Thanks, my friends, in advance, for visiting.

a party
Castro smokes moulding cigars
drinks tequilas in the bars
with his friends from times long gone
world is moving on
Lenin laughs, doesn't know why
army officers pass by
blood has dried under the sun
it was so much fun
Kennedy comes in,with him
Monroe, snowwhite is her skin
jealousy is out of time
everything is fine

thought
not saying a word
can nonetheless mean
talking loud
-
sad
arrogance
is the mother
of failed understanding -
hatred
hatred
is a splinter in your heart
painful and hard to remove -
picture
a silent willow
bowing over a sandy path
consoling enjoyment
in silence -
waking up
the morning starts
hesitating
as if the waves
don't dare to touch the beach -
sunrise
the sweet kiss of sunrise
makes my heart beat
stronger,
smell of cherry blossom
underneath my window
spring,
I surrender -
spring
your eyes
travelled countless lightyears
your lips opened a thousand doors
and I was a glacier
melting
under the sunlight -
the coming of night
night approaches
calming down the wind
for a while
while laying its hand
on the shoulder
of silence -
expectations
feelings strain my heart
colours mingle and at night
slowly drift apart
while I await the light -
Thank you Amethystos. I am writing a lot these days, and I should reveal more of it, maybe, but right now I decided to
give "the shorties" a chance.
Proud to have you popping in and reading through them! Efgaristo!

life is short
frenzy ladies move like snakes
between labour, coffebreaks
faces pale longing for light
hard to get when they're inside
men with suits look all the same
mass of dullness, who's to blame
life is short but they can't see
where they really want to be
life is short, and yet unkind,
always trouble on your mind
life is short, you realize?
watch the truth into the eyes!
life is short, and yet unkind
always trouble on your mind,
life is short, now wait no more
get that boat of yours ashore!

Hiding
hiding in a field
holding on to happiness
Letting only the wind
into your secret -
reason for spring
Winter failed to come
sunshine already prevailing
and warming the asphalt
ready to embrace
i wait impatiently
For understanding and
sympathy
ackowledging that i need
her friendshipLast edited by amaryn; 03-12-2014 at 03:32 AM.

a friend
a heatwave suddenly replaced
by cold, wet winterair
a visitor you did expect
you waited-she ain't there
a holiday you wanted to
be in good company
but though you thought
you had a friend
how wrong you seemed to be!

scenery
humming oaktrees
waving at us passing by
wide open doors -
I can quite of understand you like this kinda poem/song, Flower Brother.

For you as a drummer, it offers plenty of opportunities I think.
Thanks, old pal!

Amaryn,
Interesting start for 2014! Some of your poems have been influenced by haiku, I'm happy to see.

Well, yes, Frankie, very much so. I have indeed to thank you for inspiration on the haiku thread. Without you I might never have ventured
into that experiment.
The "old amaryn" will certainly appear from time to time. On Twitter there's no space for such. There I specialize in haiku and aforisms, but here it is
good to work with all kinds of poetry.
That is one of the excellent things about this Forum!
nothing
nothing can save us
from feeling insane
if we rely upon others
to blame
nothing can rescue
the honour we want
if we don't reach out
to friends and beyond
can't you see, tell me
are we too blind
to help ourselves
out of what's on our mind
cut off the strings
that prevent us to be
what we want - that's to be
free
nothing can stop us
from just reaching out
if we don't do it
what's left is our doubt
nothing can ensure
that I was right
always to avoid the night
