• drinking in the park ~ homeless man writes poetry ~ talking to the birds
• in the hospital ~ listening to the beeping ~ of his tell-tale heart
• reading Poe at night ~ hearing a tap-tap-tapping... ~ rain on the window
• frozen in the sky ~ watching the snowflakes dancing ~ falling star escapes
• ghosts of butterflies ~ swirl past unopened cocoons ~ riding on snowflakes
• the bright voyeur moon ~ quietly peeks in my room ~ then sneaks dead away
• to run in the wind ~ not knowing that heartbreaks ~ are but luxuries
• the echoing drip ~ from a hidden waterfall ~ the cavern's music
• the dark clouds lighten ~ after dropping their troubles ~ on the backs of trees
• lying on my chest ~ warming my soul while he sleeps ~ God's purring machine
• from street-lit caverns, ~ gutters dripping waterfalls... ~ night rains of music
• she and I alike, ~ tossing pebbles in the stream ~ ripples meet sometimes
• I'm watching her dream ~ from thousands of miles away ~ laying next to me
• cold, crisp morning light ~ shining bright on my worries ~ making them sleepy
• The bad dogs of words ~ never coming when you call ~ knowing the way home
• they all chose the blue ~ but inside his quiet heart ~ he held a green stone
• like shards of sharp glass ~ reflecting a thousand suns, ~ my brave broken heart...
• it is hardly fair ~ that he can both sing and fly ~ while I watch, earthbound
• first time seeing snow, ~ ferret catches a snowflake ~ and it disappears...
• dreams tap my shoulder ~ my door creaks itself open ~ the sky says "up here..."
• scratching at the door ~ with a realistic dead mouse ~ yowling trick or treat
• so quickly, snowflakes ~ asking me why? then melting ~ before I can speak
• tattered, edges frayed ~ I pull it over your pain ~ my heart's worn blanket
• to face the dark ~ and yet, at the last moment ~ not turn away
• thief in my pockets ~ ferret steals my wallet while ~ picking my heart's lock
• native girl praying ~ for the forest animals ~ before the storm comes
• we are God's canvass ~ on which He fingerpaints life ~ beaming like a child
• still filled with water ~ her vase of wilted roses ~ and his unread card
• morning shivering, ~ the roaring night burns out ~ blurry-eyed star winks
• little deaf girl sings ~ two sparrows sing harmony ~ on the fence, unseen
~
