Two poems


-Bullets in my brain-

Bullets in my brain
Oscillate...
A dead dog
Colors the pale highway
And sings

Choked drains
Desire earthquakes
Fireflies twinkling
In gloomy and profound valleys
Want longer nights


A rose wants
To taste blood, the other red
Calendars will never
Ever show dates again


-The unplugged-

The unplugged and the untouched
The inseminated bitch
And the castrated dog
Will party today

A few strangers in the bucket
From lands unknown, some even unheard
Talking jargon dreams
Will rock today

That, my friend, is definitely dark poetry..

But I still cant help but sense the silver lining, lingering on the edge...

i liked the second one more
but this stanza i liked the best:

A rose wants
To taste blood, the other red
Calendars will never
Ever show dates again

I liked : "Fireflies twinkling
In gloomy and profound valleys
Want longer nights."
It made me long for the cosy warmth of a winter night, sitting in a razai and sipping chai. You paint vivd word pictures. Nice :)
