like a dragonfly
i zip through fallen petals
looking for beauty
looking for beauty
i finally found it in
the shape of your smile
the shape of your smile
is carved with geometric lines
with angles so steep!
with angles so steep
gladly I fall into you
letting go the rope
letting go the rope
she lunged to catch me, my hand
and won the trapeze
they said I could not
write briefly in poetry
so here it is done
so here it is done
you are grown and gone, my son
is your soul finished?
is your soul finished?
is your soul in the heaven
or purgatory?
or purgatory
is that where we'll end at last?
death's conflagration
death's conflagration
extinguished by chilling hail
life frozen by life
life frozen by life
glacial expressions, slowly
melting in the north
melting in the north
slush spread all over the place
penguins danced with joy
penguins danced with joy
Antarctic peninsula
of musical steps
of musical steps
of sonorous instruments
tango and violin!
life frozen by life
left sensing brazen chills
in their manner borne
in their manner borne
in their ways and style brought up
men cannot be apes
men cannot be apes
but some act like gorillas
pounding hairy chests
pounding hairy chests
should not frighten you, my dear,
apes are loving guys!
apes are loving guys!
family men in the jungle
protecting their young
protecting their young
killing them as well when in
a rut,,oh, these lions!
a rut, oh, these lions
lying in the shade all day
twitching their long tails
twitching their long tails
yawning at the sight of none
lions are weird creatures
lions are weird creatures
and the hyenas know it!
that's why they're laughing!
that's why they're laughing
showing their monstrous teeth
ready to gore prey
ready to gore prey
the rhino's horn, sharp as a
freshly sharpened tack
freshly sharpened tack
pierced my heart through and through
and you smiling there!
and you smiling there!
makes me want to pinch your cheeks
or at least kiss you
or at least kiss you
before you've gone off to war
pistol at your side
pistol at your side
but nobody to shoot at
what a war it is?
what a war it is
with children shooting other
children who shoot back
children who shoot back
in newspaper photochgraphs,
showing their worst side
Showing their worst side
in-laws acting like out-laws
oh, the shame of it ;)
forget and forgive,
let no bitter flood consume
your sweet lilting lips
where the hey'd that come from?
oh, the shame of it,
the stolen sliver kisses -
your whiteness breaks leaves
your sweet lilting lips~
siren song luring me to
scylla and charybdis
scylla and charybdis
would at least end the role of
sisyphus i play
Sisyphus i play
roll the rock up and then down
oh, this is madness!
oh, this is madness!
leery, I plunge into storm
I will die tonight
I will die tonight
if I can't have chocolate
then what will I dream?
then what will I dream
where will i find the rabbit
hole to fantasize?
hole to fantasize?
here is one inside this tree
crawl in here with me
