River fishes swim,

Struggle against the currents

Or escaping from us?

Walking along the path
Passing streetlight sentinels
They stood at attention
Soon they will be relieved
When dawn arrives
Taking a well deserved rest
With the dull cat
Sleeping during the day
Walking along the path
I'm reaching home.

Flower
Missing
A few petals
Ripped off
By rough wind

Whispering in your ears
If that brings me closer to you
So will my love
Embraces you
Tightly

She stands firm
Often she dances
To the wind
She yearns for
An audience


Her stories
Often ignored by
Passers-by en route
To their final destinations


Occasional visiting bees
She welcomes
Not stray hands
She knows
She'll be lay to rest
Helpless
In a vase

Stay still
While I observe
What makes me
Love you
If time could
Stay still
And truly observe
Love is
Timeless

The memories
Good or bad
Frame by frame
As light enters
Into his eyes
A broken camera
Resting on his heart
