Emotions
Emotions are the wire that reaches
the heart of the void.
So much blood, so many wounds
so many dead.
Each approaching winter is the last
an iceberg rolls down the ocean and meets us
a dark sun calls its name while it shines.
So much bloodshed, so many emotions
pulp
all aimlessly kneed in the indecipherable whole.
Armies pass along the heavenly spaces
salvos echo in the narrow air.
Emotions are the wire
that reaches from our hearts to the sky
brings the ice and fires our sun
emotions are the telegraph we use to speak to the dead.
Fraction
Through a lack of interaction
I realised that I am a fraction
The moment you don’t let love through
I am a fraction without you
One would approach… you don’t let them
Without you… a fraction… I am
Confidential
Parts may shake or they may tremble
In a moment confidential
Emotional and physical
Won’t be divided, not at all
We will feel like we’re in the moment
Like golden threads connect each movement
Within forever, the first time
I’ll be yours and you’ll be mine
Independent
Maybe, love is independent
Of the start, the middle and the end, and…
Of places, thoughts and people too
It just holds, that I love you
Thoughtful Behaviour
He counted the handshakes, his expressions, his words,
even during the night, when, alone, in his dark room,
he was taking care of his shoes, his clothes, moving
from his bed to the closet. And if, once, at midnight,
he got undressed and observed his nakedness
erotically in front of the mirror, this took place as if
he didn’t know that the voyeur was listening, from
the next room, from the vacant, empty room with
the nails in the walls, and was always watching him
through the invisible holes in the door and his own body.
Ontogenesis
Immortal darkness
of the underworld, oh, Kore
a supplicant I become
the sky to adorn
the cloud with my fear to define
momentous freedom of thought
I am the Great Spirit’s song
eternal warmth of life
I possess before I come down
to find refuge in your abode
after my days reach their end
accept me in your Sanctum Sanctorum
oh Kore, a simple minded fir I’ve been
for all the days and nights of my life
