Giggling with the high-mast light
Twinkling not with the stars, but with rays of illumination
Coming from the back windows of a thirty storey mansion, 
There stands in the balcony, like...

all the bridges burnt
no matter how hard you try

Bamboo vines swaying
Sunlit hours casting shadows;
Darkness swallows light

~~~~~~~~~


Eyelids fluttering
Fatigue closes window blinds;
Dreamy landscapes call

~~~~~~~~~

One transcendental fragment;
Frozen time reveals

Raindrops streaking lines
Lightning camera flashing;
Still life photo shot

Marathon runner
Forty-two kilometres;
Adrenaline rush

Pink watermelon smiles...

Lava thoughts stream from my internal computer.  
Some days she rests with no gumption; 
today a seething volcanic monstrosity.
Muse has kicked into overdrive; she will have her feast.

Over worked, I am drained like a...

Night Comes

Night comes, the dark cloak that has swirled 
In the winds of living fleetingly hiding the light,
Now drapes the bed on which you lie. 
You lived more than the year you foretold;
Tenacity, obstinacy, lust...

I hate Spring
I hate Summer
My noes runs
Like a marathon runner

My eyes water
And they're red
My head aches
I need Sudafed

I feel deprived 
Of outdoor fun
For I get an attack
When I see the sun

I had a shot
I still...
