"the baron's declaration"


The celebrated Munchhausen
announced to the town council
that he had recently returned
from a perilous expedition
across the vast expanse
between the windowsill
and the fruit bowl.

He described the journey
as “gruelling,”
citing unpredictable terrain
(a crumpled napkin),
hostile wildlife
(a mildly curious sparrow),
and the treacherous crossing
of the ...

Do you still see me
Do you see the things I do
When I think that you’re not looking
And if you see them
Why do you say nothing

Do I still look at you
Do I see who you’ve become
And who it is you are
When your gaze is averted
Do I see who it is
I sleep beside?

Untouched, unseen
Quietly unknown
But not unloved

How do you see the world
When you look out
Is it a rising chorus 
O...

In alone I scroll,

Away from the crowd and rays of the sun
are the moments I cherish the most,
It is when, your wisdom
outbreaks from the dam of your lips,
which usually gurgles teases, jokes and laughter

you voice your
dreams and aspirations
painting a rainbow
on the dark night's sky,
and somewhere else aswell...

as well as your insecurities
in a sober expression...

It cuts deep within,
Its' touch gentle and soft.
It barks and howls,
Its' voice lovely and calm.

Its' thoughts are demeaning,
Its' love unconditional.
Its' presence a weight,
Pride churned in the ridicule.

It beats you to your knees,
But your kneecaps don't agree. 
You stand on your feet,
While the blades stab in deep.

The scars show malformity,
Yet the face shows ever delight.
