The ugly flamenco dancer

23-11-2010

Standing with the dignity of a dying lioness
She gained some weight on her buttocks
She takes off her head scarf
Tying it around her waist,
In a coordinated tempo, she dances
Spinning in a calculated speed,
Panting heavily and falling
holding her chest tight,
She closes her eyes

Agnus Dei

21-10-2010


When they don’t smile to marsh music anymore
They have many names that you can call them with
Some are carved on the gravestones

When the skies awaits the human calling
At the time of sunrise
They fly and challenge the falcons
They spit in their eyes

Till their eyes are force to shut

A black corset on the red couch

9-10-2010

Red trees,
Blossoming in the fall,
Your favorite spot for a photo shoot,

Stumbling when her photo is taken
You strongly laugh
Her face frowns
She smiles then laughs

If we meet,
It’s because of love
Not because of the hate for the other

Pavane for the dead price

15-9-2010

River floating down the mountain
As a mother crying on her daughter’s wedding

With a drunken man’s passion to sleep
You are thrown on the bed

A lighthouse,
Spinning the light monotonously,
You are kept awake still

When you were young,
The backyard seemed like the great woods
Having “all what you can get” fun,
Till it’s time to sleep

Dancing with the gods

14-7-2010

You hear her steps
on the cobblestone
in the last 3rd of the night.

You see her from 1000 feet away
Wrapping a silk blue scarf around her hair.

In a glimpse of a moment
Lights lit
I took a picture,
She disappears.
It’s the moment you remember
That you are just a human being

Swimming in still waters

06/06/2010

Walking with the same pace, in the same spot
avoiding your shadow
Till the sun is lid
forcefully, attracted to fight it
Fight and you shall win
And sometimes defeated

Eventually a chapter ends
continuing to avoid your shadow
Till you change your spot

The Night of counting the years

31-5-2010

What you don’t see in this world
Is symmetrical faces

From a day spent with the sea salt
Torn lips meet to moisturize

You finish your drink
To be 86’d*

*86’d could mean you have fallen from 86 steps in some bars or could indicate the change of proof in Alcohol from 100% to 86% proof upon the drinker getting intoxicated.

Prelude

17-5-2010

The flamboyant red color
That attracts a child,

Red bands decorating your shoulder
Celebrating your graduation,

The red suits that adorns your body
You walk naturally
To be hanged by the neck

A return trip by a bus

12-5-2010

The distilled whiskey
Bleeding by the drop from the bottle,

That thin boy,
Greeting you with a handkerchief
After you depart the bathroom,

What you expect from the other
Is what doesn’t happen,

In some of us,
There is a part of something

Half god
Half men

And all love.

A Forest on the river bank

10-5-2010

Cover our eyes
So the angels won’t witness our sins

Let’s pray for the Greek gods
So our prayers will feed their mortality

For those who look shamelessly to the ground
Instead of apologizing

The rose remains dead
In the blue vase
With a sound of accordion in the background

The Message

2.4.2010

crossing her standing legs
on the beach
In a mid overcast day
stung by the cold water
That felt hot
Knowing that she wouldn’t depart her place
Unless carried on her back

On a roof top, downtown, Winter

23-3-2010
1:30 AM


In a family gathering;
Everyone chitchatting

All what he desires;
Is his friends wife

They all were infected;
By some kind of deafness

Not listening to;
Except what they desire

There are still some beautiful beings;
Who clap for the piano player;
After every piece

It’s not our time to meet yet

3-8-2010

A girl that can’t bare children
Sitting at the bus station
Waiting for bus 2412
Remembering that day
When we leaned against that tree
In an early morning
Kissing life
While the sun lightens up her freckles
Then she remembered,
Some are beautiful
Some are ugly
And some are in-between

The Green Dress

15-1-2010

The comfort of the reflected light on a mud colored shirt
Passing through the window

The smell of fresh morning bread;
While lying down in primitive thoughts

Passing by her;
She greets you with her wet hair

Her shy laugh,
That hides the defects;

Dreams die before they rise;
On a day, like this one

The Girl with the brown hair

28-12-2009
To: Lavinia

When we played together
On the Green Grass
That is washed with rain

That smell
Stemming from the cut-flower
which aroused me to kiss you

childishly, you play
you fall and get grumpy
Then you smile in Fun

I Remembered
Remembered myself
Remembered you

When we sat down in the shade
To enjoy the sun
