Understanding Why

Some things unsaid by
bamboos quiet in a pose of repose;
there are shivers in the
chords of leaves 
unseen by glances from
eyes unread.
And still,
they close and bow,
things must have been
said from the depth of 
a heart bursting not with words
but of silence understood
and affirmed.

October Bliss

each gesture flickers

blazing multicolored tones

huffed breaths sing of olden notes

October shimmers

on marshland pathways bound to gleam

before winter shifts to white

White As Sand

I reach for you when my soul  is dreary
when the choice between "one more time”
 and " not ever" leaves me 
screaming at  the edge of surrender,
white as pale sand , not knowing
what is "right" and what "could have become". 

You reach for me when the whitened zephyr
is one last breath – as the tenor 
of your voice pulls me from this 
empty existence. This haunting ghost
of  life’s chapters hisses , devoid of light
slain by a frosty cry dressed as goodbye.

But, should I stand within the realm  
of mercy that comes from letting go 
or the promise of your grains re-echoing
while brushed in your embrace ...
I choose the quite of my own power.

Time of May

Behold this hour soaring of bliss that brings,

the first of May adorned, by doves winging.

Bus Ride

while riding a bus

my wallet fell on the seat ---

a man called me thief

Springtime

The month of March is a sunshine 
pouring as effervescent vanilla
on through the floral pageantry
of tangerine ever glowing--
sun-kissed a golden yellow,
and dashes of the whispering rain
that spice a chilly earth
to waft springtime's minty aroma.

Retracing Hearts' Moments

Recalling today is a token of life's affection,
I bestow a kiss on her paling cheeks 
as we pace in a garden, she on a rolled chair-
muttering,"Hello, is there a party out there?"
Incidents shared haze like  when we fell in love,
a tingle within from our first- built house ,
the splendor of our newborn's cry --
decades' photographs folded and reopened.
 
Now,we celebrate in bittersweet ways,
unearthing our dreams and milestones
repeating stories for her to own back , again
just like garden times shining in our eyes.
Roses I cuddle to adorn her. Will she know
a glimpse of time's pleasures---just one bit?
Somehow, she nods like renewed morn
Her eyes glow, " A gift from a friend ,perhaps."

Remains of An Ache

The moon will fade and reset a new day,

but Springtime's rebirth blooms

to remind soil of morn;

when amethyst fields from my window's glass

kissed our wounds in swift depart

leaving abiding ache.

Beholden

Each milestone sees him as evenings enfold
Where crystals touch his soul with chilling cold,
A lantern shines through his painted face
While his robe waves upon a steady pace,
Until he comes to an old trove without doors
Which felt welcoming like glown summer shores,
And he slumbered on grass greener than mould
Through the moon's shaft, he watched God's eyes, behold.
