Inked Lyrics

rings of tears cover
letters smeared in abstract blue hue
your love can still be trace

in your inked lyrics
a parting gift from your heart
from across the ocean



For One Deep Breath and Message in a Bottle

One Moment

walking through the cold rain
pass store windows and city lights
I daydream about you
raindrops hides your face from me
for just a moment, just one


For One Deep Breath

Vision

I have never saw
a rainbow - not in the sky
not in the blue sea

not in my coffee
or even in a child' eye
then you came along

rainbows I never saw
but that didn't matter now
because you saw me


For One Deep Breath

Frost

This entry is for One Deep Breath. The prompt is: Frost.

I decided to enter this for the Write Stuff Poetry contest. The theme is: cold, bitter. I thought this fits the theme just right.

leaves in icicles
nature's young hearts encased
in winter's ice home

born on winter's end
tomorrow still exist for
those standing still in

winter's frosted air
shattered but not broken
waiting in the shadows

in hopes of seeing
the sun's rays spinning in the naked sky
to allure us to a

metamorphic state
life's fragile smile upon us
hope here at world's end

The Moon

the moon is following me
a feeling of wistfulness
overwhelm me with ire

I stare without awe
and start throwing rocks at it
striking just the right spot

it flicker once, twice
then falls into the still water
leaving no ripples

there it lays waiting
a flat marble upon the world
it tells me to jump in

I laugh a quiet laugh
I wonder if I should and
what harm would it do?

I smile not knowing why
and run straight towards the water
my feet barely touch ground

my heart racing like mad
near the water, feeling fearless
I jump without rue

into the white moon
sending ripples everywhere
breaking the silent night

I begin to sink
all the way down, into the blue canvas
drifting ever slowly

to the bottomless cold
where it force me to wake up and
open my eyes to see

through the thin layer of
moving water, the moon
now hangs high above

a fractured self
for a moment, all is calm
I swim to the surface

out of the bleak water
I look up at the moon and
wonder what I saw

up there, the moon still waits
for what? I haven't any idea
why does it make me feel so blue?


For One Deep Breath

Giving

This entry is for One Deep Breath. The prompt is: Giving.

everything you are
seep with tender emotions
spread among us like

wildfire of life
small gestures of warmth
makes our heart smile

drench your mind in this
moment of real happiness
give only yourself

Beauty

This entry is for One Deep Breath. The prompt is: A Kind of Beauty

be an amateur
admire not outer beauty
but layers within

------

there is no beauty
without the inner layer
for others to see
