Black Coffee MemoriesAs we wait for the day
To start over anew
We watch the sunrise
Dry the morning dew.
You have a paper,
And I have a bowl
This drink has stained everything,
Even seeped to our souls.
When we were younger
We would dance...

This Old HouseYou open the door
And hear a creak.
A longing for what once was,
But never again will be.
No souls lie contained.
Only memories live here.
Do not be afraid,
It’s only a House, dear.
The Old House is lonely.
Look at...

The life of a PencilI have been pushed and pulled,
Across an empty expanse,
Growing smaller and smaller with time.
Used until nothing was left for me to do.
I watched as they used others,
breathing life within their blood.
That once blank place.
That once...

Self-ContemplationI feel like I lost a piece of myself
When our love fell apart.
When I'm alone, I always thinks
That everything's gonna be alright.
Loneliness makes me look back at myself
And realized things I've never seen before....

Where Tides once GossipedWhere tides once gossiped for many an hour
about what lovers share; like grapes gone sour,
the strong opinions o’ friends will minds devour.
A reputation guarded against smut
and smiles that’s ever radiant abut
the cultivated, fertile soil...

Ode to Charlie Brown's ChristmasOur picture frame window
Is garlanded with evergreen limbs
Twined in white twinkling lights pinecones and fairy bells
And outside
From the dinner time dark that is a week before Christmas
Santa waves
Lit up like a little lantern
The hope for...

For Morrows Christmas Silent nights and silent days
Silver pines of yesterday
Still-celebrating reprise
of rosy cheeks and snowy heights
of treetop angels and brilliant lights
Glowing bulbs and flying sleds
Destiny in dreamy beds
for morrow’s Christmas
is presenting and unwrapping
Springtide memories are clapping...

The GenieIf you had a genie in a bottle
and it told you that you could make any 3 wishes
You would not wish for gold

you would not wish for fame.
You would wish...

Of life I can riddle and write on through
Until the paper's a waste, and the words are bad taste
And I can't tell fiction from true

My lost cousinI sat on a chair completely nervous
to know where I would do my youth service.
Then came the rudest shock of my whole life,
I'd have to go up north where strifes were rife.
I didn't even try...

______________
All required to explain,
Was the spoon full of taste.
Taste of earth,
The taste of the sun,
Going up and down in symphony.
Little dolls,
Recreating its system
Choosing the right and wrong in various flowers.
A secret tunnel,
To the other...

Cyber Affair
Another night, an empty page as yet untouched; impatiently
awaits some thought, some hope, some dream... it lies there, almost tauntingly;
as if to say... "You call yourself a poet?... No, I don't think so;
you play with...
