• Great Poetry of Ages was born and sold on the corners of napkins,
  • Dusty taverns and forgotten dinner parties,
  • Where the lights went out.
  • If only it all existed in dreamy fragments,
  • Still existed - if the dead were living.
  • Some words burnt, were forgotten, tucked in pockets, washed away,
  • Words that were heard were rejected,
  • Words were silenced, even. Silenced now by death.

-

  • Dressed in sunlight, in nothing, red dress,
  • Highlighting the gem stones, her eyes,
  • Which flicker 'tween the image and the silence of her thoughts.
  • A Paradise of poetry untold.
  • While he writes lines on her sunkissed skin,
  • And she decides that "the red dress will do just fine".

-

  • Look how they praise, all in lines.
  • What is praise if it is linear?
  • They are searching for paradise,
  • But they are finding nothing.

-

  • The phone rings and there is no response.
  • It rings again,
  • Nothing.
  • But it will never stop ringing.
  • The phone rings.

-

  • Murky waters brought us in to being,
  • We were born in mud,
  • And clambered from the sea, inferior.
  • Our palaces, now, disguise,
  • The dirt on our faces.
  • For we have learned to dwell,
  • In glamorous places.
  • The depths of the oceans,
  • Are going to die.
  • But no rain of fire,
  • Will fall from the sky.
