tall sweet grass sways silently,
Charleston Bay sighs.

Melodies of SunsetWhere fleecy clouds, on rosy-quilt meandered,
Motifs amethystine wowed tangerine horizon
Embroidering on magenta arc, designs crimson,
Beckoned by blushed-musings of marigold sun
Spraying amber gold, on burnt-yellow attire,
Scattering breaths sapphire, on periwinkle fire;
As tunes chrysanthemum, sung of eve’s...

Somewhere in a dusty cupboard.
Somewhere behind old paper, older words, and wounds older still.
Somewhere no one can find it.
I think about it, sometimes.
Sometimes, when I breathe.
Sometimes, when I exhale puffs of...

LoopAlong the South Banks,
I sat staring at the river
Shimmering in city lights,
Ferries gliding by,
Occasional airplanes in the sunset sky

Upon this new spring evening.
Winds are whispering
Lovely birds are all chirping,
As the trees are all blossoming....

Silence
The wrinkles of the rug cast sunlight on a pug
Who splayed out her hind legs backwards
And as I left, I looked back and paused
As her face fell silently
Onto
her paws.

SunsetThe day comes to an end and night draws near
Where the shadows are cast but vision is clear
The sun fights back with a vibrant show
With colors on the horizon that don't want to go
