the moon is beaming in the dark
with tiny stars as little sparks
it shines with pride, in graceful hues
when night time falls and starts anew

but the moon is kind,
it does not boast
it shines so brightly
to guide, at most

and the moon loves greatly,
it loves the stars
because it lets them shine too
so they are seen from afar

he laughs without a care,
knee slaps and applauds in boyish fashion
he speaks only the truth
with an electric presence you'd keep your eye on
he lives life in technicolor
and you'll never get rid of him—
'cause the boy's got rhythm,
the boy's got soul
a beautiful one at that, enough to make me whole
Inspired by hello poetry user Careen's poem, Take Five.

Boy's got a lot of soul
Classic and breathtakingly old
Makes you tap your toe
Big band swing
With a jazzy glow
What's the difference between music and love anyway?

The sand mustn't worry
for the wave will always return

the morning is kind...
silence fills the empty streets
where drunken people like sailors
once roamed,
now they sleep soundly
with the early breeze cradling them

bakeries and flower shops open,
the mailmen and delivery girls
make their way through quiet neighbourhoods,
the early birds rise
with a vision of coffee and breakfast,
and the sunlight is gentle on the skin—
go outside or sit by the window to feel it.
it kisses you,
inviting you start the daw anew.

bright yellow suns
make up his soul.
a sense of wonder
that could never fade.

a small yellow flower
with petals so fragile,
but the seed remains.
he will grow again.

a sense of wonder
he does contain
that speaks to him.
question everything.

a sense of hope
he does contain
that speaks to him.
the sun will rise again.

a tropical soul
in winter for the first time—
happy with a heart so warm
i am spending my first winter at tokyo
