PASSAGES

               Sometimes through life
               we must "walk through glass"

Thunder echoes through the night
rumbles slightly…
Lightning flashes its bolt of light
ever lightly…
Rain on; rain on, life reigns on
till dawn; till dawn
till the break of dawn…
Love moves on 
quietly…
freeing the passages to my heart…

The winding passage to my heart
Stores the secrets to our love
Love exists in...

Invest your time in good things.
Fulfill all your goals.
Enjoy your life improvement....

Les passants, les passages

Fantômes de la nuit
Avec aucun visage
Les passants pensée est un mirage
Le mirage voit des visages vides seulement

Les passages ont des secrets
Les passants voient pas
Le roman se termine
Quand les amants cessent de tenir la main

les passage est noir
Au fond de la terre
Lorsque les...

Watching and waiting
Nothing happens;
Until just now


Trade buzz
Money changing hands;
Bazaar commotion


Old shophouses
Newly renovated;
Brisk traffic parades


Corner cafe
Stray conversations;
Small talk overhead


Spring time blossoms
Yunnan, China journey;
Leftover memories 


Midday siesta
Groggy with fatigue;
Day dreams of old China


Humid and hot sweat
Sun fires fiery fever;
Cold drink comforts


Noisy food court
Rush of lunch crowd;
Food salvation...

Make my life storm and shelter;
Earth and magic before mortal promises
Whispered into storm gray silk.
It is all fantasy behind green eyes
Laced with a tiger's grace.
Golden earrings and ambergris
And the sweet scent of repletion...
The solace of one, pure, jewel bright
Unbroken bond
Held in the hollow of your...

First a twinkle in her daddy’s eye
Hypnotized
By the rhythm of her hips 
Momma’s hips
Gripping, tugging, releasing him
Encouraging the venom 
Pulsating, quaking: 
The laxative 
Voyaging through the passages

Welcome to the world
A brand new baby girl!
Simple mind under the curls
Just sucks on her bo-bo   
She...

the entrance to my mind 
the gateway to my heart 
the arch to my emotions 
delivered through a doorway...

unrhymed quatrain 


The cutting wind that bellows and then whispers 
deceiving in it's lull only to cut through and back when we turn
memories awakened and transported in irreversible succession 
shifting the moments played out as unworthiness clasps the frozen images 

Impatient as the sequence of events flashes in...

Sit here and watch
Buzz of bazaar crowd;
Adrenaline rush


Chinatown fragrance
Odd and strange;
Familiar nostalgia 


Old men staring
Blank faces recite;
Long forgotten tales


Age brings unrest
Reflections on mirrors;
Stagnant marshes


When you see me
Do I see you;
Familiar shadows mingle


One by one
You pass me by;
Solitary shadow


Lonely scarecrow
Straw marionette;
Harvest leftover


Day turns to night
Day flushes...

Frozen rain fell from the pane of her window as she woke to the sound of whispering 
voices:
"Daphne! Wake up! Get out of your bed, walk spiralling stairs to the doors in your 
head!"
Coral and iris then glittered the night, like a shattered shimmer of...

Grief Passages Rewritten

Shards of shame lay splintered in unresolved pieces ~
 Bits of crystal if only intentions not repairable

Minutes of I wish regret unreachable, not revived ~
 Lifeless echoes sighing with no resuscitation

In a whirlwind tornados uproot shallow graves ~
 Screams at the unknowable why...

Rites of passage
Chinese wedding protocol;
Traditional rules apply


Listen to the wind
Late night howling;
Pregnant with heavy rain


Last bus zooms away
Deserted street empty;
Lost hope in late hours


Reason makes no sense
Bustling local haunt bankrupt;
Despite brisk business


Lost in the vast mall
Seek location map;
Stop for directions


Rainy nightfall
Croaking frogs;
Cicada orchestra


Simple strides profound
Write...

Work word magic
Line after line;
Feel poignant purge


To write is risky
Touch of insanity;
Satisfying mood swings


Joy in wild moments
Tragic comedy;
Comic tragedy


Love is
Too busy to know;
Why or when or how


Head cracked from
Too much thinking;
Should feel more somehow


Echoes of eternity
In this instance;
Look and listen


By blue moonlight
Hear stray voices;
Yet nothing...
