 Toyota Revo
(triolet)

A four-wheel drive,even purchased as second-hand
Still runs smoothly and safe, never trundles around
With its superlative engine, mileage is grand
A four-wheel drive, even purchased as second- hand.
Best gasoline saver, once...

HANDMAIDEN OF MOON DANCING



fly me to stars in the thrill of one swan night
over a crescent arc to feel a flame of sighs,
teasing dreams so silent yet ever wild
and like a neon light, speak through...

4. THE EARLY TEENAGE YEARS
They say I’m now an adolescent because I’ve reached the teenage years
New school, new friends, new teachers, a whole new set of fears
I was supposed to wear my glasses, when attending...

When hunchbacked skulls drip of shrapnel stains
Of raked life quilted with torn-out noises, 
Watery clay defrosts past maimed pains 
As silk skies reap a smudge of roses  

Of raked life quilted with torn-out noises
How...

To ride the sea is a pleasure and a curse
as huddle of gulls, starfish dart from nowhere
enchanting frolic on breakers, they traverse
into buoyant laps with crystal tides so rare.
My arms swivel a distance while I...

As clusters of blooms rustle to sashay,
Peonies, roses, and lilies delight
With hints of peach, of gold in fine array!

Their rich fragrance wafts on a summer day
Adorning the lane with dewed petals bright;
As clusters of blooms...

"Give me more", my hunger rages, 8 
Write the rhymes and rip the pages. 8 

Leave the rhythm, change the rhyme, 7 
But wait, a syl-label was lost. 8 
I think the comma helped this...

I close my eyes and soon drift to another world,
and I find myself in a lush garden;
I hear ocean waves crashing on a shore,
a quiet voice is talking and I say, "pardon?"

Soon, I hear...

Blue tunnel glimmers where dome meets the ray
in cadence of  lulled sleep, its final veil...
the flight grows misty in a blooming sway
as my soul climbs the ladder of bright trail;
where heaven’s portal dips in...

In that stillness of a meadow
Quite uncanny yet deep,
When birds were mute and every tree
Gasped  feebly…   all asleep,

Throughout one hazy evening mist
Along my grief’s replay;
The tempo of the air echoed
From crackled weeds...

Dainty as a maiden embellished in deep violet,
She flutters through grassland, emitting a tangy perfume
And her bodice, luscious, drifts on an organza garment 
That reflects queenly admiration from a sunlight blessed:

How butterflies wheel around this...

I strut the lane of vagrancy
With breaths choking from evening’s plea,
As lampposts dip across the night
When love undone grates my delight;
Reflecting scenes... a cracked marquee.

Trapped in the void of emptied lea
A begging howls... my cries...

When harvest moon alights,
to sail like gauzy lace
on through a cloud’s embrace...
I watch her mystic rites,
as beaming, she excites
my lithesome hours of grace.

How glorious the view
atop a mountain crowned…
with lilies all around
that settle on her...

twinkle of distant stars 
and their positions in space
hold keys to our destiny
some of us believe

enchanting star patterns get
formed by those departed 
remind us they remain 
forever in our hearts 

the angels dance free

This misty river, scented sweet
From bare land you enthrall,
To quench the evening's sultry heat
Beside your cooling wall.

Low tide lends magic to this rite
To twirl upon the dew
Then lacquers every sand with white;
And powdered shades of...
