Mystic Under the Bodhi TreeA most beautiful day
The Son of Suns, shining brightly on us all
Not hot yet, but bright.
A million butterfly’s swarm
Lighting on and around
Myriads of flowers surrounding.
See them in such moving colors
Each on their own chosen way,...

The dayA day full of cigarettes
A day full of riding,
Oh what a calmness
My face was full with dirt

Living every hour
I was mine
Cause it's only mine and mine..????

Rainy Days, and the Old Red Barn“Allen saw it first
Charlie then later
Allen chased the black raven
Charlie lived his dreams”.

In passions quenched by fear's relentless crush.
For what is death but a mere fleeting...

Forever Drawn to YouMy wildest dream
Would be me, holding your hand!
Becoming the perfect pair, hand in hand
Exploring the world and creating memories,

I sat in nostalgiaI sat in nostalgia
By Phan Tan Hai

You walked quietly into the moonlight,
filling the sky with light,
and gently breathed into my soul.
I sat in...

BreezyLay in the hammock
I look around for the source of the music
There's a blackbird taking the credit
Though I see he doesn't have a guitar
His stage is the neighbours chimney
And he's every bit the...

The Factory
As a child I was warned
that if I looked at the light
for too long it would send
me blind and yet
the stuttering flash
and eerie blue light
from an arc welder
that crackled deep inside
the factory would tempt...

Dazzling Sunrise, Come QuicklyIf this increasing darkness conveys a fear not chided,
as ghostly shadows conspicuously confer mystery:
do I hide or firmly resist being threatened
by their miserable aspect of susceptibility?
Anxiety builds fret inside first slowly, then rapidly?
I squeeze and...

Wake up weary hermitWe are the power,
that enlivens body-mind,
yet strangely we prefer trance.
In this lucid dream,

As we were taught to expect

I Dreamed A DreamI am on a train above the clouds, a wondrous scene,
No panic stirred, just enchantment filled the air serene.
Faces, familiar yet strange, in clownish attire,
A vintage dream train, stoked with childhood's desire.
A steward with rosy...
