FIRST IMPRESSIONS

FIRST IMPRESSIONS  
© Farouk Asvat  

first love

from naïveté
to the bondage of your love
soaring me to cloud 'leventy-'leven,
until you freed me
and bonded me to my sorrow

    living

    living in a suitcase
    i live on fishan'chips
    getting used to
    not getting too used to people

medical student

a recorder
repeating minuities
upon a rosary
stuck to one endless groove

    reminiscence

    serene symphony
    providing simple chords
    for my medley of thoughts
    fading into a harmony
    dancing in my dreams
