Premium Member Be Patient My Heart
I have no words to use that can define,
this task so tough to find my lover's name.
In hope, I wait for my soul to refine,
before my heart becomes old with this game.

This language they call love has no restraint,
yet, still I search for tongue which...

Shadow Dance
I listen to my shadow as it wakes
Contemplating its solitude, hearing how peacefully it
Settles over dawn’s breath, and how it looks upon
Last night’s fire, now a stain upon the earth

I listen to the sky cleft open the dawn
Watch as she tears a strip from her...

Gone With the Pie
They plotted long, that winter’s night
                   Beneath the Christmas star so bright
Three tiny mice in elf like suits

Premium Member Beware the Mocking Jay
~ Monotetra form ~

No man's eyes will ever conceive
the things another mind may weave
If this counsel you don't believe
You are naïve    You are naïve

What lies behind a masked facade
is oft' unfit to praise and laud
Tread lightly when sipping pernod
Beware the fraud ...

Come Out
Now in the shadows a figure hides
Unmerciful rain collapses on my rooftops
The mind struggles to recollect lost senses
You take me on a victorious voyage to the Island of Paradise
Riding the waves of my intuition, I call for it
“Bring us the light at the end of...

Premium Member Tribute To a Simple Man
He lived a simple life
  He was a simple man
He never had a wife
  He had a different plan

He wore the priestly collar
  He lived a life of service
You never heard him holler
  Nothing made him nervous 

Several pulpits did he...

Premium Member Dear Asia, Letter From Grandpa
Dear Asia.
 
I was awakened in the middle of the night
with you on my mind. By the time the clock
struck 12:40 AM, the tears had already appeared.
 
Before I could wipe those wet-drops away, three
words gushed from the depths of my heart and lay
siege to...

Can I Be the One
I have dreams and high hopes for the coming new year.
Many aspirations that I must achieve with true ease. 
When this year ends and all the madness does cease
I shall bring forth good will without dread nor fear. 
O, I shall fall to my knees...

She
The day that I first saw you smile, as I stooped to fix a lace
A small stone’s throw across the street but then there was no trace
I ran the corner that you turned but I had lost the race
I may now never have the chance...

Sage Tidings
Deluged with the nostalgic era of you,
Your lush verdant scent lining 
Wistful sentiments upon idle reflections 
Scattered in fragments and fine dustings, as 
I acquaint myself with futile intricacies—
Devoted to your unwritten absence, 
Wandering in a haze of misty wastelands,
While you eternalize your presence in...

Premium Member A Can of Coffee
I do not recall telling him how his kindness made a major impression on my life, but I did share the same with his wife and daughter after his demise. Moreover, I suspect that he knew that what he did for me had a lasting...

Angels
Lenient light beings
Persistently beside one
Aware and secure

Acquaint themselves once
Nevermore in physical
But still their warmth counts

Coeval as I am
Complexities become plain
Chosen among few

Descend with desire
Defy death a countless times
Illumine spirit

Linger up below
Feeling within and beyond
Omnipresent glow...

Premium Member Soul Stance River - 2
The rivers are racing with a glee of free morning stampede today
carrying the currency of silted centuries and the cool silk of the wind's summer saga,
within my heart I feel the rambunctious rush of wanderlust
this river is tempting us to bleed for treasure, for the...
