watching young lovers passing on the trail
Perseids streak across the dark skies

A woman's beauty
Lies not in her nudity
But in the functionality of her brain
And the direction of her thought's train.

Indian Ocean

Her body was the sea 
Hips were the tides 
I used to ride my canoe in the morning 
The current always got rough at night

Young Love

The petals open perfumed
the stamens offer pollen
fruit grows to full round ripeness
petals dry fruit falls

but whenever I saw you
they poured out like a fountain—
a sudden sparkle,
a beauty I couldn’t contain.

Foggy Night

foggy night
a cobweb catches
the glow of fluorescents

Walk on the same road
It was the same approach
But lonely footprint
There is only my feet printed
Memory of You is float.

And though I like both their poems
Death isn’t gonna catch me.
