9001 in blood line

unfounded fears spring
as i blend with darkness
barefoot marching muddy path
cloak by drooping branches
stepping puddles making noise
driving away territorial creatures
by light of pretty fading stars
and thought of having mission
inside me boiling with desire
to save a life so dear to me
i would be lost without

i did my part but not enough
to pull from tight grip of dust
left me wandering on foothills
clueless, chasing darting beaks
launching unforgiving marbles
touch of feathers is simple lust
but for a kid, emotional peaks
that brings cheers and laughs

now, i know it’s losing effort
but i’m still here trying to help
how much more of this episode
will come to this withering root
to be wipe out never understood


... for my sister
“ i love you”

9002 left with breath

tiny footprints on murky pool
lead to broken branches; path
hidden on ledge of mountain
disguise as rock formation
only clawed-feet could pass
to reach bosom of crimson

petals adore rays from a gap
slowly wilt to ravage of time
dried tears from silent cries
touched hearts across blue lake
leaves fell turn to dust, gone
hope fades left with breath

flood of tears filled path
multiple feet passed to visit
with gifts, praises, prayers
left; everything washed away
only vivid memories remain
that i would be in silence
every time moments came

... rest now my loving sister
you’re my hero. i always make
you proud of me before,
now and forever.012409(16).

9003 two creatures march

so grateful with open ears
offered comfort through
whispers; reached deep
eased throbs to ground
yet, mist covered eyes
beneath fabrics; darkness
wishes otherwise; with
hidden smile; i breathe

un-easiness brush my lungs
a certain discomfort felt
i close my eyes; picture past
rain on valley covered grass
two creatures march to sunrise
clouds deny; still with smile
to see all pupils all seated
embarrassed i cower in corner
for whole class an eternity

when bell’s ring i run outside
there she was with ice cream
and whisper “it will be alright”
i went back with fire in heart
i keep it wherever i maybe
even now, that she is gone

9004 whisper on their feet

breaks of dawn is quiet
palms bow their leaves
tired from yesterday
collected few sunlight
between candlelight
vessel of calmness rest

few gazes brush top
purse lips and a sigh
trickle of salty drips
from loving eyelids
palms clasp on chest
whisper on their feet

brave fingertips reach
left mark faded; wet
murmurs of prayers
caress lonely beats
battle done for now
v for hungry earth

silent killer lurks
in the blood line

9005 i would be free

puzzle hangs over my head
my breath won’t end with
metals lodge in my heart
nor rapid oxidation that
will tear me into pieces
nor gas that deprives me
of oxygen, hardened lungs

already deep inside me
dormant ready to strike
when i’m not aware
seed flows in red line
has life of its own
if i can move all my cells
like i can move my fingers
i would be free; free to breath

nature’s design i’m hopeless
but i keep the fight, i starve
to carry less weight, i move
to delay killer already inside
top it off i refrain from stress
that will take me off guard
certain death like anybody else

122404 ENJOYING COOL BREEZE

i sense tempting longing
throbbing deep inside of me
i feel you squeeze my hand
you turn and look me into my eyes
you lean on me, feeling your warmth
i have my hands around your waist
carressing softness of your skin

i want to kiss your lips
you move so quickly
my lips brushing your cheek
feeling my breath like whisper
pushing your cheeks against mine
gently stroking my chest
with your sharp fingernails

i look up trying to reminisce
i caught a glimpse of falling leaves
so gently, falling to darkness
landing on pond sending ripples
to innocent lives, like us
enjoying cool, pulsating breeze
beneath silent gazing trees

122403 WRESTLING DREAMS

tell me, tell me please
what have you seen
why you’re smiling
hold that thought, princess
let me feel, feel your heart
and i tell you what’s all about
come closer and cast your fear

ha! it’s somewhere
somebody already have
do you know, i know
you can have two
one reserve for you
why you looking at me
as if i lost my mind

i never lose what i wish to have
but i could gain ... like love
now tell me then, why so lonely
all alone on this time of a day
looking at stars, a sky away
would you rather be wrestling
your dreams in solace of evening

122402 SMILING FACE

what are you doing
may i ask; princess
walking in coolness of dusk
are you not afraid of dark
shadow would steal
your lonely heart
play with it all night

could i take you
to safety of light
you can talk to me
if you ever feel alright
i could hold your hand
so you know
i’m still with you

would you sing, me
a lovely song
so i have something
to dream of when i’m all alone
or look deep into my eyes
i believe you know where truth lies,
smiling face and tender hands

122401 CASTING SHADOW

i could be butterfly
passing you by
on your lonely stroll
in calmness of fall

i would be circling
over your head
watching your ribbon
so pretty, lovely laid

there’s rose garden nearby
i’ll pick loveliest one
sip nectar; rub my wings
then fly to your hand

whispers i wanted to hear
hidden in your lips, so near
let me listen to your voice
so sweet, melody of yours
