My Paradise

Oh! How I yearn roaming my paradise

Where tranquil breezes caress my neck

As birds whisper lover’s sweet melodies

Hair on my body bend to your touch

Like coconut trees drunk on the wind

Like algae hypnotized by ocean waves

Hasten the sunset, my Shangri-la calls

Passionate chases of white footprints

Genuine laughter, so naïve, so infantile

Irresistible Venus de Milo, my nirvana

Voluptuous butterfly lips enticingly wet

Faithful clock lost its count, mesmerized

Suns shamelessly hide behind ocean lines

Witnessing lucent moon’s magical dance

Aborning here in my arms, my paradise

rapadoo,

Mannequin She

At winter garden across our window

Nightmares hunt palm trees and snow

Sleeping on the rigid river, drooling

**\/**

Here under these ebony comforters,

Cold passion rejects sparks of desire

As our stereo every rhapsodic tune

**\/**

She feels nothing like a cold statue

But how frigid and dismissive she is

Her blank stare frozen on the ceiling

**\/**

Shards of untold chronicles of deceit

Decorates our room and bed of rocks

Forbidden secrets cast out of Eden

**\/**

Pillows of thorns crowning my skull,

Maybe I should have worn a helmet;

She ate the keys to my handcuffs

Rapadoo,

Drowning

Naturally, I became the falling rain

Gushing down like infuriated bees

Seeking to inflict maximum reprisals

Inside the dreams of her betrayals

~~!~~

But eventually the rain is the pain

Forty days and forty nights of acid

Deteriorating any signs of benevolence

Spilling my pride into endless ripples

~~!~~

Then suddenly more pain yields no gain

My mind captures some roses, sinking

I see her face vanishing into my anguish

She’s a shooting star; I, a lunar eclipse 

~~!~~

Numbness obsesses over muddy emotions

Forbidding luminance of tomorrow’s sky

Now rain, pain are drawn to disdain

So naturally self-destruct, I drown

Rapadoo,
