shakespearean sonnet [09.09.2003 - 11.14am]

shakespearean sonnet in my head
capulet's ruled this discontent
last night she said "everybody has a chance"
a chance, i asked, a chance is a gamble
i heard shakespearean sonnet in my head

there is no such thing as love she said
shakespearean sonnet killed that maid
cleopatra's paws destroyed caezars head
today my head is contoured to disrespect
that damn shakespearean sonnet in my head

shakespearean sonnet in my head
freud's theory to agitate the sleeping mind
now i am a disbeliever of what's good in humankind
darn, love is just in my head
that damn shakespearean sonnet is still in my head
[in silence [09.11.2003 - 1:46pm]

love has died yesterday in a bang
emotions betrayed what's true in man
love shocks flesh in a chatter box
confusions lay beyond water's edge

in silence i will confide
the thoughts of a faithful love
no matter how true and sincere one can be
there's always someone asking to prove your worthy

love has died yesterday in truth
love is the sin of the faithful ones
love is the course of a forgotten time
love has died to summon end of life

in silence i will contain
what's real can no longer be
leave true love in a drum of acid
let it rot in pain so lucid

lying in bed [09-22.2003]

lying in bed, i heard noises
distracting my solitary space
i opened my eyes and saw nothing
to sleep i went and started dreaming

dreaming in bed, i saw nothing
abstracting a moment of my sanity
i opened my mouth but uttered nothing
to dream i went and started learning

waking in bed, i felt nothing
confusing my bemused world
i opened my ears, my mouth, my eyes
but there was nothing...just a soul flying
I no longer believe in dreams I no longer believe in hope I no longer believe in love I only believe in pain I only believe in death
I only believe that I no longer believe [opb 09-09-2003]

[..........a temporary abode for my soul]
bemuse yourself for a moment confuse yourself for a fleeting time befuddle your soul for an instant
