Short Blandly Poems

trailed by stardust
the first star of twilight
where i scatter my wishes

locked in the depths of mine

the gossamer breeze
caresses my skin
like a tongued whisper
escaping your winded breath
within the thrust of night

i arch myself blandly
in the contours of shadows
aglow with the lambency of moon
adrift in wishes of you...

Looking at the boy he used to be.

 And at the risk of me being a mere fallacy, all I ask is that you remember me......

Tarnished or burnished, of late from the store.'
reflections of glimmers..a world, outside my door..'

At shards of perception, I squint and I peer."
through the air, my conception still.' much is unclear )

you blandly gaze cold , though  re-sending suns rays
a friend without compunction? a mocker of age..

you dazzle the nations; or just one person at a time..'
a help to boxers, of't the ballet! & street artists 'in mime'
