Premium Member Hammock of Wind

a seed I am, my silky hair loose without band.
a voyager on a hammock of wind-
drifting up and down with no compass to direct.
the sky warmly greets, nothing to obstruct.

I carry no heavy burden or luggage
if I plunge on land, I will manage,
to tether my roots deep down,
into soil to be reborn a thistledown.

Abandoned Angels

We played a lot of games,
the stars dancing of their loud laughs.

They seemed cluster of angels
surrounded me with their songs too.

I wanted to close my eyelids,
to listen their innocent voices.

Their sadness was still very lucid,
like hanging thistledown in space.

And their midnight painful pules,
cleaved and grinded me unceasingly.

Premium Member Butterfly Dreams-Nursery Rhyme

There was an old woman, who lived in town,
She had seven cats, all of whom wore frowns,
When crimson butterflies left, each sundown,
Off to their sweet dreams, in the thistledown.

Much more fun to run in sun and green grass,
Then going to bed, with pearl moon, at last;
But, in puss dreams, butterflies made a splash,
They were all colors flying, while cats dashed!
