GuidelinesSometimes beliefs that we held in our youth
Lose the certainty we once regarded as truth,

What still fits us or what is beginning to shred.
Simply clinging...

TransitionsTransitions and Contrasts: Just like the Seasons
Scorching, sweltering, drying, draining
The Candle of the Sky, now a supernova
Chirping birds cry out for drops of draught,
The strays of streets too, dying or suffering.
The poor farmer’s heart, broken,

Butterfly poems
Hues and fluttering,
Beauty in a microcosm,
In and out of sight.
An egg first; and then
Caterpillar; then in womb;
Then I rise, I fly.
Scent of pheromones;
She glides and circles and soars
He showers...

BetrayalIn shadows cast by promises, they stood,
A pact of hearts, in solidarity, they would.
With whispered vows, they faced the black,
Together they'd journey, never looking back.
Through trials and tribulations, they did endure,
Their friendship, a beacon, unwavering...

WhenWhen you slip by tongue or doing
The tape of those mementos revealing
Stand firm or sit reviewing
Grade and growth equals becoming.

The whole world seem soaked in chaos
The meek and humble...

They beautifully appear at night when I'm asleep
I hear their sweet whispers when I sit with my higher self
Like a waxing moon, I can feel the luminous rise

In a Train Station
In a Train Station
Quickly we had our breakfasts
Then we both gazed
At the station clock
The morning train is late
Everything is wet
At night, the rain poured heavy
I listened to it
Hitting the bricks on the roof.
So tasty...

If the vacuuming has not...
