I carry usless wishes
that perturb my thoughts heavey sacks of
memories disturbing my peace frightening
the occassion with dilated pupils...The Owl of my nights
reminds me of sorrows of the past that's gone
Pointless ideas now nest in the pillow of yesterdays
dreams like phantoms emerging from the dephts of the unconcious
subterranean rivers or deep wells consuming the water of
caves silent roots turbulent questions that don't disapear
Desires at the edge of my being flickering the thoughts,
the wishes to touch you and to have you in the now...
These usless desires that matters while lasting
like a shooting star. I am carring my soul, dreaming
while awake in the silent hours of life , trying to sleep!
