Flame Of Water
...Like the semblance of an oil painting
This flame of water

in a white porcelain bowl.

And it's within this odyssey

Just a glimmer a poke
Transparencies dawns then shines on me

Wayward Hearts
...I’m not sure if
the way we feel
has much to do with the way

Reminding me of tomorrow's vision.
