor
Do you believe in blasphemy
the absurdity of an ethereal grace
judging a man’s convictions
for the apathy in his wake

MY ELEANOR
Darling, yet another day is past gone,
While we rest from the battle; losing not just one.
As the wind of pain blows round our camp,
Affixing to many hearts its bleeding stamp,
I sit, on the warm sand, gazing at the moonlight,
With thoughts glued just on you, my sunlight;
The only object that holds my sanity
In this jungle of blown absurdity.
I gladly call to mind our parting act,
Drenched in showers of the passionate art.
I long, unbridled, for your charming form –
A comfy shelter from this storm.
Till we meet again, after this dreadful tour,
This is from me to you, my lovely Eleanor.

Anyone can find the absurdity in life,
But only the strong can make it their wife.
Nay, not the strong in the arm or the shoulder,
Nor the behomoths who love lifting boulders,
I mean the sort who's heart always smolders,
A fiery love, of every day older.
One so much smarter than everyone knows,
One who thinks harder than they'd ever show.
I think that's just what afflicts us the most;
We're so much smarter than we even know.

Chimps can't see color like you and me
Sadly, only in shades of grey do they see
But paintings by chimps
Buyers love the tints
As for me, I can't stop giggling at the absurdity

confusion, lost love, love,
I don't know why I love you,
only that the question sits with me
like a bear at the edge of its den,
stubbornly still,
yet so ready to claw the answer
into tiny bite sized clues
if it dare meanders near
Maybe love prefers me blind
and ignorant and bound to its side
in the cold hibernation
of all it shan't dream
I wouldn't know,
I've grown comfortable
in this grey, dank cavern
pondering the absurdity of love
in all its awful ambiguity

Suddenly,
Heartbeat trumpeting in my throat,
Her presence,
It does that to me, sometimes,
I force myself to
To neutrality, absurdity, mask,
We talk,
I remain, the elephant in the room,
I talk,
No one mentions that I am the elephant in the room,
I remain,
Iron cored neutrality,
Masked girl,
Forever masquerade,
Questions set me grasping for straws at the end,
Each day,
Best friends, always,
My heart still beating in its cage.

lost love
Athena looked into my eyes,
The frigidity of her heart
Softened. Athena panic’d
Within innocence of my
Eyes. I couldn’t help but
Crumble at her feet. Athena
Burst into tears. We held
Each other until the sun rose.
How do I again hate? For
Love is the pain of Yahweh.
I now ponder within thoughts of
Non-objectivity—Athena has
Slipped through my fingers.
God! Hast thou ever loved me?
I search for Athena: desperate
Eyed, Byzantine bewitched,
Afflicted from cloudberries,
Crawling through grottos
Of absurdity. I yin a hovel
Of refuge to rescue me of
My love of Athena. Is there
Such a refuge? Athena! Hold me.

Words are eating commas,
Phrases are eating the page
Pages are eating the parallel space
The end of Quantum Mechanic
Is reaching its absurdity
its maximum entropy
It is cold
I have to burn my journal.

lost love, teen,
In a small green tent I reached for midnight
Above our stoned embrace my lies
Emptied in an indifferent trickle of desire
We giggled, fingering each other’s faces
The strange familiar- absurdity
In the doef-doef music and the scale of my fish-nets
Two teenage screw-ups, a clichéd poem already forming
On lips bruised with vampire kisses
With which I stroked your smile, coaxing truths on which to feed

In the moments,
when sadness descends upon
and loneliness surrounds my heart
The absurdity of life
reveals before my eyes
winds of obscurity drifts away:
all my faculties
The moon of hope hides
behind the clouds of disappointment
stars of memories dismantle
from the sky of mind
when darkness whirl around
and longings weep deep inside
heart seems to stand still
music of life stops
in those moments
if YOU happen to come....

The war is rising
Who started first?
The ambitious youth ness
On behalf of Alexander
The Romans who were looking for
Refined salts
The crusades
Escaping from the orthodox eagles
The new RUP globalization
The cons and pros bring theirs
breeze and wind
the only common
is absurd
they are lamps
an organized group temptation
and a Low Class heavy iced Martin's
Anything else
is absurdity itself
What I am sure
I is getting hot and hotter
The battle field is getting crowded
And flatter
My mind is taking me
To watch this cat
Crossing this noisy party
With calculated steps
She is fixing her eyes
On something?
Is she chasing a mice?

Green Salad and white Carpet
Red Chilies and Black magic
Falling Rain the vibgayar
What is this? Absurdity?
Blind Eyes Blind Heart
Black Tea and again black magic
Tea spoon, sugar for an ant
Cane for an Elephant
What is this? Reality?
Clever Horse racing, Clever *** Hardship
Clever Man Killing, Clever girl weeping
God is great Of course, God is dead!
What is this? Confusion?
Intelligent minds Dirty Lands
Wise Men More War
Mysteries, Mischievous, Godly and foolish
What the is this?
I am here I am there I am boy
I am clever, I am helpless
I am spiritual, I am cunning less
I am helpful, I am a tomb and
I am Jesus

I would like to think
I am a simple soul
but that is
a complexity of paradoxes;
I was born
in a conflict between two parents
neither of which desired a child
yet, there I was,
a conception formed
in the incongruity and absurdity
of their love and life's intent;
the irreconcilable discrepancy of an act
with unintended consequences
but there I lay,
birthed into existence
and despite the contempt, the abandonment,
the experiences and heartaches
I live
simple as that.

ABSURD
absolute absurdity the human being,
being alive, no reason to live...
INTELLIGENCE
A living fool, surpasses in physics intelligence
a dead intellectual...
IT IS BETTER
The laughter of the living is better than crying
of the dead...
DEAD
The dead survives in memories
of the living...
LOVE
More real and further alive than
death is life with love...

CLIMAX
A progression
Close to culmination
In rhetoric or musical passion
It is the pivotal end of a story
Perhaps, in a more sensual activity
It is the stage when partners
Reached their ultimate ecstasy
It is absurdity asking a mate, have you enjoyed?
It is a fast, a moment precision with bliss
It is somehow a magic, in muttering words
That only God made for lovers to fulfill mutual enjoyment.
A clamor once consented in privacy
While doing no one can even disturb concentration
As in the making the very ecstatic of all thing…
Anatomically, physically and spiritually
The climax!

There are lost people, scared of their mortality
They not being in-line with real reality
This is another part of fallen humanity
Let us walk out of this movie tragedy
For it is to come out of this absurdity
There should be the pursuance of love, life and liberty
Anything less would be as a walking zombie
Revive, and come out of this world’s conformity
Yes, do the right thing with little and or no apology
Yet, to speak out with all humble humility
Let us live our lives and write our own individual life story
Thus, the sum of life and all its totality

love hurts,
My soul seems gone
life
withdrawn
a murder scene
scoured clean.
My heart appears dead
expiration
ahead
darkness despair
sheer nightmare
hellish abyss
medusa’s kiss.
My mind feels slain
savagely spent
on maggots lain
injected infected
this disease
destructions intent.
My being is hollow
spilled out
bloody wallow
oasis of scum
unrequited love’s
kingdom come.
Everything is lunacy!
absurdity
pervades so brutally
insinuated
insistently
beyond reason
love’s season
near senility.
