Short Xiao Poems

intuition, thoughts invade the night,
am i, have the one that's right,
ask the question deep within,
of him watch for frown or grin,
shows doubt, 
evict the cat tonight
damn right...

thank you Linda Xiao....

An ode to Xiao Lings question .

The day begins in mystery.
It is the moments we live.
From the heart, need to give.
At days end, becomes history.

At sun rise, it begins again.
For so many, life is routine.
A never ending chorus, unseen.
At sun set, life’s only refrain.

My dear Xiao Ling .
The road awaits, it doth sing .

OH ! to spend this day with you – such pleasure !!!,
for me, it would be, what a wonderful treasure !!!
Harrison, patiently awaits our coming.

Acers of many coloured Tulips, beckoning.
The skies of soft Salvador Dali, blue,
waiting to shine down upon me and you.

XIAO LING

You are a Beautiful Mystery, I would love to solve. 
You are a Secretive Soul, I want to know, your secrets. 
I want to unlock, unravel, open the doors. 
I want to dance with your skeletons. 
I want to lay with your ghosts.
I would love to be your facilitator, 
the expediter of your precious dreams, 
be able to make them all come true, 
be your Dream !

The Heart

You pulled on the strings of my heart.
Dragged me from out of the dark.
Laid me before the light of the moon.
Passion and desire, you caused me to swoon.

Xiao Ling, you do bring reason to live
yet I am not sure why ?, to me you give
and keep me at arms length ?

My resolve is losing strength.
I do not know, my Dear, where to go,
for what ever you hold inside, I do not know.

XIAO LING
My Fading Sun Shine

Clouds silently slipped in on the bright spot,
those last beautiful moments, with you , I got.
Now I sit in reflection, in gloom,
in my four cornered room.

 It happened and your send off was in a shower of tear
drops, sentiments that represent all that I fear.
Fear that, with me, never again will you be near,
except that is, in all the memories I hold so dear.

Ghostly figure in white
Wearing the oni mask
Softly plays the heavenly jade xiao
gleaming in the moonlight
Underneath the peach blossom trees 
A sweet fragrance in the air 
Near the pagoda waits
Like a Ghost in the night
Playing the song of the sea and waves
On haunted isle
While peach blossoms swirl around
Eastern evil waits patiently
Awaiting the day his daughter comes home






note: based on Huang Yaoshi from the 2017 chinese drama legend of the condor heroes....
