Onions close to the eyes


Burning desires which left painful ashes
Have been sprinkled on my tongue to lick
Bitter than gall what appealed to the nose
Which in a sneeze was forced out
And filled full the wind pipe
Oh now what winds followed these painful actions
Opened eyes which will acclaim others and not me
Goodbye said and well said
Should not be like onions close to the eye

If the heart speaks


If the heart speaks
The mind will follow
My heart spoke
Years before her heart spoke
Is there anything a man of honour shouldn't have?

Your love, my home


Beyond the white and green
Flowers bloom on the shelf
The red romantic candles
And the delicately painted
White sticks I see
Is what has made me whole
What has made this house mine
Your love, my home

What love is hate that loves


What love is hate that loves
That leaves the rest for you
Abandoned so early so shocking to be true
Hopes rely on that which is so thin
Can break that which is so precious
when abandoned, feeling sadder than horror movies

waiting for love in silence
not a word to send you away
will love come when I am gone
would I find love when away
closed lips and minds harboring a noisy confusion
ready to explode a single pierce

love for man blinds the mind
links the classes, races emerge in
love for man if not to the end
worse than before it began a rebirth of class and race

whom to tell that gall so bitter
no one to trust not even friends
seeing yourself wasting away slowly like a landslide
slowly your whole world you’ll see unfold
