Mini Poems
Mini poetry
On a wall, written:
I’m a chicken
And proud of it
A grazing burro
Makes a sad landscape
More perky
The Philippines
Where old bachelors go
To find a quiet bride.

This Land Of Mine
I have lived here for twenty years, olive trees
and brown, rugged rocks are my best friends.
Watering can and flowers in my garden, yet
the locals still refer to me as O Estrangero.

3 Zen Poems
Zen
I will think
Of nothing
And listen
To silence
That falls
As rain
On my roof
Zen
Terror
Sinks as silt
In a lake’s
Still water
Zen
TV voices
Filling my room
With triviality

4 Modern
Wet dog
Looks into a rain pool
Contemplative
When it rains
Cats sleep on window sills
Pensive mice
Meditative rain
Gently descends
In September
Introspective
Mountain village
In the mist

Epiphany
Epiphany
How soft rain is
I hold out my hands
Cupped like a holy grail
I wash my face
And is rejuvenated
My mind is clear
Epiphany
And slowly rain falls
I understand
Time is no longer endless.

A Cairo Rose
A Cairo Rose
Lily white was his shirt
A red rose sprung from his chest,
It grew bigger and wider,
Too heavy for the man who fell into the dust;
The rose liquefied.
Around him an air of stillness.

No Title
Title less
The ship sails on plowing
the surface
of eternity´s echo.
Where new dogmas
will be born,
man die in the name
of a deity.
The ship sails on seas
of timelessness
till the echo ceases.

As Time ~runs By
As Time Goes By
Each grain of sand
On the waste of Sahara
Is a word spoken
A lover´s whisper
A story told and
A song sung.
And now lizards and
Snakes burrow under
The sand to
Escape the fierce sun.

The Outer Island
Small Island in a summer lake
And on a day of play
Young people were slaughtered by
A madman posing as normal.
Another summer the island is
Full of wild flowers
Whispering trees
A requiem for those left behind.

Storm Bird
Storm Bird
On the blue sky of eternity
The seagull flies
Surveying its domain.
You, master of the oceans,
If you tell me your story
I will give you a name.
And you will forever
Fly in my dreams and eternity.
