Nigra Persepolis

Your smile is so contemptuous

it seeps through your eyes

that are the shape of footballs

the kind the Americans devised.

Your eyes, they reek of agonizing mystery

Mysterious like flowing river

With no end and no beginning

with a little past, but more history

Troublesome, those troubled eyes

they make me wonder endlessly

However did they come to be

that they even did come to be

Your eyes, grey like dark monsoon clouds,

pregnant with disarming emotion;

conniving, piercing, charming, devout

a delightfully confusing concoction

Message In A Bottle

It lays exposed

hair, blood and bones

and flesh cut open into a few

bits and pieces for you to peruse

Do you see me now, girl?

Let me help you cover up

all that dirt and grime

(look how they rhyme!)

life once again is a bloom

That man, the hero, your groom

But like the pink elephant in the room

is something nagging at you?

What are you going to do?

My love, what are you going to do..

Look at that carcass, baby

Don't take your eyes away

if you look closely

you can see life fadin' away..

I hope you find peace

You deserve that at least

Let love envelope your soul

Be patient, kind and bold

Friend or Foe?

What do you mean to me?

Are you a friend or foe, dear friend?

Should I wallow in regret?

Should I cover my face in shame

for being led astray..

Just hold on a second, wait..!

Did I do the things you said?

Did I open the forbidden door

of passion and lust galore?

Did I set sail in the in the river of love

away from me, myself, alone?

Did I really set fire to you,

did I really have that glass of wine

that temptation, all too sweet and divine?

I see you now, dear stranger

passing visitor, crazy whore

Are you my friend or foe?

I'm not too sure anymore..
