Winter's Reach

May 11th 2008 03:13
Autumn’s sun leaves early
Blanketing the afternoon
While the bird songs slow
As if through snow
The magpie afar
And the last butterfly
Of the season.

In awe, a tender flower

March 13th 2008 01:42
A little pink rose blooms
After the morning dew;
Shaded by the yard’s fence
The pot moves to the sun
Closer on the courtyard.
Thick clouds may wander yet
And shade the sun, the plans;
Change the way things happen.
It’s a beautiful day
And after all the rains
To feel the sun’s heat warm
Tender filaments
Petals delicate
And dreams of the heart;
Other plants shade others
But we respect tall trees
Living through the ages.
Is it no wonder
When we look to the sky
We saw gods.

City

February 25th 2008 23:26
People in a blink forgotten;
A colour, style or a face
Lingers a little longer; gone
Again, I feel lonelier here
So close to conversations; words
Do not reflect the loneliness
But intensify it; echo
As they leave the table beside me
And now I hear more distant talk;
A song plays on the radio,
Light, acoustic, afternoon tune;
For an early Sunday, past noon
And I am overwhelmed by grief;
Suppressed for the business ahead
Buses pull up; prepay only
Passengers ignore the sign, stuck
As does the bus driver, nodding.
Coffees, teas, chai lattes and juice
Sit on tables, customer’s chairs.
I am nervous; and excited
I am certainly me sitting
But I am lost; this big city;
I have to assert me, myself
In this stream of collective we.

More, the world

February 24th 2008 21:22
The world has been carved; like a bronze statue;
We admire it, but more paint that arts;
How we do not understand Picasso

Life's space

You cleared the leaves
For us, for me
In our courtyard

Life, a painting

February 18th 2008 23:23
Eyes, waiting, look, for an answer,
A moment, of seconds, silent;
Breathing slows down; time becomes still

How do we travel

February 18th 2008 00:32
How do we travel through our lives
And not see the days that escape;
That lie dormant under the bed

Salt of the sea

Salt of the sea
Thirst thirstier
Unrequited

Relative steps

January 25th 2008 00:12
Form nothingness, from future thought,
The flower wavers in the wind
Till man steps and lets the perfume
