“We must never confuse elegance with snobbery.”
On The Road
She sips and sips,
drinks up the whole cup of dreams
while admiring; while loving.
Her head still aches;
her phone never rang;
who really gives a damn?
Her lips are in smile;
her mind is in bloody pain;
and the girl in blue doesn’t know how to walk.

First Attempt
Quiet.
Midnight flights glowing.
Drowning in my thoughts,
I kicked the pill away,
shot it to nowhere land.
It was the darkest night.
The old moon was not right.
I made a wish regardless,
negligent of the dawn,
when I read of my loss in the news.

I’m Alive
“Reclining Woman” by Erich Heckel
Happy 70th
The Day Before
The gloomy sky is dimming this town
and I get lost inside the music; immersed in red velvet.
His green apron once again provokes
every single cell in me – so does his cheerless gaze.
The days are deprived of time and words; in motives.
The lion’s boom on the cover breaks the silence –
I click on the keys while singing the lines one by one
“I pull the devil down with me one way or another.”
I regret the passing seconds on the train stop
when nobleness was drowned brutally in bluffers’ flame;
where the cracking bones were the only sound in my ears;
when a single ring was a million tributes to a moronic affair.
And I let go; slowly, gently, with pride.

The Poet
“If my poetry aims to achieve anything, it’s to deliver people from the limited ways in which they see and feel.”
Quick Note
Live from (around the corner) Starbucks: Dire Straits’ “Sultans Of Swing” is in the air; so is nostalgia.
Coming up: personal updates and poetry – and I’m not lying.
