The HorizonI sailed towards the horizon
Where the ocean embraces the sky
Was this the edge of the world?
Would I tumble and fall?
The allure of the unknown
Captured my imagination
But the horizon kept expanding
As I sailed on
The sun...

Websuch artistry, tied to two trees
background of a neighbor’s house
which one is mere majestic
you’d say unhesitatingly, the web

The Sound of RainThe sound of rain
Acts as a balm to my overtaxed brain
Is a sweet lullaby
Relaxes my bewildered mind
The soothing downpour
Washes all my worries away
Induces me to be in the arms of Morpheus
In a peaceful repose....

Burnt ToastWhat a peculiar smell
The kitchen is burnt with the taste of raw chicken and rotten tomatoes
Too many dead flies lay upon the window sill
Waiting to be swept away with the closing of a curtain
And in...

Given to myself by my mother, given to herself by hers, and so on

UnbridledRain falls steady, I'm in bed
Wishing you could rest your head
Upon my chest, lie next to me
I would kiss you fervently
With not much time to catch a breath
My passion rising from the depths
Unbridled,...

Every WayI dream of us together
In every kind of way
Moonlight through the window
A silhouette displayed
In every kind of weather
My preference not too warm
I'd much prefer to make a fire
While blows a big snowstorm
A soft...

Dreams Within DreamsI walked on stage.
Singing one of Cyndi Lauper's songs.
I sang a sweet melody, and everyone sang along.

Realizing that it was just a dream.
I didn't hear...

Aimless WandererSuitcase packed
Going on a journey
No fixed plan nor agenda
Through the shady woods
A bonfire in the night
To a riverside camp
Angling by a stream
On a mountain trail
Where the snow capped peaks
Touch the sky...

Floating Golden LeavesGolden colored leaves
Floating in the river
Flowing in the stream
Going forward flow
Not knowing where
To go in the fate of time
Worries may go
And happiness fulfilled
Unison as they move
In multitude like ships
Floating in company
Life smooth sailing
In the ocean...

RatI followed a rat,
I watched it burn.

It saw a light but I watched it burn.
I followed a rat, dressed in all white—
The rat grew wings, but still,...
