Rebirth

His baby wings shake off 
the remains of a fiery past. 
One more time, twice as wise, 
still thinking this life can last.

Metal

I gaze at the date 
on her bare neck, 
as we lie on the beach 
waiting to be scrap. 


Her long dark hair 
mingles with the night, 
her sapphire eyes shine 
like the ocean 
under moon light, 
a female projection 
of my self, 
a perfect landscape, 
except we aren't. 


Her light goes out 
followed by mine, 
two lightening balls 
racing to the clouds, 
leaving our bodies 
empty on the ground.

The Kill

A candle burns 
warming the night, 
as the cold breeze 
dances with the flame 
like a dark ritual 
before a sacrifice. 
It plays a sad tune 
as it blows, 
then winds to devour 
another flame, 
leaving the candle 
choking in it's smoke.

The Mirror

The mirror-- love 
has two peculiar sides, 
convex and else concave. 
The mighty God-- 
the tiny ant-- 
and none of both 
has truth.

At The Bar

Without a word from me, 
she came and began to talk, 
told me about her miserable life 
and all the paths she used to walk. 
 
Without a word from me, 
she left and others came, 
each told a different story, 
but none of them, told their name.

The Pitiful Tree

A soil was shared
by two little trees,
together endured
all kinds of weather,
time brought them closer
and branches did meet,
but it was not long,
before their intimate
hopeful arms broke,
they pushed and pulled
and hated one another,
until the weaker tree
submitted and withered.

A strong wind attacked
and the winner stood tall
and alone,for the first time,
his friend was down and
there was nothing to cling to,
the wind walloped harder
and battered the pitiful tree.

Seven Pins

Bring me today's voodoo dolls,
the candles and the pins,
each of you, carry one doll
and do as I say.

Stick a yellow pin in stomach
for success and money,
now, put the red one deep
for the great power,
follow it by a black,
let him taste some pain..
take away the first two
and fix a blue pin instead,
love will make it up for him.

He is now too old to suffer,
another black pin to heal him,
and a one like his hair
to give good karma and energy,
a green and a purple
let him rest and get closer to me,
now, he is finally ready,
stick the pink pin in the heart,
blow all the candles,
prepare tomorrow's dolls,
and welcome our guests.

Forever Battle

When the night prevails
and the moon stands tall
proud of his dull creation,
the sun ascends slowly
with a great army of light,
the absolute intensity of
the great rainbow soldiers
overwhelms the darkness,
the moon mourns his loss
and escapes to the underworld
to prepare for another round.

Night Resort

Minutes before the sun sets,
 I jump into the turquoise,
I hear the splash twice,
each in a different tone,
I let my relaxed body drown
and hold my breath inside,
but the air kept in my lungs
pushes me upward to float,
so I let it out smoothly,
like a long thread of pearls
it goes up, instead of my body
which descends slowly like the sun.

I watch the pearls explode
on meeting the glassy dark surface,
My eyes close like seashells
and my body mimics a starfish,
the night veils the outside
and the water becomes my element.
