POEM 55
I AM NOT ALONE
I am not alone,
Angel of death
haunts me
ever following...
worries consume
fire flames
burning in my heart.
I am not alone...
Suspicious life
shadows
always are lurking
trying to avoid
myself
running to and fro.
I am not alone...
Person possessed
seeking
longing for refuge
seeking a place
none see
even death's angel .
So what to do....
In dreams I walk ....
free as the wind
circling
restrictions gone
released by darkness.

POEM 56
FUTURE
If today
true is the meaning
of yesterday's dream...
Then the hungry
no joyous future seek
mournful the life
fighting for survival.
_____
POEM 57
MONEY
Earth revolves...
from the dawn
till setting sun
On money.
To give or take
people want
people need
just money.

POEM 58
SELF DESIRE
Outside...
Yet unseen
The one
great name
brave heart
Inside...
today seen
The one
so cruel
nameless
... myself
_____
POEM 59
ONE SIN
A wish ...
That this one sin
This heart's desire
finally will drown
in my tear's flood
washing away
as wind and sands
destroy mud houses.
For I can not jump
the width of love's ocean
that fill those eyes
which keep me
forever swimming
perhaps soon to drown
in their beauty..

POEM 60
FAITH OF LOVE
If submission bowing
like before God
were allowed
In that same submission
before that love
I would bow
Though she a temple filled
by heartlessness
self serving

POEM 61
WHO COULD SING HAPPY SONGS?
Who could sing happy songs…
Children at play
future their hopes
merely moments
all illusions
Who could sing happy songs…
Cooks can create
wonderful dishes
never to taste
bitter poison
Who could sing happy songs…
Bride of time past
beautiful spring
keeps on crying
lonely widow
Who could sing happy songs…
The seasons changing
always moving
peace prosperity
a question mark
_____
POEM 62
MADNESS
So Far from you...
I am lost...
At the limit
extreme the fate
I walk in sleep
yet my eyes
open they seem
I am lost...
Slave of my dreams
lost in the depths
of love's madness
yet my eyes
open they seem
_____
POEM 63
BLIND WORLD
In this world
no spark of light
darkness...
No sun rise
sunset long gone
darkness...
Deaths to soon
two loves buried
darkness...
World gone blind
indifference rules
darkness...
All will enter
none can escape
the grave.
_____
POEM 64
QUESTION MARK
On one hand...
A fountain of torment
the desire of so many
still thirsting
just one sip
out of reach ...
every mans death...
On the other hand
Fountains over flowing
these water laden bodies
beyond reach
refusing desire
these women drown
lost to our wanting.
