Strengths of red

Posted on June 10, 2015 By adcitlali

Sombre dress dark hair smoky eyes dark shades black purse silver earrings high heels red lips & a secret smile    that sheds true colours                                 if you dare inspiring it She walks time  with  confident strolls                                       controlled ambitions                                       assertive sight                                       decisive actions                                       courageous goals yet she trembles when hugged passionately yet…

I know you left

Posted on June 9, 2015 By adcitlali

I had a nightmare last night. I wanted to be a straight line but kept bending      into runaway curves that circle themselves before moving afar. I know you are leaving. Did I turn my eyes too fast? Was I too abstract? –I wonder.                     Good bye my dear … I will…

Structured procrastination past midnight

Posted on May 24, 2015 By adcitlali

Amelia feels stressed and distressed   Too tired for productivity   Too late for adventure   Too busy for love   Too early for bed She looks at the pile of laundry           –reminds her of one hundred unanswered emails   Oh,  sweet procrastination!

Amelia and the fall

Posted on March 27, 2015 By adcitlali

The underground’s entrance is a clown’s mouth    Amelia thought of the path she used to walk             eternal afternoons             blissy oblivion             shiny silence    Then came the fall –she whispered — & death    Mysterious smile    Two days ago she longed for that…

The confession

Posted on March 10, 2015 By adcitlali

What’s the catch? –you asked    Tell me your secrets  Twenty nine thoughts blinked ’round my head       I laugh at myself when can’t stop crying      Sometimes   I cry while laughing        There are dreams in my reality      A page in my old diary has not a single truth      No one knows…

Who are you?

Posted on February 28, 2015 By adcitlali

I saw you in the front cover of a magazine   and wondered who you are     Your photographer’s name is mentioned   in an article signed with its author’s name              Your  photo  is   there            the camera’s brand              the lens              aperture            light conditions                all is clearly detailed You  remain…
