Turn me on by your tranquil, no-drama-no-trauma tune
It will be noon soon,
My sweet maroon moon
Don't panic, maniac of mine...you're swimming in your lament lagoon

Toss this poem aside
to the filigreed and the wild tide

of night is in the despairing skies;
each hut shuts its bright bewildered eyes.

What Remains, When Love Outlives the Living

At the café where steaming cups held time hostage,
Eyes met and lingered, a glance stretched into an eternity.

And she, like...

Ghost HunterI don't see you.
I've been searching my whole life,
But still, I don't see you.
When I was a wee lad
I looked for you ...
My mother's smile,
My father's toil,
My brother's refuge,
My sister's amity ...
I didn't see you.
