This morning is awkward.
The sun is not rising at all.
My pain is turning into an ******,
My breath is slowing down,
And my thoughts are numbing.
Eileen is standing up
In the other side
Of the river;
Looking north.
It becomes more absurd:
The river has been flooding
Constantly
For three years.
The water never reached me.
I was told the desert disappeared
Ever since.
I am still watching my feet.
My worry about Eileen
Interrupts my attraction to my dry feet.
She is always in my mind;
Even we never met, and
We never talked.
My obsession of my feet
Turned into an obsession of Eileen.
Time dissolves in the flatness of the space
Eileen dissolves all the absurdities.

This is a mission statement
About some known absurdities
I am calling for a placement
Of protection from cat burglaries!
This is not a victimless crime
As any cat owner will attest
Cat owners love their cats so much
When taken there should be an arrest!
What's that you say? Oh, I see that's
A problem of a different kind!
It's not actually about cats
Oh well, I guess then never mind!

Ink Hues On A Winding Road
Chapters turning
Leaves falling
Story telling
Intrigued animation serine
Deeper in every page sink beneath
Verge of complex themes
Rewrite unbound verses
Limitless parallel rendered
Lost in absurdities
Books for miles dusty planted in libraries
Sophisticated torrent
All the effort is worth it
Writers block
Brainstorming your thoughts
Achieve novel narratives
Ink hues on a winding road
Written passionate
The love of poetry
Turn every page, uncertain mystery
Dig deep, unfold in suspense journey
Walk with the author on the other side
With greenish sunsets with mint coffee

Poetry Misunderstood
Instrumental music flows through me
Coffee is soothing
Writing poetry is therapeutic
I didn’t invent the pen
Mind racing, document waves perspective
A melody journey
Paper writer purity
For we are misunderstood
Deep thinkers
Limitless potential
Creative sculptures
Vision absurdities
Ink bleeding
Candles burning
Beautiful scenery
Pictures travel photography
Paint a master piece
Heaven hues with golden shades
Many colors ablaze
Outlandish vast array
The love of poetry
Write a short story
Document your own journey
Sink loftily into the night
Mysteries on every page
