You
I have been looking for you
to feel your eyes on me
read
comprehend
analyse
speak
repeat me
I don't know your shape
I just want you
to let me
roll
on your tongue
breathe
your lips
allow
me to hold you
let me
surprise you
stay,
go,
like a dream you don’t remember
You
may love me
sing me
change
me
get lost
remain...
but right now?
I am
this.

Mirror
A look at my lover's face
And I see a mirror
The circles under my eyes
Are now as heavy as his
I presume the fate of a heart
that loves to heal an injured one
is quite the same -
And I see a mirror
The circles under my eyes
Are now as heavy as his
I presume the fate of a heart
that loves to heal an injured one
is quite the same -
It's not his fault I got cut
from the reflection of myself
I saw in him.

a figment of my reality
your mind is a live painting
I can see my strokes
on your conscience
and your mistakes
reflect on my
inability to draw
how I wish
you lived on canvas instead
so I could
fuck you up
and call it
Abstract art.

Stranger
People ask me
How is it that I live in a stranger city
That I visit far away strange places
Laugh with strange people
How is it that I live in a stranger city
That I visit far away strange places
Laugh with strange people
I tell them
I have been raised by strangers
Known- unknown were but a divide of time
That I have been passed from strange hands to stranger
That every one in my life have shown
how the best of them could be
Stranger.
I have been raised by strangers

That every one in my life have shown
how the best of them could be

Strip the flesh, Salt the wound. (Chant of a Masochrist)
STRIP
THE FLESH, SALT THE WOUND
His wounds
Like parted lips kissing
The coffin on his back.
Strip the flesh, salt the
wound.
Crack of leather discipline,
Whips through the arid air
Caressing the skin with scars.
Strip the flesh, Salt the
wound.
Above his brow
Rests a crown,
Thorns prickly sweet.
Strip the flesh, Salt the
wound.
Mallet crashes from on high
Nail driven through flesh
Wood suckles like a hungry
babe.
Strip the flesh, Salt the
wound.
Behold his form
Stretched against the oak
Revel in the pain
Strip the flesh, Salt the
wound.
Sin shalt only be cleansed by pain
He suffered so we did not,
The selfish prick.
Strip the flesh, Salt the wound.
The Salesman
THE
SALESMAN
Hello,
May I bother you for a minute?
I sell in fake smiles.
It will cost you nothing,
On my honour I swear.
The trick is
To pull your lips back,
Just so.
Expose the first molars,
Just so.
Notice
Just how my canines
Show the fierceness
Of my joy.
If you wish you can,
Use your fingers
To pull apart the sides,
Just so.
It may be hard to talk,
However,
The pure beauty of it,
Is you don't have to talk
At all.
