Uncharted

I know the graphics are great
that the plot is engaging
smooth as silk the rendering
and the sounds quite amazing.

But I'm sure you know, sometimes
I just wish you'd find me as
interesting as your dodgammed
high-tech, blu-ray games console.

Moloko

Zizkov TV Tower Sitting in my fridge door
a half-full milk bottle
regrets you not having
stayed to finish it all.

V říjnu

Vapour vents visibly,
verdant vegetation
vanish, winds whip wildly,
wills waver wistfully.

Tides

Columbus Square The moon that is your sweet, round face
I behold as you hold my stare.
The gravity of our embrace
locks us in this quasi affair.

Rybky

As my lips touch the base
of your frail dorsal fin
my hands kiss every scale
of your luminous tail.

I watch you swim away
I ache to taste your skin
I sink back in the dark
I deny I'm half-shark.

Haunt

Cheap thrills

Four-leaf Clover

Perchance I have found you
where one would not expect
such rare beauty and soul
amongst the dead and wrecked.

Deaf

violins My eardrums burst each quiet night
pierced by this silent scream of fright
that echoes in my hollow heart
emptied by the time we're apart.

Mucha

The scorched orbs in my head throb
like dams threatening to burst
with sweet nectar and dead flies
that died of heavenly thirst.

It was their own fault to dive
in this sticky pool headfirst
too well the consequences
they knew made it all the worse.
 US Capitol

Whitewash

Tigery In search of a large façade
which I will cover with paint
with dark and deep colours I
will spill my madness and pain.

Pragmatism

"What happens to me when you must go?"
means I'm not worth taking a risk for
or is it a way for you to show
that you care for yourself above all?

Who am I kidding? I do well know
how practicality outweighs all
feelings and regard that fall below
the love I sadly still can't forego.

Uppercase M

sunset in Prague Streaks of lightning liven up
the late evening summer sky
as I listen to music
  I think of us and cry

for the fleetingness of life
whose end might finally give
one of us the chance to hold
  the other's hand again.

Bull

Your words carry no weight
as if they were written
in the swirling smokescreen
you have cast around me.

Restless slumber of late
nothing yet forgotten
in my last vivid dream
still I believed blindly.

It makes no sense to wait
much less when just smitten
and feelings are foreseen
to remain but friendly.

Raincheck

Capitol I stop myself from asking you
for I fear you would say
you'll be busy, or might cancel
again on the day.

Disappointment might just ruin
another Saturday
that was supposed to be sunny
but has turned wet and grey.

Drought

This downtrodden heart has
drowned my emotions in
a sea of unshed tears.

Eyes like a desert sky
burning but now too dry
to form rain clouds and cry.

Cracked and untilled, this soil
yields neither crop nor oil
barren, a waste of toil.

Moray

bulbous sculpture at Oslo sentralstasjon I am a tiny red crustacean
on your slick, black and slithering back.

A relationship of convenience
we have, fading to futility.

Risk


Why tread in shallow waters
when you can simply stand up
and walk away unmuddied?

Find a clear and deeper pool
where you can dive, explore and
not feel the least bit sordid.

Opiate

Montserrat, Catalunya
For Marx, religion is the opium of the masses.
For me, religion is rehab; my opium is you.
