“your life is your life
don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is light somewhere.
it may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances.
know them.
take them.
you can’t beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
your life is your life.
know it while you have it.
you are marvelous
the gods wait to delight
in you.”

Charles Bukowski – The Laughing Heart

My God
How I missed
That
Sudden flash
Of starlight
Purely
Cosmic
Brightness
Of your
Pearl-shine
Smile
Usually hidden
Behind the cloudy
Moods of yours
Rays to others
Frequently
Forced
For me
Usually
Prohibited
Which makes
Me rather
More
Of
An Addict

But here
You burst
Into that display...
Unforced
Uplanned
Unsuspected
Unrestricted
Unison banter
Unfolding
That you’re
Uniquely
In
Unequivocal
Moment of Joy

Don’t care
What’ve made it.
Other bloke
New lover
Be it
Devilish tricks
Either
Wasn’t me
For sure
I’m not even
Unsure
But that
Doesn’t matter

What counts
What overpasses
In value
Any perceived
Treasures
Of this Universe
Any reservations
Any hurts of my soul
Any dug-out
Deepest meanings
Is that
Tiny
Curvature
Of Your
Cherry-shade
Lips
In a true
And the most beautiful
In that or other
Galaxies
Smile

And that sound
Which posses
Healing properties
Stronger
Than magic frequencies
Chakras
The Sound of your
Voice
Bursting
Into natural
Laughter
With ease
At me

With me

I know
“That too shall pass”
I know
That you
Know
It won’t
Last
But I had
Almost
Lost any hope
For this
And now
“I’m a believer”
Once and
Again

And listen
All I wish
All I want
Is that you
Were happy
As often
As it is possible
No matter how
No matter
What of who
Does it

Just
Keep me posted
How can I help
And just
Smile
