Dragon Lady

There is a flame
in her painted red mouth.
I'm doused in the gasoline
of self doubt.
Together we make a forest fire
out of a glint on an incense tip.
A slighting remark
turns into a chain argument
spreading fast across town.
The dragon lady and I
meshed in anger and hatred
of a burning world.


Premium Member Farewell My Child

At Gateway yin

Long sham temple

Pink laced Taipei doll

 Sealed Carmine red lips 

Chiseled etched 

Fine porcelain 

From the four 

Corners horn 

Erected  during 

monsoon

Dragon tail rains 

Swept gale winds

Funnel golden sand

Through pearly whites

That smile no more

Slighting the whitest Pearl

Ever Beautiful

Lifeless love soul

Dress eroded salty seas 

Passages are lingering..

Echoes
Form: Ode

Glass

We lie here together
Feet touching feet, Knee to knee
You and me, weaved into
a tangled messy heap

Your hair explodes across your pillow
A cloudy burst of brunette
Your breathe sighs a heavy relief
Slighting both our past

A past that ask tread carefully
Into a future of shattered glass
Brittle and already broken
Feet bloodied along its path

So what is one more splinter?
Into the souls of which we walk
From a  life born into attrition
And deliverance by those we love
