Sweet and Bitter Stuff of Wonder

an agreement poem
***
When I’m about to wake up, my fluffy kitten comes
Hops on my bed, turns on her purring;
Coils at my feet, then quickly moves,
And coils in opposite direction.
She comes before my waking
To secretly caress me,
For fear not to spoil me.
***
Beyond the roaring realms of sanity
A lesser god will rise to meet his fate
And trade conveniently with humanity
Most valued goods of flesh for pearls of faith.

a metamorphosis poem
***
it is so weird to discover
(and then remember vaguely)
you were once a child
you dragged behind you mom
nagging or chirruping without
a thought about tomorrow
because “tomorrow never comes”
–
today you simply know
(by magic, you believe in virtuality)
you ARE the mom
and terrible tomorrows wait for you
to cease you credit-pay and lose your home.
a containment poem
If
If winter traps us naked
into its frozen clutch,
The crispy tips of pines
will be as spikes
Defiling our flesh,
so blue,
so stiff,
so numb.
–
But if it tucks us gently
beneath its glowing shawl,
Those tips
will be the sparks
Refilling our joy,
of home,
of hearth,
of heart.

Freedom is…
“a matter of perspective” said a hero
And trotted on along his lonely road.
“closing the door” or “turning the page” poem

The Day I Realised I Was Cured
Once you went away with that stupid smile
That I always loved and
With those cheap lies
That I always foolishly forgave
Wearing your old transparent flatteries
That suited every girl
That suited every time;
Once I saw you off and paid your trip
Again
As usual;
The next morning turned into a day
And then into a sleepy afternoon;
And then
I simply realised that I don’t need you
And I have no thought for you.
I was cured finally.
there is my Muse: here. and that is what I did to блесна – пред погледа, в сърцето й и пред света:
1. supremacy
2. the feeling or idea that one is superior to others
3. th flng r d tht n s sprr t thrs
4. thrust newspaper redhot flung thought
5. toss press icy thrown senseless
6. a soul frozen and opressed
7. my soul is frozen
opressed by senses void
tossed beneath my mind
8. supremacy of mind
Моето хайку е:
supremacy of mind
my soul is frozen
opressed by senses void
tossed beneath my mind
Това е!
