strangers sit quietly*
drizzling jazz music
*rain at their feet
Eriko Jan 2016
why listen to those*
who do not know
*how you actually could

A cotton hood block the wind
the salt gritty so that everything hurts
i feel them scratching,
whipping against my hood
and I hear the ocean screaming
in pain and in tears
I cry out, why crash
like the way you do?
And the ocean replies
I'm in love with the moon
yet in every waking of the night
I can never reach her
so I drown in her light

That inexplicable hum
At the ceasless sight
My bones creaking
That all we be
Quite alright,
they dare to live in divine
apart from vernacular stare
they sit apart from the crowd
Comfortable in believing
the impossible which is not
always there,
they feel it in their bones
these vessels of their souls
I want to be like everything like them
Even if my bones creak
louder than they should
yet that is quite good,

My bones didn't even move

A gander into a field
Stained denim jeans
The flagrance of flowers

Rye
The lonely man sits upon a hill
Under the glint of a sky and the sway
Of golden, rustling sky
His hair gleams of streaking grey
Yet the blood still runs young in his humming veins
Stares out, into the roaming oblivion
His mind dwells on that of his past demons
He clasped his hands, his jaw set quiet and grim
The wind howls in his ears and scars from within
He sits quite still like the stupor of gin
His throat collapses and his back stiffens
A sudden spreading warmth touches his shoulder
And he look to the side and sees five delicate fingers
Clutching gently, the hand scarlet from the sun's linger
Twilight soon takes the couple by a starry fold
Of two companions with a story begging to be told

Joyce
Day is over.
Night has come.
Today has gone.
What's done is done.
Embrace your dreams
all through the night.
Free your mind.
Let go of "what might".
Tomorrow will come
with a whole new light.
So I close my eyes
and wish you good night.
