My Truth

My Truth

 

I have found
A new truth
More times than the days
I have seen pass
I have taught myself
And fought myself
And with every battle
I have avoided
The chains of mediocrity
In the darkest corners
Or on the highest peak
There has been no cavity
Large or small enough
To trap me
And therefore
I keep rising
Or keep falling
As my choices
Belong only to me

Chase

Chase

I rode my bicycle

Faster than the wind

Branches and leaves

Of an olive tree

Grew out of my pants and

A giant black cape

Carried by the wind

Cracked as

I escaped

The dislocated world

Chasing me.

To Love

To Love

I might be dead

As I feel your hand

I might blindly die

As I feel your hand

And you might live

And let me live

Alive or dead

As I feel your hand

Without a smile

Without a cry

As it touches

Soft and warm

At my throat

Made In Humanity

Made In Humanity

A seven-year old child

Blew herself up

On the news

The next day

Minds were sharpened

For the lunch-break talk

To save us

From ourselves

Before we went home

To cheap wine and

Free Internet porn

And turned in

To the late news

Showing a man

With a really big dick

Who fucked everything

For the next child

In line

And we applauded

As we watched

What it was like

To be made in Humanity

Fellow Traveller In The Shadow Of Life

Fellow traveller in the shadow of life,
upon the awry spires of despair,
let not your spirit be rent,
in dreams misplaced.
Midnight sun of agony sweet,
and morning stars of blackest hope.
Embrace they beacons of suffering
and lament the truth.
Shed the poison of indifferent solace,
For you fellow traveller in the shadow of life,
who has suffered that has not lived.
