I am more words
than body
I can't stop
writing poetry

Don't under-estimate
the power of negative thinking
in negating the non-essentials
it is superior to positive thinking

Your absence has gone through me
Like thread through a needle.
Everything I do is stitched with its color.

I have loved you
From the moment our eyes
Met across the crowded street
On that scorching summer day

And though summer
Soon came to a bitter end
I have loved you through
Every season ever since

And I guess I always will

Last night,
when I closed my eyes,
I saw the moon
so full and so bright.
I fell asleep smiling.

The power went off
The street was dark and quiet
One single star shines.
