emotionless

emotionless
is what i feel right now
as if the shadow of
the sword of damocles

Is it an episode or a condition?

Asking myself in the kitchen
Can it be healed with a pill
When you go through that thrill
Will it make you wonder

Sonnet #66: Dog

He is the leader of the weakest pack
His female human is his only focus
Apart maybe his favourite healthy snack
It’s not depending on a special locus

Roughing Up

This is the place where we are born
Those are the ideas we learn
From relatives and friends
From the streets and from trends

Sonnet #5: Echoes

The sea arrives in calm at midnight shore
Please tell me frankly what you’ve got in store
When arm in arm my friend and I walk on
Because I truly care where we belong

PANIC! is futile

Relaxing prior to the storm
Slowing down my heartbeat grow
In stature create a pose
Ignoring negativity that blows
From outside the resting eye

Between Midnight and Dawn

She’s always standing at the corner / Between midnight and dawn
Her thoughts are drifting to noon next week / Always to the future

Scene noir

Lamp light from the other side / Of the street
Seen through the dirty glass / Of my window
