surreal poetry
Surrealist poetry embodies the essence of poetry itself, drawing upon shocking imagery and lyrical incongruities to comment on the inner-workings of the mind.
I Still Believe In Promises
Promises don't always bring happy,hope isn't always good news.Romance is much more than sappy,happiness can be found in the blues.Forever can just mean tomorrow,longing can last more than your life.Joy rises out of the sorrow,resolution can come out of strife.Goodbyes don't mean forever,hellos usher in a farewell.Friendships make for good lovers,

The Capitalism of Desire
desire is to lick, just a little, the back of the blue poison dart frog. desire is to look at lanky legs floating in lefkas. desire is to follow, through the far-flung corners of chefchaouen, bald heads squirrelling away crumbs of blue salvia. desire to drop the base. a circus in flames. after many moons, and a few drinks, a feather in the smoke resembles the face of a white man howling, chanting, raving, wanting to know how to sleep while his feathers are burning? white-faced empty melodies of shares and rock for stock exchange, coal seam gas, uranium, iron ore, a bed of cold hard coal. a cobalt fact is the prettiest element. how can they dance while the menagerie is collapsing? how can they sleep while the clowns are crying?
