Overseas StudyThat February Sunday
Our airport detour,
Clara's gone away
On a study tour.
A pre-flight dinner
With our family,
Vouch for a winner
A message lovely.
And just so quickly
You both through check-in,
Hearts can feel empty
Feelings come between.
Just the two of you:
Michael and Clara,
Melbourne to cue
With fond agendas.
Dreams come true you see
When the...

Christmas OverseasSand-covered, dusty boots
Iraq, Kuwait, and more
it is this time of year
that makes the heart feel sore.
Distant dreams in your head
Wishing for a quiet night
Getting letters from home
to make it seem all right.
Decorating a small space,...

Prayer of An Overseas WorkerI consumed half of my prime life
And little I know the dark side
I’ve kept apart, sorrows grow rife
In virtual silence, I reside
I kneel down to pray they are well
Sure enough, that keeps them all safe
To quench yearning, in poem I tell
O’er the years to ward...

Overseas RomanceTedious of ephemeral dreams
I prefer to be in a coma
If my thoughts are where you reside
I shall close my eyes for eternity
My empyreal cerebrations
ostend the painstaking reality
that a body of water
has unlinked us both
Thus far, I have survived
without your company,
which is what keeps me sane,
and...

Overseas LoveI saw an eye in the middle of an ocean
She beacons on me to come and bathe in her oceans
Like an innocent fish
I swam in-between her holes
Showing me the way to d deep
The eye held me so close with her lashes
Blinking her seductive strength into...

Overseas VisitorI sat alone by the sea
when a snail waved to me.
She politely asked “Is this seat free?”
“Why yes,” I said, “ certainly.”
“I've traveled forth all lifelong
seeking somewhere to belong.
I've sought wide and sought long
for a place to sing my song."
We sat a while companionably
and watched...

A Great Man OverseasIt was not more than three months ago,
When I met a loving soul living far away from me,
A loving soul of a great man you all may know,
Yet, what a shame! His face I never got to see,
Alas, I fear not recognizing him although,
One day,...

Ode
An Overseas MotherThe signs passed by and bids goodbye,
The bird is now ready to fly.
Fly so high yet fly so far,
To reach the land with the golden wine.
My star tried not to cry,
And kept the sorrows in her heart.
But the sorrows will soon collide,
And left our hearts...

Overseas TripAsk just to be simple and plain,
Nurture kind will to frame each page.
Observe and see the healing rain,
Voice now reveals a sanguine age;
Explore the scenes where joy funds play,
Reach right within to a feisty core;
Sense profound winds that groom each day,
Etch thoughts unseen that flavour...

The Lady OverseasBonjour mon cher, how did you sleep?
I hope that your ears didn't ring
For all night long
I spoke your name in song
From sunset until dayspring
Your sweet sounding name, my heart rendered aflame
With thoughts of you filling my head
And those eyes, and that smile
Inimitable style
Rendered breathless,...

Verse
The Flowers That Are DeadMy father didn’t cry until my brother did.
It was the final good-bye between three men, who are all told that they are not the type of people to cry because they are not me or her.
Don’t cry they plead to themselves.
Don’t show this emotion.
My little...

Mail Order Maiden - CtI smiled invitingly, the screen
Revealed woman of my ideal
Russian silk beauty, pure, unseen
Pillow lips, brush eyelash appeal
I said I could serve her well, my earnings
Would purchase nicest things of her yearnings
I'll fly her here, get her spousal visa
Her eyes alight, replied,...
