A Legacy of WisdomYou have scribed your words,
wealthy wreaths of wisdom,
on paper never torn or worn.
You have etched your passions
on my brow.

You have left this wallowed world
victorious; eyes resplendent
with the wisdom you wrote and wrought.
Your passions shall echo in my ears
unto eternity.

And should I stray into some
sullen storm, or get caught in
the torrents of the monsoon, I’ll know
that Lear’s been there before, and
I’ll not swoon.

And if Hades’ doors open up
before my stranded soul, and scorch
it with the heat of hell, I’ll recall that
I am not the first – Dante’s been down
there as well.

A
NonexistenceI pray to a God I have never seen,
who lives in a world that has never been,
to save my heart that has never felt,
from eternity's failures, eternity's guilt.

My feet step on grounds no men stepped before,
my lips taste the poison, bitter and sore,
yet it does not kill me,
does that mean,
that I am immortal,
or that I've never been?

I pray to a God that may not exist,
while the iron shackle tears up my wrist,
to tell me the difference of being and not,
to show me the memories that I forgot.

My mind flies to places nobody has reached,
to learn that the stars are nothing but bleached,
spots on the dark, they're not even light,
AnarchyScream the anthem of the anarchist!
What is it? Exactly.
I won't tell you; make it up.
Go away. Blow it up.
Burn it down. Deface the town.
But don't give in,
Never -- no.
That's the song we all love so.
Freedom past extremity.
Far away, in my backyard
I own the world; I am a bard.
I wear a beard and shave my head;
All the normals want me dead.
I won't give up; I ramble rave.
You'll never make me behave.
My brother, loser, freak, meek geek
You know-- the beatnick, hippy, punk--
The rock bands my parents debunk--
We treasure what we cannot have:
No allegiance to any flag.
out of Gardenwhat sea
how it is welling your eyes a wet mess

what tide
where urchins of the ocean will spill to howl their elegy
where mermaids will turn widows
once brine has swallowed whole their sailor babes

stewarding the land instead
is why i never set sail with you

but to lay in gardens, oh…

a bed sheet rotten by the ultraviolet
and our laps full of stars

what black soil will pervert your knees there
where moonlight will mirror out from your teeth
to run fanatic toward cosmic space
after bathing in the space among us

where walking air pushes every dust

Perspectives of a Hallucino...Comfort. The softness of the basement couch. Misery loves company.
Trickling through my fingers. Whispering across my face, her disappearing
lips trace across my cheeks. The smell is sweet, but she is rough against
my throat. Her smell isn't so much intoxicating as it is suffocating, yet
the smoke paralyses my senses and touches my soul. Her street name is
undeserving of her effect on me. Forever, she shall be known to me as
Mary-Jane. I will never know her beauty.

GodThere is a God. I have seen him snap the necks
Of children and inspect their hollow remains.
Pushing past the sinews, there is nothing there.
No prayers clogging the arteries, stopping the rush
Of blood, a blackened jet.
Their mouths had not yet learnt how to
Form 'hail mary's'. Tongues twisted at the sound.
The syllables choke.

There is no use lying to a child who when asking
For God, finds only silence.

He is not interested in them. The purity sickens.
There's a boredom in innocence that causes him
To turn away. His eyes are better fixed on those
Who can praise him. The shallow whore who never

ScrutinyAnd when I am formulated, sprawling on a pin,
When I am pinned and wriggling on the wall,
Then how should I begin…
~ T.S. Eliot, "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock

I am going through the keyless gate
to watch and wait,
to wander here and there among the proud,
among the white and old whose wisdom rots, repressed, untold:
the soporific royals wreathed in leaves of gold.
And to them I shall read aloud from the Book,
read of the sins their lips have took
and upon me they shall look and patiently reflect…

“I am lost in my own depth,” I will say
in a slight, impartial way
(for I lack violets and an antic prin
Vampires heartacheI awake in the night;
I can no longer sleep.
I don't see myself in mirrors;
I see somebody else.
I am alone.
I am dead.
The red stripes on white flesh
Keep me somewhat Sane.
I stare at the ceiling;
It is as cold and dead as I am.
The pain burns within;
as my life slowly fades away.
Wolf's Rain
Snowflakes fall, blood is in the air,
Covering white figure of pride,
Lying forceless on the ground,
Having no strength to fight with the snow,
Nor even with reality,
Which drifts down from the empty sky,
Where the moon cannot be seen,
Where birds cannot be heard,
At which wolves can only howl.
Suicide
I'm so sick of suicide
It's everywhere I look
Pictures, and in movies
In poetry and books

I'm so sick of suicide
It's pathetic and it's weak
Blah blah blah so awful
Outlook always bleak

This life's just not worth living
Could they be any more cliché'?
I know that I just can't go on
Isn't that what they say?

Do you live in China
Without freedom's basic choice?
Are you a woman in Afghanistan?
Forbidden to have a voice.

Are you starving now in Africa?
Surrounded by disease
Or under corrupt dictatorship
Forced upon your knees

These people rise to challenges
We cannot comprehend
They live their lives from day to day

Take counsel.
I hear your cry.
It passes through the darkness, filters through the clouds, mingles with starlight, and finds its way to my heart on the path of a sunbeam.
I have anguished over the cry of a hare choked in the noose of a snare, a sparrow tumbled from the nest of its mother, a child thrashing helplessly in a pond, and a son shredding his blood on a cross.
Know that I hear you, also. Be at peace. Be calm.
I bring thee relief for your sorrow for I know its cause ... and its cure.
You weep for all your childhood dreams that have vanished with the years.
You weep for all your self-esteem that has been corr

die katze und der regendie katze und der regen - ein verlust

eines morgens bin ich in mir erwacht, doch war ich in wirklichkeit plötzlich eine katze- unnahbar, beinah hoffnungslos gleichgültig; jede bewegung, innen wie außen, verlangsamt- manch einer hätte das für grazil gehalten.
 doch was ich zu aller erst bemerkte, war, dass ich alles verändert sah, man sollte sagen . alles schien eine oberfläche geworden zu sein. und nur ich schien heraus zu ragen...
 ein wenig später schlich ich mich aus dem haus. ich schlich und lief, lief und schlich. sehr leise scheinbar, wie auf sanften pfoten. so leise, dass ich nicht meine sch
mein schlaf ist dein trostein truebsal der seele
fesselt dich in dich hinein
zerfliessende liebe
ploetzlich bist du ganz allein

ein schatten der welt
wirft licht in dein rotes herz
es brennt, lodert, flammt
endorphin fuer deinen schmerz

gift meiner liebe
schick mir deinen rohen schlaf
leg dich neben mich zu bett
ich leide, wenn ich leiden darf

dunst meiner liebe
atme dich in mich hinein
lass mir kein eigen atemzug
dein letzter soll auch mein letzter sein

und bricht die nacht heut ueber mich ein
im schlaf kein tropfen leid zum weinen
kein dumpfes licht, um wach zu sein
ohnmacht der nacht, mein leib ist dein

[und das wird niemals ander sein]

...
unbenanntes war ein rabenschwarzer tag zu einer rabenschwarzen zeit. es war ein tag, der aussah wie alle anderen in diesen tagen. und es waren dort zwei menschen- eine junge frau und ein junger herr. und sie beide hielten den kopf gesenkt. und hebten ihn dann und wann fuer ein laecheln.
zwischen ihnen war ein grosses missverstaendnis entstanden, so wie man das wort nur verstehen kann. es war einst eine unerschoepfliche liebe zwischen ihnen gewesen, doch auch eine solche liebe scheint einer manchmal allzu schweren welt nicht ewig standzuhalten; und so senkten sie nun immerfort den kopf. sie, um ihr gesicht zu verbergen, das vernarbt war von all den h
baccarasprechblasen fuellen die luft
die dichte, haltlos eine innere wahrheit
eine offene unwahrheit
pruegelt heraus aus der einzigen wirklichkeit

24 stunden einsam ohne bewusstsein
voellig entfremdet der geliebte ort, die ruhe
die liebe, die so eigen ist

eine unwirklichkeit
laechelt dir zu, mit seinen tausend muendern
verwesung bis zum rachen, bis zur
netzhaut. verschimmelt.

verrostet, verklebt
diese klauen ohne entkommen
eingenistet, um worte zu verfaelschen
immer wieder
kraftlose hingebung

und doch diese bewegungslosigkeit
die zur einsamkeit einlaedt
in momenten verdorbenster krankheit
einzige tuer zu gedanken

leben. immerfort.was traeumtest du bloss?
war es tag, war es nacht?

es entspringt aus leibeskraeften,
und dein gesicht huellt sich in heisse traenen
du bist verloren, zeitlos fuer die ewigkeit.

ein erwachen, wie im traume
gehuellt in dein eigenes schicksal, schreist du
aber wo, wo prallt es auf? sind wir taub?

greifst mit der hand nach dingen,
unbekannt sind sie; die einst vertraut
verbunden sind, deine geschichten, immer fort.

wer bist du nun?, gefangen in dir
dein leben ziertest du mit tiefstem sinn
keine hoffnung, resigniert, geschieden von

        leben. immerfort. und ewig.

mosaique et kaleidoscope

:iconpaulaplastik:

Wenn Du wüsstest, welches

Fühlen ich durchwander'

Welchen Traum mit meinen Dreizehn

Sinnen wenn ich könnte -

Unaufhörlich wandern.

Tausend Mal in Eins unendlich

Zu zerspringen



Würd' es etwas bringen?

das leben ist ein kaleidoskop...und wir sind die bunten glasscherben, die sich zu einer form zusammenfinden, wenn die zeit daran schüttelt...
