Under The Shadows

Looking around for a loop of light, 
a captive throws out his 
trove of litter and ask for a 
right to be killed. 
 
This was question hour 
of your conscience. Who would 
now act as on executioner? 
Anybody who has not stolen a glance? 
 
You are standing alone with 
the rats.The hips were exploding. 
Owls will assemble later on 
to mourn the death of a native giant. 
 
Under a yellow moon I had met him 
once. He had promised to talk about 
sexual encounters with nameless 
ghosts under the waterfalls.

Pining

I write a song 
for you which you will 
not find in book. 
 
The butterfly waits 
for the bud to open its 
secret of colors. 
 
Did you taste 
the tears of the sky ever 
in a purple dawn?

Poem: Led By Love

Though Today’s path is uncharted,
I’m not worried; being led by Love,
shows that my trust is in the One,
Who wanted a relationship started

with me, before I actually knew
Him and the sacrifice He had made.
When I trust the plan and purpose
geared for my Life, breakthroughs

that I seek, will materialize by
the very seeds of Faith I possess;
with Him alone as my inner guide,
my soul will soar and divinely fly

as we journey together, each day;
I’m no longer concerned about being
lost or where I’m now headed, since
He lovingly accompanies me on my way.

Death Of A Godman

I have agreed to cede 
an unwritten moon 
in a killing frenzy, 
for a chequered spirituality. 
 
Now visitation will start 
ravishing the light at dawn. 
The grievers will assemble 
for a final scoop of dust. 
 
Forgive my star, 
for a failed touchdown. 
A child stands before glitterati 
born again to suffer the other sky. 
 
Nothing comes out of nothing. 
The circle was complete.

Forgetting

What was about this face? 
Between mirage and actuality? 
A fireball was coming towards you. 
You upturn the underside, 
wanted to taste the blood 
and get argasm. 
The statues were posing nude. 
 
Mothers were clad in leaves. 
Fruits were the greed of man. 
I refuse to lie in state. The 
sand grains will find the innocence 
of silver breasts when sky will 
spat a murder. Were you ready 
now to become corrupt? 
 
At last the beginners are now 
becoming the boots.

Lips On Fire

Sometimes the ice burns, 
a fish moves in your eyes. 
 
The ubiquity was at lowest level, 
nothing was visible in sun. 
 
Mission crawl in the crotch 
does not find any fever. 
 
The golden cave has caved in. 
Moon will find another sky. 
 
Nerves were green, pain was 
black. No mercy for hooks. 
 
Your map was here and my stitches. 
Let us see, who tells the lie.

Without Reason

Living in a cyst, it 
would explore the breast. 
The black ethics goes beyond 
the bounds of mystique of 
non-movement. 
 
A while away 
a conflict comes out of the body. 
Melts into a face. 
There is no flesh, no skin. 
Only transgression, holding my hands. 
 
There were no arguments. 
Only speech punctuated by silent sobs. 
A taper standing in a gale. 
The shadow flies like an arrow into 
the pitcher of hemlock.

Undoing

A tumbler climbs a rain 
in all crimelessness. 
Perhaps you will never know 
my invaginating self. The thirst has 
become a river. 
 
A pile of books and I cannot read. 
The shadow lengthens on the wall. 
An eagle melts in the air. 
They are shifting him for amputation. 
Truth cannot walk. 
 
I become my father tonight 
and watch the house burning. 
I am told there was lot of bleeding before. 
There will be no need to rescuscitate. 
The dead man says, why not?

Bouquet Garni

A golden fish in 
blue waters, with many eggs, 
collecting the sperms. 
 
Haiku in sun- 
light was the essence of 
the daydreaming. 
 
The lost road in 
bamboos comes out 
as solitary song.

Assassination of love

A  fertile wind  lures a petting call
from the bull who  will swim the Lough.
Immortality lurks within its perfume
of dynasty and a future king.
 
The scent of tomorrow makes love extinct
for our genes are perfumed with success.
Prada and Versace can make the lemon sweet
but the offspring will question  this statue,
we call David.
 
 Poets will bleed a loves embrace
this  beauty of presence a royal write.
While nature spins the spiders web
of a lover who creates life with  death.
 
These tears will soon be forgotten,
in the rose that  greets the winter.
For love grows cold in the markets of man.
 
But love  should not be abandoned
for creation is a spiritual thing.
As the warrior holds his head against the tree,
unspoken words transcend this earth
that only  his isolation can see.
 
And  in its meaning
love can find a nobility,
that prostitution will never be.
 
Love was a word that once  made empires fall,
now reduced in the confetti of modernisation.
A face book soul caught in the pouting lips
of adolescence,
 staring into the depths  of an old man unseen.
 

And the obese teenager that parents adore
go blind to this locked door .
While mirrors delight in snow white dreams
and a wardrobe that secretly desires perversion.
For the window of porn gags for that.
 
Sex is the ticket to the premiere
that eventually all her friends will see
and the weak  will be the spillage
Of a corn sack  filled
by a man that only a rapist will see.
 
Walk into this gas chamber
And succumb  to a kiss,
prostituted   by a River Island fee
 and a Rimmel greasy lipstick.
That makes the suitor hard
inflamed by the chemical caress of perfume
which will procreate another lost child
Into oblivion.
 

And love will show its face once more
In the bottle of regret
and a being  too fat to work.
Spilling the grease from his chips
while watching the latest premiere
Of another  adolescent dream

Poem: Embrace His Grace

When you… embrace His Grace,
you are made complete in Him;
the moral purity of His Word
and the power of His Presence
are sufficient for your race,

that you take alone on Earth.
He is your definitive Source,
your eternal, tireless Counsel,
your All-in-All and The Almighty.
Christ’s shed blood was worth

the sacrifice, He made for you!
Trust His Word, the finished work
on The Cross and His promises;
speak His Truth over your Life;
and you’ll discover breakthroughs

that draw you… even closer to Him!
Believe for His health, provision,
plan and purpose that He’s offered;
His efforts are final and complete;
honor Him now with songs and hymns!

Humility

While drinking the long night 
you became taller than the eternal 
question, bitten by the moon. 
 
Witchhunting will not stop 
in oligarchy. A human right 
stands on the ivory gate to enter the dust. 
 
The weightlessness is paraded 
nude amongst the full-lipped 
follies of ornamental speech. 
 
The duende was lacking in palace. 
Rivals held the moonlight. 
Now the muse will become celibate. 
 
A giant mantis hops on a podium 
to bless the dying god, and the candle 
burns whole night.

Detalicje

to tekst niealfabetyczny
podpisujący się trzema krzyżykami
(pod jednym śpi drewniany smok
zgadnij pod którym)
 
czytasz- i widzisz jak na dłoni
że to poezja dotknięta mutyzmem
wycofana z życia
 
to park kryjący w sobie uroczy cmentarzyk
 
zdzierasz wierzchnią warstwę granitu i piasku
odsłania się fragment, połyskująca kość
fragmenty łusek
 
i żar stopiony w strzałkę
wiesz że prowadzi do wewnątrz
 
fałszywy kierunek
tam tylko drzwi- na głucho
odźwiernego pochowali w zeszłym roku
 
 
obiecywał że wróci
z  torbą pełną jabłek

z ziemi florskiej- pod włos!
- mój nocny Stróż szczerzy nie najświeższe zębiska
 
a jakbyś przyciął pióra
poglądy- koniecznie w wybielacz
podleczył wyznanie(za bardzo zawiewa wonią blachy!)?
- pytam gościa z szyb i luster
 
może zawołać go/ ich/ nas
owinąć mapą i poczęstować
pseudochińską zupką z folii
 
niech znają miejsce w szeregu, zapamiętają
trasę zawodów (no dobrze- ucieczki 
przed Gwardią Szwajcarską)
 
może uda się zająć któreś z pierwszych miejsc
 
e, jednak znielubiłem tych ja- ludków
odkąd przyłapałem jednego w szpilkach
z harlequinem w dłoni
-gardzi mi się, podśmiechuje

Flornit

 
 
w czasach rozkwitu rzadko zapinano nas pod szyję
praca była groźną używką
pycha- w dobrym tonie
 
uważaliśmy się za ćwierćcarewiczów (feldszczeniactwo!)
mediatorów w odwiecznym sporze 
pomiędzy kruchtą a piwniczką
(poczekaj aż pękną, okaże się że w niepoświęconym 
winie było więcej veritasu)
 
a potem rozpylono sen, zza niedokończonych 
lasów dała się słyszeć melodia 
(techno? dancehall?)
 
idziemy tak, drapiąc słowa piosenek
(czerwone flaki na Monte Cassino
- chłopaki
przyszłam na świat po to, aby kochać cienie
-laski)
 
weselicho się rozkręca, a my- w rozklekotanych halówkach
brzuchy z głodu- jak bębny pralek
franie wypełnione żwirem
 
bzdurzymy o dziewczynie, co to na rauszu
upadła na podłogę. twarz wrosła w dechy
 
zaraz przyplatał się pop czy pastor, oprawiono
głowę nieszczęśnicy w ramy
i wisi w jakiejś cerkwi, czy zborze
poczerniała od kopcących świec
 
upragniona biesiada- coraz dalej. państwo młodzi 
pewnie doczekali się wnuków
 
oplatamy nowe historie, kaleczą się usta
nie rozdziobią nas pawie, nie rozwloką brony
 
na ikonie
krzywi się przedwcześnie postarzała buzia

Weaving Silence

Do I have a choice 
before knifing the page 
for a meaning, when I was 
drowned in a nostalgia? 
 
Cinchona bark. This was my 
keyword for living bitterly 
under a tryant inciting 
the riots of colors. 
 
The digital death comes as 
a reward for insane truth. 
You turn the back on home 
and walk towards the sea – 
 
to count the empty shells on beach. 
Here life completes a cycle 
from emptiness to emptiness. 
You are ready to go in void. 
 
 
*On the death of Steve Jobs.

For now and for always

Will it last this romantic fantasy of shadow and light?
The crimson-red rising moon hangs low where we do walk
through this lovers-lane that it is making tonight.
You are right against me while of lasting love we talk.
 
Is it magic or a strange kind of reality
when your arms slip around my head,
when you do passionately kiss me
am I alive, in heaven or dead?
 
As if God on us does His blessing endow
when you promise to be my wife
your whole face does glow,
and this is a day in my and your life.

Kindled Night

Put off the lantern. 
I am waiting for the moon’s 
primal face. The lesser flamingoes 
were going to shed the pink color. 
 
Nude as a python, the kiss 
of pomegranates, kills by asphyxiation. 
I suffer in the hands of protests. 
The black ice now enters the eye of a needle. 
 
A barefoot noun feeds the junta. 
The butter babies will serve the poetry 
of poor on the mats of principles. 
I will remain unslept on straw. 
 
A newspaper eats the story this side. 
After the bloodbath surgeons weep. 
An armless lover hugs a priest 
for not calling the gods.

The boy of silence

The face behind the harlequins gaze
hides the scars of yesterdays man.
Born in an  Attercliffe slum
in the rags of fathers graft,
with a pencil for a voice
stolen from milk mans note.
 
A boy  in possession of an imagination
and no future
Who can still see a glimmer in the rust
buried in the abandoned steel works,
lost in  council’s regeneration
of a green field sites that now offers
the quest for a four leaf clover.
 
This gift can be a lonely thing
in a world of regimented minds.
Inspiration needs a partner
for every word is a journey.
Writing belongs to my addiction
and my love
for the glorious water of Scotland.
 
For a single malt can make a man hear
the ghosts from the past.
The fear of being the scruffiest lad at school
leaves a generals memory of war
bullies and a pregnant girls shame.
 

A school is a flag that I shall not pass
for its contents means nothing to me.
The wood that that lost its view
to the Stalag of  tomorrow’s drones
Can only cry in silence.
 
But I who was born in its shadow
found solitude and my fortress
Inside a tent of twigs
in a cold uncaring world.
 
My soul could never connect with
the wage packet teachers
who are as forgetful as me.
 
The boy who found his dreams
In the cover of the oak.
Whose presence still remembers
the torn book of Sassoon
thrown  into  the brambles discarded,
 as the generation within it was.
 
I am the voice whose audience was the wood
and applause came from imagination,
though the spirits of the past looked on.
The immortality of silence
is only a pretender.
For it shouts within my soul of past memories,
Of a  ghost  I do not know
existing in the denial of god.
 
A being that time cannot touch.
 And long after I am dead ,
the wind will carry this immortal  feather
and in its dance a ghost will be seen.
Looking for a stolen pencil
and a torn book that nobody reads.

Ashes Of Hate

Melting in the cauldron to feed, 
until later, I will seek you 
in parallel interpretations. 
Presently, thoughts are very disturbing. 
 
Human rights for animals 
caged in peals 
of god realization. 
I was thinking to quit the stage. 
 
Symptoms are horrific. 
Neoplasm was spreading. 
I am scared of the plague. 
 
Sweet corns of sex: 
million pieces smile, 
drained out healing? 
 
Who will save the river? 
Discharges are crippling 
the soft limbs, 
the truth. 
 
Man walks, shudders, falls 
wants to rise again, 
from the ashes of hate.

The temptation of being near to her

There is something in how she looks at me and looks away again
and I think aloud Satan, Lucifer, demon, devil be gone
 
as she is going to seduce me with her summer sunshine laughter
in the twilight, dark night or bright day
 
with her eyes that glitter when she notices me
and I wonder if God does provide such lovely girls
 
with her walking away that continually whispers promises
and her voice that falls sweetly on my ear
 
but when she stands right in front of me
and talks to me my breath is taken away
 
and I notice a small muscle jumping, jumping in her throat
and her snow-white teeth, her hands, freckles and feet is something
against which I do not know how to resist
and then she brings her lips right against mine.

Your walking away is measured in watt

Your walking away is measured in watt.
Not the 1100 p.m.p.o. of a door slamming shut behind you
that are opened and slammed again
but it is the pattering gait that just can be heard
and the whisper of satin
when you do go to our bedroom
and welcoming the door stays open
when continuously the fourteen-day rain does softly fall
and flames hiss at the fireplace and wood gleam red from the heat
while Steve Hofmeyer on the Kenwood music system
does sing sadly like Neil Diamond
and candles burn romantically at the bath
like a Jewish candlestick that welcomes the Sabbath
and does announce the beginning of the year of jubilee
where everything is again nice and right
to far into the future
and no children or grandchildren
do bring resistance in their visiting multitude
and you and I are alone
like Adam and Eve
when they did noticed each other for the first time.

Pill

Stay away from the main road 
Subhumans are coming. 
Face of black spiders, long arms 
creeping, hopping. 
 
The green blood and burning sticks; 
gateway to moon 
sun decides to vanish. 
 
Confronting the flesh makes you clenched snake, 
lymphocytes start crowding 
death was drawing near. 
 
A fawn wanders without mother 
pink eyes, trotting on grass, 
syndicated trackers are circling. 
 
End or means? What you choose, 
will decide the future of man. 
Let the flame become nameless. 
 
A cupped beak and hairy thighs 
climb on the rock 
to squander the seeds. 
 
Clouds are gathering at distance 
I may not wait for the rain. 
I am going to swallow the pill.

In the garden (ABECEDARIUM)

Annoyed the small girl turns to him and says: “Oh no.”
Bees do fly around her in the garden.
Caesar stands in front of her
dangling a wooden sword in his hand,
 
eager to come to her defence.
Followers to come to their aid do not exist.
Great numbers of vicious bees want to sting them.
He hits a few as enemies down.
 
Ibises fly up frightened and screaming
just when a whole swarm of bees want to sting them.
Keen-witted he drags her away by the hand.
“Leave us alone you demons,” he screams.
 
More and more bees fly venomously nearer,
nowhere there is any escape
“Obviously we are going to loose this battle,” his princess says anxious.
Pacify they cannot the enemy.  Who is the wretched
 
quisling that have betrayed them to the foes?
Racing, their hearts beat and they cannot guess while the enemy swish nearer
sting and buzz and they have got to
take defeat and fall back.
 
Unarmed against the enemy they flee to the protection of the
villa with its huge windows
where no bees can reach them and like a real
Xanthippe mother yells at them to get out of the
 
yard where it has become very dangerous.
Zulu, the Maltese poodle continually does howl outside.

Cranium

They entered the genome of enemy 
to hide agoraphobia 
I will be tortured now 
by hanging man. 
 
A loaded belief; 
being with crocodiles was safe. 
How far we swim in reverse currents? 
The moon will annihilate us. 
 
There was fear for dwelling in hateful ripples. 
It was the gift of rivals, 
a phenomenon of sacrfice for the lamb. 
 
Not being with the times, you walk heavily, 
waking stones in blood. 
It was too late to ask for the pain – killers. 
 
The language does not help. 
The words trot clumsily. 
You search the solace in coarseness 
protecting cranium.

Ancient Address

Black emptiness. 
Death opens like a flower, 
somebody is walking in. 
 
You think of a soft punishment 
for becoming faithless. 
It was becoming a way of life. 
 
Unlimited agony of wait 
something to happen. 
Nothing is heard in the field. 
 
No shots. No kill. 
Your day was over. 
Night descends like a puzzle. 
 
Grey cornea on the white lens: 
clouds are playing a game, 
mist has a smoky smell. 
 
A city sleeps at last. 
A poem I will not read. 
It was my ancient address.

Poem: This Broken Road

I had been sadly blinded
by my sinful misery,
listening to Life pass by;
Would I, be able to see

the Love that You had bestowed?
I’m stuck on this broken road;
restore my vision today,
as my purpose has been slowed.

I was like Bartimaeus,
waiting for Christ to find me;
unto Him, I cried and called;
He lovingly met my plea.

He greeted me where I was,
shunned by the neighborhood crowd;
transfixed, I stood before Him,
with my spirit, humbly bowed.

With gentleness He then spoke:
“Son, what’s your heart’s desire?”
When I quickly answered Him,
my spirit caught Faith’s fire!

Surprised, I rose to my feet,
as my sight was now restored;
astonished, with thanksgiving,
I embraced and praised… my Lord!

Today, I’m walking by Faith
even when I can’t see it;
traveling this broken road,
prepared Your great will for me.

Teach me Lord, Your Holy Writ
and to live with renewed Faith!
Knowing that Your Grace has flowed;
please lift me up, from my knees!

Future

Ugliness in pink flakes 
elopes with a terrorist. 
Sun bleaches the black scorn 
muscles ache with cramps. 
 
Full moon peeps through the veil 
of branches. Eucalyptus sways 
in majestic conception. 
Time to exude honey. 
 
A perfect discrimination against 
the trees. A painful ulcer on tongue 
bleeds, pure as the malignant pain. 
I will not talk about existence. 
 
The shadow of god crops up. 
Foolish dolls play the game. 
Subjectivity has frills to counter 
the drive of madness. 
 
Anguish becoming responsible 
to deliver the particles of imagination, 
which move faster than death. 
Future of man was in peril.

Just for a moment it is there

Just for a moment it is there, the lightning bolt that falls
and the smell of something that burns and melts next to a puddle
from where the blue spark bright blinding touches and reach
and with a terrible thunder suddenly roars
 
with fear on the faces of my child, my wife
that just where I am standing
that lightning bolt does menacing fall.
In that moment’s blinding blue light
 
while a terrible rainstorm pours down
and I do shake like a reed
I do know that such moments does not linger
but you can take them out of your thoughts again
 
just like moments of bliss and happiness
where the touching, the colour, the sound and smell does remain
and etched you can find that moment again
from where like old letters you do fold them up and keep them in a small box.
 
When more lightning bolts slam down my ears are tingling and ringing
while I run to where the woman and child is waiting on the porch
and in the garden its twilight, almost night
where the woman and child are both crying from emotion.

The Stings

He was not ready 
for a stash of negligees 
put up by moon, on the trees. 
 
A hanging valley drops the pretense 
meets the river on the way 
for a rendezvous. 
 
Nymphs are flying randomly 
against crystals of stars 
blank night asks for nothing. 
 
Sometimes hallucinations are welcome 
when it is too hot inside 
and the life sucks madly. 
 
It was all very puzzling 
the nudes in mirrors, 
the stings in prayers. 
 
Leaning against the wall 
gives a scope for existence 
remember, the desires are many. 
 
the separateness was the idea 
to put the damper on shouts 
we are not, what we willed.
