A Walk Through The War Zone


we walk in slow
through the narrow streets
and the mystic alleys

hand in hand

the women stand,
with burned babies
in their arms

looking out
with electrocuted eyes
from behind the dark panes
hiding a few more scarred lives

the camera flashes
and we watch quietly
as their lips
slowly melt into
blood with crimson desires

peace has not visited this city
for many years now…

we walk
as the street lights
mould

slowly…

into mommies
of stone

standing…

their dark shadow
leaving a mark of the curse

the curse of a war
long won by the devils


on the castrated grass
bearing skeletons of bullets and mines
in their ugly geometry


the coffins
have long been buried

the trees
have long disillusioned
into the dark smoke
that veils the sun
in the sky now,

as the clouds
with only acid rain
to offer

the church lies vacant
with the crucified figure

tears of dust
in His eyes

we walk in slow

a tune
slowly breathes
its presence
on the wind

as the zombies
rise through the naked orifice
of the death lake

sculpting the
prayers of vengeance
on the strings
of a faded guitar

You Creep In...


you creep in

through the shallow crevice
in the night sky
disguised as the moon


you creep in

like the sun’s third eye
gliding through the waves
and waters


you creep in

like a young sapling
fracturing the crust
of this wounded motherland


you creep in
you creep in


you creep in

like the forgotten scents
through the reverberations
of malignant winds


you creep in

like these poems
through the dark pipelines
of psychosis


you creep in

like the psychedelic dreams
through the metaphors
of reveries and slumber


you creep in

as these words
through the narrow crevice
on the skin of my loquacious mind
