Dream n.: a state of abstraction

I love that room,

paintshopped by hand

Every layered addition,

a work of personal art

You make me happy with your

composed sense of intricate humour

Are you aware nobody (else) seems to understand?

Go easy on the furnishings, though

They have a tendency to explode

Distraction n.: collapse from vision overload

..

Aging conquest

Show me your lines

And I show you forty-something reasons

To stop dressing up the years 

..

In my own defence

I am weak

And I am strong in execution

I hide behind my pretence

Not to notice

Solely for reasons of uncertainty

I do not know your name,

Your real name,

Through eyes that speak

Of pain and suffering,

Of want and need

A question unasked

An answer not given

A soul is missing

Its counterpart

And I am weak

In forgiving

My facing away

..

Evading art

There’s an emergency exit

on the cover

of every single book I read

And I turn the handle

that breaks me free

from the jacket 

that is my disguise 

..
