Poems by Caroline Nazareno




Tonight is a Breakaway


I am telling the cold abandoned
Bed of yesterday
Tonight is tomorrow’s
Subservient way
To feel the cloud nine thirst and hunger
Of why is the day
Leaving again
The marriage of callous blankets and pillows
Of immaturities

Denying, disbelieving, holding back
The winds of turning downfall
The mystique of the unknown frontiers
Ups,
Downs,
Sides-- clips of immortality
Heeding to the cliffs of behind and before
All are silent yawning destinies
Of insecurities
It is happening
When you let me feel
This is our story
To live in Xanadu
The snoring holy graves
With you

Jumbo mambo chum


i thought of jumbo mambo
showcase of rhythmic shaking hands
a little extra or bonus
i called simplicity
a humble tumbleweed
from the ashtray
absorbing odors
of insanity and remorse
turning into baby's breath
in the hayfields of no blaming
no perforated lines to tear
no one is unwanted like a rebel
nothing charged nor levied
if in due time love is unpaid
i want to see faces
in a pail of water
untied from sixty-four million dollar questions
where lies have its extinctions
while rusted beliefs
were polished by understanding
if this last tissue paper
can ease fear and anger
no qualms and danger
i place these open arms
in a synopsis
my friend is Peace.

frozen eyes


a pact between the feelings
inner morphine lingers
the resonance of fate
breath by breath
beat by beat
killing us softly, slowly
in the menage
of ourselves

butterflies courting lilies
in this nirvana
of free flying dreams
piercing, enslaving
second by second
time after time
into the love spells
of our frozen eyes
