We were flowers, twisted ‘round each other in red thread
speaking soft words under soft rains – hard park benches
pretending we didn’t love what was in the other’s head.
We were flowers, one flower, ‘round and ‘round in red
lipstick that stained and teethmarks from words left unsaid
We were pacing old trodden paths digging old sodden trenches
We were flowers, cut at the stem bleeding love bleeding red
Speaking cold words in floods, sitting on lonely park benches.

A year it’s been since I’ve known you,
Since I’ve seen you, a day.
I wish I’d only known the truth,
A year it’s been since I’ve known you.
And pretty wasted years I rue
Oh, cruel games that you play.
A year it’s been since I’ve known you,
Since I’ve seen you, a day.
A triolet of unrequited love

अखा बेबादिनो हाबाय था नोङो
बुहुम मिथिँगाया देलाइदोँ दुगैनानै
मुलुगनि मैलाखौ सुस्रां नोङो
अखा बेबादिनो हाबाय था नोङो
दाखोरखौ फोजावनो दैबाना लाबो नोङो
द्राम द्राम आरोबाव हानानै
अखा बेबादिनो हाबाय था नोङो
बुहुम मिथिँगाया देलाइदोँ दुगैनानै

सान्दुं नोँ आंखौ गोलोम होयो
आं नागिरो बिफांनि साया
हाबायाव गोदोना आं मेंग्लियो
सान्दुं नोँ आंखौ गोलोम होयो
गोमोथाव बुहुमाव साना मिनियो
जोँख्लाब जोँख्लिब बायदि मैया
सान्दुं नोँ आंखौ गोलोम होयो
आं नागिरो बिफांनि साया

I always joke around about how I am illegal.
People laugh, give me nervous looks, then ask for clarification.
“Wait are you serious?” they would ask as if not being american is lethal.

I always joke around about how I am illegal

I’m not, but once I say that people look at me lesser than equal.
They forget that more than one race is allowed in this nation.

I always joke around about how I am illegal.
People laugh, give me nervous looks, then ask for clarification.

If you were not so far away
I'd catch you in my hungry  arms
and you'd lie down and sigh and stay
if you were not so far away
I'd never want to leave or stray
entangled in your eyes and charms
If you were not so far away
I'd catch you in my hungry arms
Still learning. Be Kind.  :)

If I could kiss you on the lips,          
beneath the stars of deepest night    
I'd feel the dancing of your hips        
if I could kiss you on the lips          
possess your breath in small sweet sips  
until my heart with pleasure skips                                        
If I could kiss you on the lips          
beneath the stars of deepest night
Triolet? I have no idea how to punctuate it. First try. Be kind.

Go back to sleep, my dearest love,
There’s no need to know such worry;
I am watching from high above.
Go back to sleep, my dearest love.
Fret not my lovely lady dove:
Your eyes are getting so blurry.
Go back to sleep, my dearest love;
There’s no need to know such worry.
