Poor child crying his eyes out;
Clutching on with vice-like grip...
Peeling her child off her legs;
Sad mom heads to work.

petals crumbling… split from bones
ghosts of maples hanging low,
ashen backdrop tilts

Hilly CloudOn the head of Keokradong
I kissed the winter white cloud
Hugged with breaths of loneliness
Felt the reign of love

Inadvertent SignFrom the hair of waif-like scent
On the petals of the earth
The red lips of sleeping sea
Becomes love emblem

Overcastwhen another day begins
with cold, grey, overcast skies
foreboding shivers the mind...
uncertainty looms
clouds may mirror my musings
but, nevertheless, I scan
the sky searching for golden
streaks and blue demesnes...

Winter Solsticewinter solstice arriving...
shortest day and longest night...
silent trees gather forces
for returning light
lighter, longer, brighter days
saunter through the winter gloom...
light triumphs over darkness
renewal awaits...

Scared to Death
It startled me from behind
but it could not hold its grip,
for in my hands I grasped it
and twisted it dead....

THE BETRAYEDSo many times I was betrayed
By those I could move mountains for
Always confiding in them without fear
Forgetting change is constant
There blows the wind of change
Was stripped naked by the streets
I was denied love
By people...
