Make believe
Make believe
cover your eyes and count
to ten
Make believe
open your eyes and look
at me
Show me what you think
I’ll show you what I think
We’ll see each other
in a land of
make believe
So many happy happenings
to find, to have, to be
For make believe
is what we
believe in

Playground
They asked what love is
I asked what life is
We looked at each other
like children in a playground
asking questions we couldn’t answer
We giggled
we loved
we lived
That is all we did
that is all we needed
that is all
That is all

One candle at a time
The winds of change
will shift the sands of time
but will never, ever blow out
the candles of love
Sleepless, I lay in bed
wishing upon a white ceiling
to have you set free
and for my heart
to capture you
Set sail to the stars
let your ego drown
let your hope surface
let your humility take charge
Without light
a heart is dark
and in disarray
Let me take you

Intelligentsia
See and be seen
know and be known
It’s the game of society
we play
Run like a champ
avoid the chimps
A few tips
for sounding intelligent
When someone says something, nod ever so slightly, as if you’re agreeing, then stop as if you’re disagreeing. A subtle frown might add to the effect.
When someone mentions the “government,” look distressed and say “1984.”
Quote Oscar Wilde whenever someone talks about literature.

A song, untitled
A song, untitled
about a star
goes like this
A fallen angel
her wings of fame
were now of shame
Cocooned by her wings
she wept her worry
with no hurry
A corpse of fame past
lifeless, like roadkill
A life, untitled
carried away
by carrion crows

Doors
The doors open
the seats are soiled
the faces are sullen
I touch the cold, steel bar
I hold on to it
The doors close
the train moves
every shudder travels up
my arm
Faces unknown to me
or to one another
show nothing
hide everything
The train stops
the doors open
Faces move
some towards the light
far above
others to another train
deep down below

Have a nice day, now
Scribbles on a McDonald’s napkin
thoughts so far and so near
from McArabia to McGreek
and Big Macamericana as well
Carbs
proteins
fats
minerals
and vitamins
These things of life
will not be so
if not for
water
So here’s a Coke
for it’s got
water
Have a nice day, now
_Note: I haven’t sold out to corporates. In fact, if anything, I’d encourage a healthy, balanced diet of coffee and chocolate.

Beauty found
Happiness he sought
into a dream he slipped
A dream so fanciful and all
like clouds so high up
Skies upon skies
A trance of faith
and hope
and courage
embraced his being
By divine mirth
his ego was no more
for he was one with all
Higher, he rose
ergo, he saw
further
below
The good amongst the scum, he saw
the strong amongst the weary
the saints amongst the sinners

The other side
In her mortal cage
she scurried
from one end
to another
She read it all
left none
well alone
trying, hoping
to find a raison d’être
I am to be, she said
as I am
forever perhaps
for a day perhaps
Until one day
the bars of her cage
were no more
Until one day
she was
on the other side

Happy to have met you
In the garden of life we met
Hello, we said
In a summer of love we came
set aflame we were
In the garden of life
love we found
Happy, happy together
happy to have
met each other

Infomania
Nymphomania?
No, no! INFO-mania
Oh, I see
what is it then?
Blackberry
push email
get through
push me out of sleep
out of hours and days
out of life
Sacrifice all for some crack-
berry
Answer quick
always on
but switched off
Neither here
nor there
Always trying to make
one last check
until the end of days
when nothing crosses the ether
When signals are no more
when all’s gone forever

Like honeydew
Honey and dew
a glass for each
one pours into the other
Drink! They say
Drink! From life and to life
vessels of success are close
drink, dear friend, drink!
And so she drinks it all
lives it all
day and night
night and day
I live, she says
not by my own word
but by that of others
of whimsical fancy
and of
delinquent disdain
Half full or half empty

City of dreams
Welcome to our city
of dreams
of temptations and mastications
and fabrications of fornications
Nothing
but emptiness it might seem
Judge not
for big it is
small it is
and all it is too
All will be clear
Laid out on the streets of our city
truth
is never lost
lies
are clear as day
Fakery and trickery
concrete and glass
all the better
in a city
of dreams
High-rise and low-rise

Escape
Do we love to love
or do we love to live?
To feel that which is part life
part eternity
A certain escape of the self
that is both
nothing and infinite
Our own little parade in the vastness
of the universe
Yet we remain as we are
one and many
many and one
Only to be taken once again
into the depths of the universe

All the things that have and will be
From the very first time computers said hello to each other, to the internet as we know it today, their seems to be no limit as to what we can find halfway across the world.
In his The YouTube Poem_,_ Robert Bruce writes:
It seems
there is now nothing
I cannot witness
