Late Night

Lofting lazily
Enter murky depths of feel
Quivering eyelids
Two heavy from the weight of
The thoughts that lead me astray

(2013)

Tanka about the temptations of staying up late at night in front of the computer screen.

Foggy Sky

Foggy morning sky Your veil remains untouched by The flags of Autumn How cruel of you to kidnap Such keen keepsakes of your kin
Night write

The darkest of nights It is on these nights I turn To these keys, clicking Fervently beyond reason Behind safely shadowed doors
Falling

Red and orange glitter Dancing delicately high Above winding paths Falling to the great grey streams Falling for grace, or duty?
Echo Cocoon

Why does music speak Without line or threads of time We plug ourselves in Forming an echo cocoon Never wanting to come out

Classes of Thunder

Just for a moment To glimpse from dusty pages A single white flash Tenuous seconds follow Until a roaring reply
Letter to an important person part 1

Words without meaning An open mouth seems empty Trying to express Something that dances lightly Forefront of a clouded heart
Frog concert

Howling and wailing Like the vast October winds Delightful to find Many who share the same chord Sing till frogs jump in our throat…
Closer than ever before

Tiny flashing lights Figures entwine together Closer and closer ‘closer than ever’ they say Beside our computer screens
(*insert generic love poem title here*)

To etch a love song No earthy ink can suffice Only color drawn From such a naive heart-well Could paint even an inkling
Crooked Poster

Self-expressional Crooked poster on the wall Self-intentional Will you shatter, will you fall? Who will fix your frame of old?
In plain sight

To hide in plain sight Something we all yearn for, but Our differences Do not belong in the mud For mud cannot be polished
My white cloak (Version 2)

The spotlight glares down Bright, bright, sight, sight My cloak swiftly surrounds White, White, Swish, Swish, The fabric shell billows but stays
Black and white waters

Archaic toiling Through endless character streams To drown deeper still Beneath black and white waters Until I breathe symbolly
Poetic Warfare

To puddle one’s words Few are willing to admit Myself least of all To fall and land upon earth Closer to Earth than before?
Oranges

Such sweet aroma Breathe in the color deeply Exhale precious wafts Crisp Citric spiral peelings, Fill my compost disposal
