Rain

it’s like that angel

one of heavenly desire

wet

dripping

 

it comes from above

and with all its honor and courage

it carries us inside

 

into the warmth

under the wings

we are guided

 

the rain pours

mixing the streams with rivers

rivers with oceans

a dance of water

a splash of wonder

 

he wonders

she sees a reflection

in the distance the sun

a rainbow color

 

together a one

the rain above

the water flows

cold and down

but the touch

the feel

that soothing rain

 

let it pour

let it come one

let it be

let it rain

 

rain

Untitled (Love)

it holds you tight

holds you in

showers you with guilt

all about

 

it grasps you

the more you go

the deeper you are in

the more time

the greater the grip

 

it encompasses you

engulfs you

swallows you up

doesn’t let you breathe

 

it makes you think

makes you weak

takes your time

and makes great taste

 

it’s over there and over here

it’s all around

but never right here

 

but when inside

deep inside

it holds you

doesn’t allow you to leave

until you go

and wave goodbye

and then

a new one comes along

 

but, how long?

has it been?

Untitled (Comments On Love)

The measurements exceed

The unpredictable is only around the corner

The levels are complex

The confusion lies within

The alterations are not made

The voices are never heard

The thoughts race like buffalos

The memories intrude

The fantasies never become real

The dreams are death defying

The love is passionate but not local

The real time has come

The real one is here

Here I am.

Tears

Tears roll down,

I would wipe them.

 

Tears roll down,

I would taste them.

 

Tears roll down,

I would catch them.

 

Tears roll down,

I would keep them.

 

Tears roll down,

I would help them.

 

Tears roll down...

no one ever catches mine.

The Victim

who’s the victim?

 

I am.

You are.

The lion is.

The bastard is.

The love couch is.

The battered wife.

The fat kid.

 

I am.

You are.

The president is.

The tree is.

The ground is.

The food is.

 

Last night was.

She is.

My mother is.

My sister was.

Your lover will be.

 

I am.

You are.

Today will be.

The operator.

The listener.

The controller.

 

I am.

You are.

She is.

He is.

The inventor.

The consumer.

The watcher.

The walker.

 

Saturday & Sunday.

The midnight blues

The screen above

The ocean below

The thunder distance

The headlight under

 

The round corner

The leap

The current; electrified

The peg

The bird

I am.

You are.

The candle burning

The paper wasting

The weight holding

The tight rope

 

I am; you are... always.

I am.

One of them.

Always.

 

With or...

It’s time to go,

I have realized it

That I am a victim

Of abuse and loneliness

Of selfishness and pain

Of murder and draught

Of politics and art

Of love and hatred

Of rape and death

Of slavery and racism

Of sexism and complications

 

Of numbers

and letters

Of signs

and signatures

Of meadows

and pastures

Of priests

and food poisoning.

 

I am the victim.

I always was, always will be.

I am the one,

the one that “they”

are looking for.

Untitled (Spare)

Spare it.

Spare the thought

Take the trip

Feel the reason

Don’t question a step

Don’t deny

Take a spin

 

Spare any lies

Go with the heart

Follow the streets

Follow that star

 

If the sun comes down

I will be there

If the sun comes down

I would like you to be there

 

Spare some time for me

I have all the time for you

Feel the sunlight

Feel the warmth I can give

Cradle you in my arms

All night long

An embrace

A beautiful one

A holding one

A real one

And Then The Rain Came

The sun came up

The trees made shadows

The pavement, dark, cool

 

The sun made patterns

Between the leaves

It fell,

To the ground

 

The sun came up

Over the hill,

Beyond the lake

 

The sun came up,

A beauty laid

She laid there,

On the blanket

Peacefully

 

She laid there,

Her hair glistened in the sun

Her eyes sparkled in the sun

 

She laid there,

Motionless,

But not emotionless,

she laid there; still

 

Beauty

Fine

A woman; like a statute

One to admire, one to respect, one to honor

 

Beauty,

Where the heart is and the sunshine flows

Where the sense is

Where the fountain of holding is

 

She is there, on that blanket

She is there, dressed in white

She is there, calm, and quite

She is there, wanting a hug

 

I took a walk one day

I saw that beauty

On that blanket

On that great grassy green field

Infront of the hills, below the sunshine

 

I took a walk one day

I saw her

That beauty

But where is she?

I cannot see her.

 

And then the rain came.

Darkness

Approach the darkness

encompass it

hold it

let your dreams dive into it

share the memories

don’t be afraid

the love will last

and pull you through

 

the darkness

it makes us scared

and some strong

to me, though,

darkness is good,...

 

because you don’t know who kisses you.

Tell

The rivers of red, they flow down virgin thighs

The pulling of sheets, the clench of a fist

 

The tears run down, the beauty cheeks

The yells unheard, from deep inside the heart

 

The power struggle, sounds are muffled

The reality of him, he over she

 

It may be a response, but a force will blow

It may be a fight, but the winner will not pull

 

Scratch his back, nice and calmly

Scratch his back, dig deep inside

 

Scratch his eyes, pull his hair

No bitch- lets pull yours

 

Pull down those borders

Pull down those barriers

 

Intrude, not to produce

Intrude, not to love

Intrude.

 

Spread open

Wide open

Don’t be alarmed

You will not be harmed

Don’t be fake

You aren’t going to wake

 

Kneel down

Kiss it baby

The river flows

That virgin river

 

The pool; in red

The pool; in horror

 

It’s not going to hurt

It’s not going to be an answer

 

Don’t tell

I’m only mama’s boy

Don’t tell

I’m your friend

Don’t tell

I’m your lover

Don’t tell

 

 

Tell

 

For we have to stop that virgin river.

Yellow & Red

An angular turn toward the sky,

A screeching yell

He opens wide,

Yells to the heavens...

Maybe asking, a Why?

 

He turns, twists,

As the thunder holds him,

Tightly grasps him, squeezes,

He yells, screeches,

 

His pain, in red and yellow,

furious anger,

it rages above the land,

above the white cotton fields,

above the singular eggs,

above the smell of death,

 

His pain, he yells,

Maybe asking, a Why?

The reds, oranges, and yellows,

The anger, the pain,

Always alone, never lonely.

 

His teeth, sharp

His tongue, drips of blood,

bitten too hard,

after a midnight puncture

 

A morning call

A nighttime fall

After hours,

No more

 

Liquid down, time to feed,

the wind breaks the silence

the passengers cross the river

the obesity, the unshaven, that voice above,

and maybe later,

 

A higher one.

 

His pain, he yells,

In yellow and red,

for no love can rescue

for no love can predict

 

He thinks they are fake, they are real

He notices one by one,

and takes a poll

 

He comes down

for a while

Watches the shadow

from a 12th floor window

 

Watches the rain,

the beasts,

the rich men too.

 

The arrested man,

convicted from his mother,

from gold to poor,

from a voice of no more.

 

His pain reaches out,

for a higher reason,

a wonderful dream,

no.

not this time.

 

Yellow and red, slash them tonight.

Yellow and red, may I be yours tonight?

Yellow and red, he fuck her, she fuck him.

Yellow and red, my father

 

Yellow and red, a lover in bed

Yellow and red, he wants suicide

Yellow and red, one is good

Yellow and red, anger is food

 

His pain, it comes deep within

But surely you know,

It isn’t a jX or a hooker

It isn’t a nX or a chic

It isn’t a gX or a cheese

It isn’t a pig or a fowl

 

It’s that Yellow and Red.

 

The blood of anger.

 

You know what it is

What it is caused by.

 

Maybe you are part of it.

Maybe you are not.

 

 

Yellow and Red.

Do you prefer angels or devils?

On sunny days I like angels.

On rainy days I like devils.

On some sunny days I like devils.

On some rainy days I like angels.

On all sunny days I like angels.

On all sunny days I like devils.

On all rainy days I like angels.

On all rainy days I like devils.

 

Sometimes I am one.

Or the other.

Other times I pretend. Or dress up.

Other times, its someone in the mirror,

or over my shoulder.

Sometimes you are.

 

I prefer both.

Red or Cold.

Heaven and Hell.

Both, below and above,

from the East they come.

 

Dig down or rise high.

It’s a position I’m always in.

A debate I continue every day.

Sunny or rainy.

Las Vegas

City lights

People with delights

My inspiration

An old man’s perspiration

 

It’s a devil’s book

A ladies look

Nighttime breast

A gambler’s nest

 

In my memory

With a girl named Sherry

A car cruise

I’m going to lose

 

It’s a desire

A slut for hire

It’s a die

For the men in tie

 

Glorious shows

The city flows

Rich & poor

Clothes on the floor

 

Desert sky

I’m going to fry

Bush for dessert

She’s going to hurt

 

Glitter, Gold, & the underground gun

Oh My God - What fun!

 

Rent-A-Car on the strip

The husband going to flip

Pocketbook

The midnight shook

 

Sunray

Nobody gay

Can you beat the heat?

Make them eat the meat

 

The virgin flower

The dark prowler

Young girls

Cheap thrills

 

The money slots

Cheater’s plots

The back table

It’s gonna be a fable

 

Your problem, a lust

As I go, a must

Here the sounds

There won’t be any frowns

 

It’s America’s pearl

Big Mac will hurl

It’s a wanker’s dream

Nobody’s a team

 

It’s play money

Will you be my honey?

It’s a loser’s luck

Do you wanna fuck?

 

It’s white man’s riches

Full of bitches

It’s a wife beater

Whose gonna be a cheater?

 

It’s god’s hand

West of Graceland

The boy’s first

The drunk’s thirst

 

The women lost

How about a frost?

The women strut

The doors shut

 

Hairy man

Rack of lamb

Gourmet meal

Dolphin & seal

 

Hotel tower

Couple in the shower

I’m gonna make dough

I’m not gonna go

 

We’ll get wed

I’ll get head

She’ll get laid

I’ll get a maid

 

It’s America’s wonder

Come on under

It’s everyone’s depression

A lasting impression

 

It’s America cheese

People on their knees

In all its glory

Cheese of fury

 

It’s Vegas

Swimming

I have parked in others spaces. I do it all the time. I love to do it. I pay to do it. They invite me. I have an invitation. I have proof. I have love; a devil’s look. A devil’s gold. I have a number. The first in line. A wonder about tradition. A complexity of design. A summer dream. A wet pillow. It’s a sunrise on the beach. One over the buildings, below the docks. The summer is ending, the life has just begun. See it, the garden? The apple trees? I own them. Come let’s play.... We will do our own surgery. Make a new living. The art of surgery. You love me, don’t you? Come, come to my house. There is a party. A new one for you, and for me. Let go. It’s time to go. Let’s go swimming.

Bleed

I am inside

As I tantalize your mind

I enjoy the outsides

I bleed the first time

I love to be loved

He pulls me in

Closer he gets

He gets closer

His full erection

I know I will bleed...

For the first time

I will loose

My flower is his

I want to

He wants to

He becomes hard

Strong in front of me

By breasts against his chest

By ass on the sheets

I know I will bleed the first time

I want to

I am ready

No condom at hand

His erection so strong

So erect and red

I yell

I yell

“NO!”

He forces

He intrudes

Inserts

Feels me

Around

All over

Grabs

Forces

Pulls

Hits

Beats

He rapes me

He fucks me

He makes me bleed

Part of me wanted

But I said “NO!”

And he came inside of me

Unwanted

He raped me

Hard as it was

He fucked me

He made me bleed

 

 

 

 

 

 

I bled

On those sheets I grabbed

On those sheets my ass was on

No condom at hand

Will I have a child?

A child I do not want

A child of blood

A child

That will be raped?

By his father?

I Think I Love You

I think I love you

When I am willing

To penetrate

To end all wars

To meet your parents

To grow up in your arms

To taste your tears

To borrow your past

And bury your relatives

 

I think I love you

When I am afraid

To become a new born

To tear down your walls inside

To reach out and touch your heart

To climax forever

To enter a new realm

To climb a trail of heavenly love

 

I think I hate you

Now and forever

I will hate you until

The end of the world

The end of my time

The end of molestation

And Impregnation

The end of revolution

And juxtaposition

The end of my time

As a Necrophiliac

And as a Transsexual

As a Nymphomaniac

And as a Pyromaniac

As a Pathological Liar

And as your God

 

I am afraid

Of the dark

And your large cock

I am afraid

Of Love

To Love

To be Loved

 

I think I love you

Untitled (You & Me)

ah, my dear beloved, worshipper of me, worshipper of death:

 

I will devour you entirely

I will steal you away in the city of lights

You will perform to me

Upon me

For I am your thundering storm

I am huge

And you shall perform on me

Through the streets filled with names and monopolies

Behind the desk of authority, you will

Get down and kneel

Before me you will perform

A great storm

Breathe this flaming rock

Inside and out

Meet it half way

Then take it all the way

Enter

Capture the moment

A hand held tightly

A fist to clench

The bed sheets at high noon

The petals of rose buds

Circle around your waist

I come in to enter

As you peel back slowly

I come in to enter

As you water the new

I come in to enter

As you stretch for the light

I come in to enter

As you breathe in the warm sex smell

 

You have all around you

Joyous colors

Of every shade

I come in to enter

As you dim the light

I come in to enter

As you tear down the walls inside

I come in to enter

As you uncover the romantic collection

 

A captured moment filled with thirst

You see the mirror

I film you without horror

I come to enter you

From above and beyond

I come to enter

Forever and ever

above the knees,

below the belt,

you make me weak,

your accent at heart

your tone in voice,

you make me weak,

you break a boundary

you treat a soul,

you make me weak,

you take a chance,

you call the devil,

you learn how to kneel,

you believe in love,

your heart tells you no,

your body tells you other,

you make me weak,

you lose control,

and then I enter,

and over and over,

I fuck you again.
