"Keep your eyes closed, love. sometimes all you have to listen is to what the sound of the waves tells you to do."

When I was much younger, beaches were my second favorite places. I still love watching waves as they go by, crashing against each other and the whole process repeating all over again.

How to become a poet:
Let someone rip your soul apart.
And in the need of mending ,
You will replace it with words.

You may not be
The moon or
A star or
The sun
Beaming vision to the world.

But to me
You are
The cute little
Firefly
Casting hope in me.

Nights don’t change…

Perhaps just the stories
they weave in infinites
from the fires of stars
and embers of hearts…

Or perhaps it’s the way
they were captured
and deciphered;
Reworded and retuned
to the song and dalliance
of the hand-wielded ink.

It strikes, not with a gale,
but with a drizzle of cherry blossoms
and a flurry of gentle chords.

Night rays

Night rays wants to touch deep.
It may not touch my heart,
but it burns on the skin just above the heart.  It’s only a matter of time now.

Sends a tingle down my spine
inches below the last bone.
Oh firefly. Don’t fly away.
Kiss the fire you stoked away.
