Love in Translation
I have gambled more than I have learned;
my endless compromise for Lust
Have you ever seen this show before?
Jupiter, she's the lead dancer.
few know that she's diagnosed with cancer, it's all
corporeal, and it's still indecent for the condemned soul
to parade around in a Victoria's Secret thong,
George touched her breast once;
it was as if Iron Maiden was a goddess,
Centaura is half Puerto Rican soltera;
Mercury will eat out Barbie under
the condition that Brian gets to watch.
I remember, those days, when we would fuck until dawn
Ida was the best lover I ever had!
I guess I have matured significantly since then,
but that sweet Candy is always on my mind!
Reverie
Rotten grapes, feeling angry—
That's what dreams are made of.
Driving through the stake of impurity
to those souls that were lost
on their way to the stores.
Drop down. A handmaiden
distraught with love's dimensions,
sings of chances
of modern disgraces,
fallen upon deaf minds.
Dream on little poppy and follow
drink's lust.
Run wild on facets of kindness.
Gesticulation draws masochism near
and dandies can master their trade.
As we thrive on past glances,
forward movement can't kill,
too much over-rot led to this
in the first place.
Confessions of a Cuttlefish
I am no more than large grey-matter—
A mere system of neurons scattered
over a mass of malleable electric skin.
Yet, these tiers of pigment and melatonin
give me no discernable character.
My octopi brethren too have eight members.
Yet, in this expanse of remarkable nature,
it is I who fail to make a novel impression.
I am no more than…
a weak mimic of a reef or seaweed. I fire
off synapses with some deficient desire,
and think, It is of no use… this great vision!
It is limited by my methods of communication,
these florescent flashes, mere fading flickers.
And so, I am no more.
