Long Scrunches Poems

(alternately christened great insight
to those who Braille)

if lucky forthcoming praise
will yours truly to bask

and bathe with short lived,
while I quaff vintage
amber liquids out the
golden silver...

Failure

In the buckets of doubts
Slowly, calm my mind goes blank
Hopping, stooping, running, oh, the race is tiresome
What! Who to tell? 
Maintaining it pains
Having it gone much more
Most especially when it’s from stress

As beauty pierces one's...

Grunt grunt below the gutter 
The man of the sewer works
With his big old rusty spanner 
He twists the pipes, the nuts and bolts
That struggle to hold the metal that jolts
The rats and roaches scamper...

In the domain of dainty dawn gentle zephyr flows,
rippling the lustrous facade of the placid lake.
On the lap of the silky lotus leaf floating lonely,
rolls restless a dazzling drop of water.

The sparkling rays of the...

In the dreaming domain 
of dainty dawn 
gentle zephyr flows,
ripples the radiant facade 
of the placid pond,
where
on the lilting lap 
of a silken lotus leaf, 
floating forlorn,
rolls restless 
a rain drop,

I couldn't see his face behind the hat.
They were lightning by the sun.
Maybe because he is a stranger?
He didn't understand me and tilted his head, I laughed.

The long fun bantering conversations
Eye to eye
Lazer beams
Side by side
In the crowd
Walking into the evening glow
Over the glasses of umerock and namachuu
The smooth and calm sway of the train
Our reflections in the window
Talking until there...

Now, so suddenly.
You carry a halo around you.
The ones I don't used to see.
Everything. All at once.
Visibly, electrifying the layers of my skin.

Walking in unexpectedly smiling instantly at me.
Peace signs used to be overrated.
I couldn't...

Your face is aglow this Valentines night,
A shimmering oval in pale moonlight.
Your hair, shifting gently as in a breeze,
As you sit and gaze, completely at ease.

Your eyes are limpid pools of smokey grey,
Your nose is...

Oh McDonald's
You’re the happy death of me
Your sweet, creamy chocolate covered 
Dip vanilla ice-cream cones are the best

Oh McDonald's
You’re the happy death of me
That Big Mac 
With double beef patties
 Double cheese
Lettuce, pickles, onions
Mingled with...

Spring
My nose never
Ever
Itches 
Or aches
It just sits on my face
Smelling the freshly 
grown flowers

But you
You made spring 
come early
You made my nose twitch
You made my eyes swell
I tried to blame it on
Allergies
But your apologies 
Got...

She scrunches her nose, like a person.
She folds her ears back, like only she can.
I drink coffee in hopes it will be a cozy time with her on my lap, and a book in hand.
But...
