Short Sundew Poems

The pursuit of a rainbow 
    in the tiger sanctuary.
       Mathematics fails.

             *

     Sundew 
invites you to taste the flesh.
     You fall like a guilt.

             *

      The pink moon 
melts down in your dream. You
       will not touch the flame.

Drinking from the portrait 
of an alienated moon
in a self-taught remedy?

I was looking very
hurt in the muse,which
had failed the earth.

I wanted to say, my
sun was my sun,
broken, eclipse by eclipse.

Who was traitor to oneself ?
Sifting the leaves of a
raptor,to find the death

under the shade of
sundew, which blooms
when you become an insect.

To all the dead flowers your colors remain;
The future is budding with an echoed hue,
there is a glimpse in the cleansing rain;

Trapped inside you’re fed to a sundew 
energy transformed but still it grows;
Generations will come to know you; 

A relentless spirit does not decompose,
held by others it’s amplified and lives on;
Your aura becomes even more grandiose; 

Pollinating your passion is the mission,
mastering this ability one in a million....
