The Sick Red Carnation

========================
When I was child, you told me
Nothing is impossible for a willing heart
But, No one is bound to do the impossible

The tree often hides the forest.but,
Every cloud sparks a silver lining
Times change
Other times, other customs
So always appreciate Now
No sooner said than done

Well named is more worth than a golden belt
Good blood doesn't know how to lie

Today, I am thousand miles away from you
But I remember your words of fragrance
In every country there is a league of bad road
So, Between the tree and the bark one shouldn't put a finger

Leave nothing to chance
It's better to be a hammer than a nail
So I am playing all my cards to be more Lucky

Dead on Arrival

I.
When I was born,
I was dead
In her womb I was bloodless.
It was Saturday,
and the moon is full.

II.
Summer nights
became a desert
the child in me
was a gatekeeper.
All that was left,
'til now I was dead.

III.
I grew apart
and my heart has swollen
'tis now I found I was fallen
oh, my heart bleeds for me
when will I not be forsaken?

IV.
Hymn.
It was tingling
the music of a bell
is my time here short?
The child in me grew apart.
All that was left,
gone by a swift of a wind.

V.
Tomorrow might be
the last breath I breathe
'til now I was dead
in the hearse I am alive.

By the striking of the moon, gone of me was the child in her womb.

Writing this makes my heart calm for a bit. Writing is such a healing place for all writers. I hope you write one today.

The Moon

~
Romantics find her flawless
and the mystics find her wise.
The ancients found "The Huntress"
in her sharp and searching eyes.
Italians say "bela luna"
when they look at her and sigh.
The cavemen painted pictures
as they wondered at the sky.
The moon has many faces
and her light's a work of art...
And to the simple poet...
she is tonic for the heart.

Wealth

I held the moon

And knew immortality

I traded all my unforsaken days

To move within the eternal orbit of her night

To eclipse death

Yet here then the gap narrowed

Unchanged

The moon knew its shade
And never once it changed
Forms it changed,
As forever it should
Promises made
Forever
Unchanged

Luminous thoughts

The moon beams
Because everyone
Stares at it

The sun obliges us with shine
Because we loved it
So much yesterday

The stars sparkle because
They like the way
They look in your eyes
