close to shore,
tippy-toes.

The coconut permeates the dawn,

Washing all the beauty to an ugliness of brown.
Homes are ruined, with memories loss, by heavy drowning-floods.

My Love is Like Cyanoacrylate

...My love is like cyanoacrylate glue,
Wherever you go, it sticks to you.

In Memoriam

...Warm Summer night’s fun
Grill smoke permeates the air 
Missing you lingers

Fulcrum of a rose

...A long-stemmed rose ...
Her finest silk gown of vermilion petals 
unfurls in rhapsody of a bride's embrace.
A dewy little face of splendor looks up
and permeates the air with waves of scent.
