Just Where

Journey Journal Page JUST WHERE? By Leon Enriquez Words in stern cryptic code Rouse odd map of strange mode Ink piques dense mother lode Taste deep allusions here Ere exile feel endears Reap sad touch that chokes cheer Feel the sure glimpse sans time Opt conflict that rips rhyme Urge confronts awkward chimes Reach beyond what sustains Quest blooms bitter-sweet pain Use abuse in disdain Appease sorrow sans loss Rowdy ripples thus toss Turmoil torments lost cause Exult in tragic change Taste that hollow feel strange Stillness stays subtle range Trust well deep feel that knows Heap more in lavish flow Opt new meaning that grows Meet each broken dream well Art and science predict tell See what you see that dwells Spice that mellow sure scream Thrill in certain pipe dream Echo sharp surge that streams Art formats the pattern Ripe textures boost concern Next accord troops discern See now that you can’t see Etch metaphors calmly Less piques more profoundly In brief review forge state Old thoughts moot clash of fate Truth sans expiry date Prompt the airy wind chimes Odd yet true our lost rhymes End and start grip odd times Trick or treat flavours each Ink stains in cosmic reach Close and open old glitch Explore the sensuous nerves eXit the rowdy swerves Indulge the hollow serves Live and love and laugh more Eat and drink and thus store Tensile strength from deep core Rest thus on curious shores Invest as yet before Peace floods the vain blank core Niche that narrow way back Odd and even types stack Weave the winding way track Leon Enriquez 09 January 2023 Singapore
