Dear sir across from me in Panera
you look very stressed
in your suit and tie
staring at your laptop
with that saddened face.
I see you wear a wedding ring
perhaps, you should spend more time
with her.
Have you ever considered,
a new job?
gotta play to win?
do you ever play, just
to play?
WELCOME
..and here are a few things to keep in mind:
This blog contains mostly my poetry and a few thoughts from time to time. The thoughts will be entered when and wherever I feel necessary to keep things in proper order. Thoughts and things not belonging to me will be denoted with asterisks. Poems will be archived by the date which they were written, not by that which they were posted. I tend to update things a month or few after being written so as to keep current issues from wandering unattended around the web.
Enjoy...

dirty things
we all have our share of dirty things shoved back in dark corners
pouring myself full of liquid drug, loud music, and metal
because i cannot adequately feel anything

Warm Stone, Bare Feet
Warm stone.
Cool on bare feet.
Waning sun,
scattered across my face.
Purring feline,
fuzzy on my skin.
Sensations abound.
Sit and soak.
Close my eyes.
Listen.

Spring
I love the weather currently.
Warmishly chilly
Slightly breezy
Things growing
Birds doing ... bird things
Please, let me stay
Outside.

Reactionary
I am a reactionary.
I do what gets a rise out of you.
I touch you not because
I like touch
I touch you
because it makes you
Makes you happy
Makes you do things
Makes you do stupid things =)

Serkan
Furre.
(furrie? furry? fuzz ball?)
What's with your pointy ears
and tail?
Scales too, you say?
Make up your own creatures.
Make up your own life.
Must be nice...

Sunlight
Sunlight.
Sunshine.
I crave it.
I do not like it.
So warm.
Calming.
Soft breeze.
But turns me
crispy
and tan.
Dislike.
