Sad Empty EyesSomehow,
Those empty eyes
staring back through the glass
They just seem to laugh
At all that I am.
And they seem to see
The person I wish I could be
But somewhere,
Beyond the reflection
Is a soul
Who doesn't know
Who,...

The world is suchlike a pomegranateThe world is somehow a pomegranate
Every individual of us in it is the seeds
Having stayed similar to juicy tastes
Holding together long yawning for grace
Dreaming to germinate in the spring breeze
And to grow...

A Pocketful of SunshineThey come with pockets full of sunshine,
yellow pills like dying stars,
scattered along Kensington’s broken spine—

time for re-joice to be embraced
sounding the depths of dignity traced
empty shell cracked...

Wilderness
Out of soft dreams we leap.
With a strange cadence.
As if to a beat.
Lock step metropolis crawl.
Hot on the blood trail.
