Poets, Films, Photos, Belongings and Fragrances
What colors, what emotions, what achievements?
The trees wishing the flowers bloomed better
The flowers clueless about what trees speak of
The flowers face the sky and only one question to ask
What is love?
If I wish for it and open my arms wide enough for it to fit,
Will you shower them at me and maybe then

Belongings
Belongings gain a sadder fate
Then we do, when we die
Their owners soul they can’t revive
As if they’re always late
To catch an eye, that now can’t see
To feel the touch, that’s gone
Belongings lay aside, forlorn
Green leaves on a felled tree
Must feel the same, before they fade
And wither in the wind
Belongings, thrown into the bin
Are waiting

Belongings
If I were a Victorian naturalist
I would have pinned bugs
in their boxed cabinets
and tabulated them all,
because where I place favored items
they must belong there in perpetuity.
I once dreamt that The Goddess of Mercy
had found a place for me
in the temple of Her glowing heart.
However, I fidgeted much,
shuffling from the right side to the left
trying out

It Held a Breath
Up in the rafters over the pool
lies a beach ball still inflated
after seven long years,
with the breath of someone
long gone, by the wayside.
I wonder what other belongings
this person, or maybe I, have left behind
to intrigue passers-by.
People may wonder from whom,
or from whence, they came.
These passed-on-by-things left,
where sleeping dogs lie,
are best not awakened,

The Last Destiny
The last destiny
A secret place to go
A mysterious journey
And a frightening experience indeed
For finding out any more
And before one go
One must leave behind all the belongings
Money, properties,knowledge and
experiences
Hatred and love
Friends,family and the loved ones
One'll find that one has a lot
But all the time one said
One has a little
One's greed has betrayed oneself
Like

Stuff, Stuff Everywhere
Stuff, stuff everywhere
I'm surrounded by stuff
here and there.
Stuff, stuff everywhere
Hiding in every nook
and cranny
Stuff, stuff everywhere
everywhere I look I see stuff
I see books, books everywhere
I see guitars, ukuleles and paper everywhere
Stuff, stuff everywhere
It's so overwhelming.
It's time to stop writing this poem
and start clean, clean, cleaning
and getting, getting, getting

Packing My Case
Packing My Case.
Dragging my case from off the top of the wardrobe, I disturb the spiders, the case lands at my feet with a mighty thud ! its, my time too fly away to warmer places, to visit loved ones and familiar faces.
The case is all dusty and needs a scrub, but it's seen some

You Get This When I Am Dead
You, my most favorite darling, get my grandfather clock said she.
When I am dead. Unapologetic, diabolical laugh.
You, sweetie pie, get my off-key piano stated easily.
To keep in my tiny efficiency apartment? Is she daft?
And you, honey babe, get my jewelry, she prettily pointed out.
Indicating her only grandchild who does not like jewels.
Grandma was directing

Longing and Belongings
It's not without reason that it rained that day.
Those winter clouds were paler than my dead
grandmother's face. The wet blanket, which
the morning air wrapped around my sleepless
back, bore no pearls. The ever cribbing qualm
that sings the separation of leaving me to love me
wrote those broken words in those striped stones,
Sutlej gave them to me.
"Start again,

Watched All of My Belongings
Watched All of My Belongings
Some say of liberalism sure was to smack
Which is what I had said in my wisecrack
There were also other people who said
They think I should have dropped dead.
Lacked any ability of being eloquent
Even said I sounded like an elephant
Budding behavior was unpredictable
That ended up becoming despicable.
After into strange story I further

Belongings
Shadowed in the silent room, the daylight's nearly gone
Dusk climbs in through window glass, with one last ray of sun
I start the task, climb on a chair, reach up to shelves so high
to mother's boxes neatly stacked, and dust gets in my eyes
I take one down, to look inside and sit upon a chair
I find
