Warfare
Language, religion,
poverty, greed
are the causes
of many an
inhuman deed.

Warm Thighs
It matters not, my friend to me just who you are,
a reputation of acclaim preceded you,
like Doktor Faustus wearing robes, a modern Czar,
you make me shiver as I feel the secret dew.
As for myself, I did enjoy the lustful tone
of sagging springs inside the mattress as you drummed.
I say that Phallus, then as rigid as a bone
would hear the farewell of Carmina as she hummed.
The song of honeysuckle, as it spills with ease
to be awaited by a tremulous, moist tongue.
Oh Priapeia, let us rest beneath tall trees
and taste of waters where the nightingale has sung.
Immersed in streams like rowdy hooligans in May,
with silver pouches bursting wildly at the seams,
in steepled grace both hands embracing as they pray
warmed by soft thighs and extraordinary dreams.

Waterfall
A waterfall is where much water
falls, by the laws of gravity.
But in itself it is a daughter
to a deluge, that's when they free
the overwhelming, naked forces,
namely when all the angels pee.
Light showers have much other sources
as they are made from countless tears,
shed by the ones who are quite dead
who live on clouds and show their fears
about the world and how, instead
of being good and true and kind,
worshipping him, their only God,
they lie and steal, stab from behind,
something that even Gods find odd.
Wherever in the world you search,
from Amazon right to the Gobi,
in the bordello or the church,
to Hashishsmokers in Nairobi,
you'll find all waterfalls in regions
where people live and do their sinning
and where exists no fond allegiance
with higher beings, but the grinning
dark fellow from the underground.
But, in the desert and the mountains
you will not find them just because
those isolated spots have fountains
of wisdom and they live by laws,
divinely given by Creation.
Thus it is clear that waterfalls
are tools to wreak annihilation
on those who do ignore His calls.
So watch, wherever you may roam,
the beauty of a waterfall
has hidden meaning in the foam,
and punishment will be for all.

Watery Escape
You stood there, next to me,
the rain came down as if to say, just go,
and off we went, you on my bony back,
we swam with fishes, crabs and a small gigolo
a seahorse coloured green with little eyes, all black.
We reached the island worn but full of sap,
and underwater we had opportunity to pee.
Only a seagull and a frigate took the rap.
