Old soil, New roots
I carry old things / like pressed lilies. / They no longer bloom,

when days turn hard, / I close my eyes, / to see what's left

Slowly my imagination fades / That creative side of yesterday / I bid farewell with kiss goodnight

Seattle
I moved to Seattle for the rain and the clouds / The water drenching my window / And the dark nights filled with wind so loud

Good Will
Good will is one of those feelings that brings light. / As this year begins, may we take the good will that comes / and try to hold on to it a little longer.

I imagine ghosts exist
I imagine ghosts exist, if only to float and dance through the mist. / Not remembering who or what they are. / They don't speak, they don't weep

REALITY OF LIFE
In life, you need to give people their distances, / Because not everyone appreciates your time. / You might talk and relate with everyone but only few appreciates your company.

Winter from my window
The tree’s reaching tangled arms stretching for a taste of the winter sun’s null gleaming. Recognizably maple even for lack of its feathery green foliage, it’s fallen leaves spread across the ground, collecting in corners and hollows waiting to be absorbed into the earth from whence their mother came. / The sky a dull pale memory of the summer’s azure hues, not a wisp of cloud to be seen. The sun hangs low to the south continuing its eternal dance with heavens and planet. / The husks of the gardens and weeds now one and the same in their dreary brown likeness. Both awaiting their peaceful irrelevance, as they crumble into the cold earth. To await the coming seasons when their fallen seed shall rise from their long forgotten corpse.

That's all I can say about it
midnight talks, tacit alignment, borrowed vocabulary / It's such a privilege to have common ground / Some things are never meant to last

Fifty dollars.
I do not have fifty dollars. / I send it anyway, / like lighting a candle with my last match

restless embers
the glorious stillness / was madness shaking in quietude. / the heartaches,

Love, After.
I’ve never been one for love. / Sure, I’ve been in love, / But I've had more pain than joy.

Where do broken souls go?
You might see them in the sea, / Head's above the water, staring / at the lofty sky while being mauled
