I am sure


Newspapers tell many stories
while I soak them in a bowl of water
the stories fade and sink
and then three days later 
I paint new stories with pink

I saw a little boy once
while he played with a spinning wheel
I counted the cups in the sun
and tea that steamed in the clay cups
made every story  heal

The streets around my home are narrow
while I walk looking around
the puppies follow me everywhere
and when I hide to lose them
they suddenly forget why they were there.

Now I dont search for 'that' something
while I know that its out there
it doesnt really matter anymore
and I dont really need to care
because you were not here before.

to the nightmare


and if you come to me as a wall
i shall change the direction of my crawl
if i fail to reach your end
i will end my reach to you

and if you come to me as a flower
i shall keep you in my album 
when the photos will grow pale and yellow
you shall still be blooming around

and if you come to me as a madman
i will shoot myself in the head
if i fail to forget your madness
i will be the madness that will count.

but i dont want you to come as anything
i dont want to know your name
i dont want to know you exist
because you remind me the longest sleepless night.

nightmare

truth with one portion of guilt may taste better
and when its almost drunk
you see sediments of fear that wait for the climax
tea leaves can wait for another life
