Once upon a time no fairy taleFrom the start,
you have made assumptions.
I had something
or I was someone.
It was all
in your wild imaginations,
I did not
plan it to happen.
I meant no
harm, was really innocent.
I did not
lie, pretend or act,
To deceive, hurt
or harm you deliberately.
Just that I
did not know you,
Not well at
all to correct you,
To...

Grandstanding
with dusk approaching
the radiance of the day
melts in the rain
streetlights smear
the autumn colours
across the footpaths
doubling the display
of chromatic foliage
autumn is just gloating

Autumn Days
the chill of a lazy rainy sunday
a good book by the fireplace
surely this is food for the soul

AUTUMNI can still see a picture long gone,
waves of the ocean welcome and greets every edge of it.
The shedding leaves,
Then a thunder,
Reminds me of that picture with many cracks.
But just like autumn,
would the picture be also flowering in the near future?
Its shadow lingers around my thoughts, every glimpse of it reminds me of a new...

Saturday With Frank O'Hara
Mid Autumn, Saturday 6.30am
and daybreak is slowly climbing
over the back fence.
Frank O'Hara's poetry is still
echoing in my head from reading
it last night as I cook breakfast
of bacon and eggs.
Later I walk up the street
to the chemist to get
my blood pressure pills
and as I walk, compile arguments
against Postmodernism
and recognise that the notion...

my senryu poetry must suck
silent words cascade
unseen, unheard, fade away—
lonely ink weeps dreams
words fall like dead leaves
no hand stirs to hold their weight—
autumn of the soul
untouched art cries out
silent beauty lost to void—
a poet unseen

F for final farewell and finish2025.4.14.
I have started writing diary since May last year.
Eventually, my diary's style, transformed to poem like.
After five months of losing friendship with BB,
By the end of the year,
I rested a bit. I was emotional exhausted.
I started posting my poem in mid January this year,
When JC introduced me to the poetry world.
Every thing went well so...

ScarIf I were that scar above your rose tinted lips,
of whom you keep picking and removing dead cellular dust,
out of hatred that rises from your porous subcutaneous layer
of insecurity,
I probably would have bled more than you think.
I couldn't have shed tears, possibly.
But I've heard every little wound needs love to heal,
And so will I-
your dearest...

Autumn Scene
Climbing cotton clouds float away
across canvas of summer sky.
Birds bathe in blue bay,
to amber nest they fly.
Autumn comes with golden spray.
Sunburst horizon’s chromatic drape drawn,
splits sunbeam in spectral splendor.
Sky spills colors of dawn,
air sways cinnamon grass slender
in malachite meadow, turning fawn.
The crown of topaz dew
shines with...

Rain and SeasonsI wait for the rain,
So it may express what I never could.
—And when it falls, I want it to pour relentlessly,
To match the depth of my devastation.
Though it can't last forever—
Somehow I want my devastation to fade away;
Like rain sometimes does.
I want my heartache to change like seasons do,
I need to know what—spring, summer, autumn,...

In a late autumn, when the last leaf sways on the branch of fateIn a late autumn, when the last leaf sways on the branch of fate,
I have not learned to love, only to possess, to capture in threads of connections,
Fragile yet unyielding ties, a dance of possession that knows not love,
It's more than obsession, yet not quite possession, an enigma without answer.
I do not let feelings live...

The music and I2025.4.11
Every day, I get up early, travel to M Central.
I waited for the piano to be available.
As soon as I opened its lid,
I wiped the keyboard clean.
Well, that perfectly fitted my nickname "Captain hygiene".
Currently, the first piece of music
Would always be the "Fall for you",
I did that to welcome the Autumn season.
As well as my...

Spring to FallSpring
Bouquet
Bulbs appear
Flower petals
Rejoice and open
Spreading joyful color
As trees awaken with buds
Attracting bees and butterflies
Songbirds have returned to feed and nest
Nature explodes as springtime has arrived
Nature’s fiesta has come to an end
Days are shorter as darkness commends
Songbirds are migrating in flocks
Vibrant leaves swirl in the wind
Branches become barren
Trees become sleepy
Hibernation
Hiatus
Restful
Fall
