Best Mandarine Poems

What would I give

 to get a glimpse of your smile

to have and to hold

 your heart for a while

I want to meet you 

where the river meets the sea

Leave your oars behind

and sail away with me.

We'd sail away together

the soft yellow streaked the terra cotta,
shadowing the speckled sallow saffron 
a bluish buff upon the cochineal;
brilliant boneblack
grizzled the engrain

reflecting a golden flame of raw umbery upon
the earth green;
bright mosaic gold
mottled the sallow sorrel

I watch you pick a pebble

engrave our name upon it

toss it in at sea
 
and wish upon the stars

There you are,coming closer

with wind breeze in your hair

and ...

this winter
brought over the city
a fine and cold rain

thunder through the quarrel corners
hatred seeds on the fronts
the uninvited’s apple chopped
by the chatterbox tongue
thread for the treasures’seekers

the dragon has killed the cranes and the mandarine ducks
are mere glass nicknacks

in a junk shop window
hungry for the sun
