Bits and Pieces

August moon leaps Over plumeria boughs; A lover waits ~~~~~~~~~ Jasmine in your hair Scented portraits here; Moonlit tryst ~~~~~~~~~ Night bird serenade Sleepy lullaby; Frangipani shroud ~~~~~~~~~ Dark is the night Solemn persuasion; Stars come out to play ~~~~~~~~~ Window curtains Veils sure surprise; Inner fires surge ~~~~~~~~~ Blooming flowers Garden sculptures here; Wooden bench empty ~~~~~~~~~ East Coast Park Voices in the dark; Distant lights spark ~~~~~~~~~ Deeper than deep This troubled sleep; Sad stories creep ~~~~~~~~~ Lost in the crowd I look for you; Desolation road ~~~~~~~~~ Bits and pieces Leftover food; Grace before meal ~~~~~~~~~ Joy comes Sorrow leaves; Dawn sparkles ~~~~~~~~~ Night frowns Darkness hides; Dusk feels alone ~~~~~~~~~ Leon Enriquez 23 August 2014 Singapore
