The more I talk to anyone else
The more certain I am
I really want to keep talking to you

Taking the last breath,
One hand in a pocket,
Ego written on the face,
I can't  breathe unheard.

I try to defend her love
For me against a predator
All she repay was labeling me
With words that pierce into me
As did sun onto a water

No matter how much of a burden you have for a while
Just let your emotions die and put on a temporary smile

If you truly loved you never die,
Because you give a part of you that goes out to be part of the universe and lives forever, traversing mortality.

Did there a shadow move
a stealthy feet
upon darkening bush?

The deer's woof
races heartbeat
before silence
closes like noose.

Will the pool
that beams the moon
draw a trunk
to the lure of cool?

And upon the wind
without a word
was it a streak
of a passing leopard?

The peacock cries
you're close to the ground
presence is aloud
in the slightest sound.

The jungle glows
in silver light
there are eyes
that spot you right.
