She
wasn't sure what she wanted, but was certain
what she'd get.
She was
the mirror watching herself
and wrote her own part in the play
called life.
Moving was staying
alive and that
annoying whisper of faint memories was
quelled by continuous action.
A collector of
things she did not want,she'd
leave everything behind to stay
ahead of herself.

Disorderly personality
Being
A paranoid, schizoid, histrionic,
Narcissistic borderline, antisocial,
Anxious, dependent and insecure
With fits of mania
And streaks of depression
Has its advantages
Nobody can tell
Me
Who I am
The Flutterby
On jungle-paths, don't ask me why,
I see this creature flutter by,
so colourful beneath the sky,
so pleasing to the human eye.
A butterfly they call it, though,
a name I simply can't bestow,
as blunt an crude as it is slow
and nothing like this thing I know.
But if you take the fl- in fly
and add to utter as you try
to put the b before the y,
you'll end up with a flutterby.
This name I feel is much more right
for someone who can catch the light,
create from just the colour white
a beautifully coloured sight.
A flutterby in guise and grace
which fleetingly will flaunt its face
and fly with ever-changing pace
to greet the sun and summer days.

Declamation
I distrust
the moralizing preachers
with woes of chastity
to disguise their hopeless
lust
for endless orgasms
and knowledge.
I deny
the tyranny of angels,
their prophesies of what is
to become
of us some day
and when we die
we're one of them,
or not.
I despise
the scapegoat of religion
and the arrogant cry for afterlife
and hidden meanings
as if the wonders of the world
are never good enough
for somebody.

In the telling of the tale
I ask for water from your well,
and for the stories it might tell,
but if you want it to end well
it best be told by a Martell.
You pour me coffe and your tea,
but this is water foul to see,
and nothing looks so good to me
as shots of purest Hennessey.
You give me splurting ginger ale,
fermented leaves all harsh and stale,
though I have heard that any tale
which starts this bad will surely fail.
I drink my beer and bid for wine
altough the taste of Ballantines
could tell me stories of divine
that I could proudly claim as mine.
My mug is empty, I implore
of you to fill it up with more
of just whatever there's in store.
You say you've heard that tale before.
But this you have not heard, I beam
This story ain't the way you deem
'cause nothing here is like it seems
and logic is for happy dreams.
So pour me Irish Whiskey, and
a dash of every Scottish brand
and watch as randomness expands
and blends in perfect circumstance.

Bliss
A beauty stands right in front of me.
I just have to say: "It seems
as if it was time we met, you see,
you feature in all my dreams."
I want to, but surely won't.
I can't do it so I don't
I just have to raise my voice, you see.
I just have to turn my head,
a twist of the neck away from me,
but I shy away instead
pretending to have a choice.
I can't even raise my voice.
She lives just around the block, you know.
I just have to cross the street
and walk maybe thirty yards or so
if I wanted us to meet,
but it's nearly ,
and she lives around the block.
I could call her on the phone, I guess.
I just have to breath and dial.
I'll say that I got the wrong address.
She'll laugh and we'll talk a while.,
but what if she's not alone.
She might not pick up the phone.
So nothing will come of this, I deem.
I just ask about her name
so that I can put away my dream
when she asks me first -the same.
I answer: "My name is bliss,
and something may yet come of this."

Call me
Call me some day
if you can find the time,
and let me do the talking
I will pay every dime,
'cause I so need to speak,
and I so crave to say
one "hello" to a person
at least once every day.
Call me some time.
I can wait by the phone.
Even carry it with me
in the streets on my own.
My number is twelve
forty-four thirty-eight,
and I'll wait through the night
if you must call me late.
Call me someone
if you feel a bit sad
'cause my life is so empty
that yours won't seem half bad.
I plead you. Just call me.
I am all alone.
With no other friend
than my cellular phone.

99
I'll stand below your window
and there I'll truly spend
the time by calling out your name
a hundred days on end.
I'll wait for you in anguish
through every weary night
'cause I could never let you go,
but then again I might.
Untitled
I am so many persons, but
there’s always just this one,
and I have many faces though
the mirror gives me none.
The further that I travel from
this wretched status quo,
the faster I return to be
the person that I know.
I cannot change! I’m stuck with traits
that always reevolve,
and when I try to see myself,
the image just dissolves.
I’m organized as fluid points
set arbitrarily.
I’m characters combined to form
a shapeless entity.
The emptiness, it pulls me in,
it bites and beats and screams,
’cause what I know is not what is
and nothing’s like it seems.
I cry to you: "Who am I then,
who catches light this way?!
For am I just a fraction of
a passing solar ray?
Or am I more a hapless shape
of energy delayed?
Or did I happen as I am,
yes, was I even made?
You wear your best expressions while
I ponder in dismay,
and all you can is smile and shrug
’cause what is there to say?
