Little Poem Series: Nectar

Heaven's blustery winds 
are under her sheets, 
over the curvature, an arc  
ripening our bodies moist,
grazing her trim bush,
upon my long brush,

          and plum 
        is her berry.

Little Poem Series: Suddenly

Disillusionment
is no doubt a mirage
and to wake up one morning
with dawn’s recollection
as to be like, a slumber like any other,
just to realize,
your destiny suddenly has changed.
It’s unfathomable.

Little Poem Series: Vow

Meet me, rose 
and we’ll sway till we wilt. 

Marry me your word,
and we’ll ring till dead.

Little Poem Series: Circadian

In search of my rhythm,
I feel the dawn’s early rise
and the dwindling fall
of a moon’s sigh.
I'll shine forth my tone.
A sonorous glow.
Night or day.
Dark and light.
We're up in the sky.

Little Poem Series: Memory

Everything 
is a dark fog 
when I try to think light of it all.

Nothing 
is a dark light and 
when I’m in it, it’s an empty fog.

Little Poem Series: the Sky Whispers

I wonder about you
and saying that
feels abstract. 

I’m trying
to touch you,
know you,
see you,
feel you, 
but it’s
only if I’m alive

I wonder about you.

Little Poem Series: Persistence of Memory

Tirelessly inevitable.
Age has an implosive nadir.
The surprise creaks of pain
like a sudden realization, 
inextricably perceptible. 
         Leaden mirrors.
               Dust follicles.
                      Mirages. 
Undyingly entropic.
