Fountain of Youth

 Never get old

always stay fresh

it is the desire of every man

who feels he has aged


And seen so much, ugliness

so little beauty in innocence

And felt so many disappointments

in others, mostly in oneself


But he forgets he has a fountain within

if only he could listen to the whispers of memory

the sparks lost in the dark recess of his mind, still living

only a touch is all it needs for them to awaken


Remember me?

old friend..."

Bleeding Heart

There are holes in my heart
and when it pounds 
each moment is agony re-incarnate

I wish it would not beat
with each feeling chaotic 
unnerved by the presence of her beauty

I wish the perception of aesthetics 
I was never gifted with
to notice, her features each...
magnified

the scent of her perfume passing
her lazy shrug, so naturally charming
her grace, a presence so demanding
I wish I could not see, feel, ever notice
with the beating of my heart, bleeding

(excerpt from the book Selected Poem 2024 in booksie)

Even if I wanted to...

 There's a reason why

I can't simply lie

even if I wanted to...


It's because of your heart 

that is purer than the gold

I can't forget your kindness...


So that is the reason why

you are always in my mind

even when I try

to forget you...


Even if I wanted to

you are not simple 

but a spark in the dark universe

where happiness I can find


And this is just one truth

I can tell to myself

before I live my life

a lie, true


Even if I wanted to...

Amaze me

 Never ceases to amaze me

the human heart

the human mind


imperfect unwilling to hold in

feelings bitter

unconveyed, inside they decay


chattering thoughts

so long, for now, lingering 

incessant like a child, 

it continues begging


love me, take me, embrace me

sweet love of mind

hated enemy I can't stay near

that is amazing, life

Who am I

 Take away my name

I was named after

I call myself an identity

my gender

my physical features

take them all

all I ever was and I am

only silence

within the depth of silence

is there more silence

where only is silence

then I ask myself

with trepidation, a feeling of uncertainty

who am I

I

I

Who AM I!!!

When love whispers softly





 The restless heart

and the whisper of confusions

do I love her, or do I not

immersed within such fluctuating thoughts


I try, not to be confused

I try, not to think about it

but like a white elephant

her image her smile I visualize


do I love her, or do I not

when love whispers softly

I can not be sure

But try to be sure

poor me, like so many

going through the same dilemma

love, that hope brings me to

love, that dreams are dreamed of 

love, I want to, perhaps I do

Love her, ...

The other self

Dark Art and Bizarre Surreal Pictures — Smashing Magazine
(PC: https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/03/30-beautiful-surreal-and-dark-art-pictures/)



In the absolute silence

amidst gray darkness 

I found my "self"

the other self

...


On its own,

Lying there

Child.

it was just a child 

that other "me" 

Abandoned

Broken 

wailing inside

without tears

without a sound

...

A second

Thousand lifetimes

spent

    Our eyes met

his tear filled

shocked mine

the feeling resonated

Then,

my heart broke

to pieces

and pieces


Then,

I felt

what he felt

pain, so much pain

to the brim

I could hold no more

heavy.

my knees buckled

burdened by memories

Then

I could

only cry

with him

together


In the absolute silence

amidst gray darkness 

...
