“Your eyes have struck me with violence:
Now their music disturbs my silence
YOU
Come alive when Love I had forgotten
Like a poisonous rose I thought rotten
Or a beat of the heart presumed broken
No more
’Cause your smile is like a dead end
This One white perfect verse
Which kills all living poets
To Hell their fancy sonnets!
For when your gaze is gone
Let’t be no poetry beyond.”

“On a summer starry
Some cute game I learnt
Funny it seemed at first
Then turned out scarry

Played it by the book
Played it fair and square
(With a childish smile
and the purest hope;
With a open heart
and my eyes well closed)

It goes quite like this:
Romeo, Oh Romeo!
Let’s start this rodeo
On the count of three
Bullets: two... five, six!
Cupid, dear, stupid
Leave one dart for me
’Cause I’ve had enough
Of Fate’s wicked turns:
For true Love’s beauty
I shall fire that gun!

Put it on my head
Against all science
And prayed for silence...
Then pushed my Luck:
My sighs tightened,
My fingers trembled...
But a thunderstruck!!

Yet she gaily said
”Please go on, Monsieur”
Turned and waved “Adieu”
Left me with my Death.”

“I am well dead well:
Thought of an angel
But she wore red.

Pale skin, brown eyes
They cut through my soul
Like cigarettes
Burn paper holes.

Red lips Red gown
A slim silhouette
How sweet your crown
Russian Love
Roulette.”

“In state of solitude
When darkness absolute
A Heart is drowning in
Throbbing torture leaking
The purest form of red
And heaven is pouring hell
when Love’s not visiting.

Still I love(d) you now
- Despite the stars above-
Like no one has ever loved
Like everyone has once loved.

Now I live with all the pain
But I have not lived in vain:
On the floor there’s a mess
And a Life no more.”
