Longings

Morning brief
Not much to say;
Touching aftermath

~~~~~~~~~


Passing clouds
Candy floss chit-chat;
Without a word

~~~~~~~~~


Lovers in the park
Saturday evening trysts;
Cheery revival

~~~~~~~~~


Free-and-Easy
Way to go;
Redundant tour guide

~~~~~~~~~


Aloha Hawaii
Polynesian fare;
Smiles surfing free

~~~~~~~~~


Fly away now
Missionary quest;
Overseas homework

~~~~~~~~~


Complains surge
No much change;
Wishful thinking

~~~~~~~~~


Here and there
Notice the debris;
Broken spirits loiter

~~~~~~~~~


Lost souls loiter
Shackled by fate;
Seemingly hopeless

~~~~~~~~~


And when he died
So much sorrow;
Now an urban legend

~~~~~~~~~


Sweet sexy swirl
Curves curl cute;
Vital statistics flaunt

~~~~~~~~~


Children at play
Power struggles start;
Parent referees

~~~~~~~~~
