Codename - The Kid

Oh you were sweet
And naïve
And gorgeous
Made me realize
That I am not ready
For younger men
Thanks

I needed the verb “oscillation”
and it came on the verge of frustration
since the word “undulate”
didn't quite fit the grade
for my new poetic creation

Codename – Archer

So thanks to you I’ve learned to hate the Ravens
By your sweet grace I’m a Steelers’ fan
That part was just to spite you
I didn’t even know about either team
Until you busted in
I also have a bow
And shoot it
Funny how the violence evaporates
And the mind goes blank
The indestructible arrow that you gave me
Has snapped
Not sure why I keep the pieces
Thanks

PokerFace

Whos' pride gets hurt
Whos' ego gets burnt
Who's the first to call
the first to crawl
Who'll let out a groan
As their hand grabs the phone
While the mind screams 'THINK!
You don't want to blink
You've been counting cards
And you hoard a few hearts
You may ruin your score
If you hasten the draw
So you stiffen your stand
Pray you hold better hand
Yet the doubt sets in
You don't care if you win
Throw it all, make the call
Pride be damned if you fall
But player's folded and gone
Left the chips and moved on

Darkly Dreaming Dexter

For as long as I live
My heart will be too empty to give
Anything else but material thing
And although my face seems to sing
Soul is emptier than a simple ring
An emptiness that surrounds my being

Dark clouds above my head
Every time my Dark Passenger is not fed
He won’t hesitate to come into my bed
Just to get his piece of death
He demands a flood
Of that sticky, ugly blood

Dark Passenger must be fed
A new victim must be found
Knife will spill his blood over the ground
And Dark Passengers voice will once again ring out in to the night
Justice is once more pleased, and so is my fight
Another “bad guy” disappeared of my sight

Special Lady

I know everybody likes to think they have the best mother,
but they're wrong
the best mother in the world is my mum,

I swear to you my mother is the best mother,
but why should you take my word for it, ask my sister or my brother,
When I was young and I was feeling helpless because I was sick,
She would come to the rescue with some soup and rub on some vicks,
I swear By Allah I love my Mother,

Shes the only one who would stick by me and never surrender,
When people said I couldn't, she said I could,
and when I got hurt, she would cry so much my living room would flood,
Masha'Allah I have the best mother,

And as long as I'm breathing I want to do everything in my power,
to make sure she never suffers,
because she did everything she could to see me smile and prosper,
even when she had a bloody hard day at work,
she would come in, smile and say 'What would you like to eat love? '

Flowers Are The Clocks Of The Light

Flowers are the clocks of the light.
Spring grey. Clouds. Half smoke, half crocus.
The rivulets are carrying last November's leaves away
like long lines of ants bearing the gnostic gospels
of the snow thawing into a spiritual life of water
back to the shrine of their colony
to be chewed over by the divines
masticating the mystery into something
like an edible orthodoxy of mystic impiety.

My heart is a bruised apple with purple blood today.
Neither passionate, nor aloof, clinging
nor unwilling to let go if that's what I must do.
One foot on shore. One in a lifeboat.
O what funny bridges we make as if
we were trying to balance the axis
of heaven and earth upon our nose
like the calves of giraffes learning to walk on stilts.
But there you go. What are you going to do?
That's the way it seems.
