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 -

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
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.

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.
