Song of a woman gone mad
KENNETH LEONG Oct 2018
Open the window
and let the world come in with its
carnival of sounds, scents and sights.
If love is craziness, let me be mad!
Let me come alive and feel the crispness of the air.
Let me dance under the sky so blue and clear!
Let me caress my eyes
with the soft ****** petals of spring flowers
and find rainbow in the morning dew.
Let me take delight in the sparkles of sunlight
or the quiet reflection of the moon in still pond.
Let us build a crackling fire in our little room,
tucked away in a far corner of the universe,
while you hold me in your arms and simmer me with desire.
Let me tremble in the breathtaking tightness of your embrace.
Let me cling on to you, like the ivy clinging onto that
red wall--for I am afraid, so afraid of losing life.
Let me soak ever word you say into the deep soil of my heart.
Let me awaken to who I am and where I want to be.
You are the one who listens to the silent music of my soul.
I give you the keys and coyly ask you
to unlocked the mystery of the woman in me.
You gently brush back the hair that covers my eyes,
and wipe away my sorrows and fears.
Listen, and hear how my heart throbs for your closeness,
how it yearns for your strength, warmth and tenderness.
I am a woman in love, and I find no fault.
You clear my confusion like the wind blows away the clouds.
Let me venture out of my self-made fortress and prison
to seek the good and the beautiful.
To be vulnerable is part of living--this is the eternal truth.
If loving you means becoming vulnerable,
let me be the mollusk which crawls naked out of its shell.
I want to, need to, hold you in love and passion,
kiss and savor every moment before it returns to the
river of impermanence. In this embrace of silence,
you are here for me and I for you.
Let me hear your whispers and feel the of your skin.
Let me walk with you, talk with you,
and be taken away in your strong arms.
Together we can LIVE.

Harvest Moon
KENNETH LEONG Oct 2018
Entering my driveway
tonight, I see the harvest
moon perching on my pine
tree top and winter enters
my heart like a song.

Rain
KENNETH LEONG Oct 2018
Steering my car
Like a boat in a
Grey, misty ocean,
I navigate alone
Through the dreamy highway,
Listening
to forlorn love songs
Through the white noise
Of falling rain
and busy wipers.
I think of you.

Sermon of Stillness
KENNETH LEONG Oct 2018
The silver moon,
contemplating the world of samsara
from the top of my pine tree,
is eloquent in its silence,
this cobalt blue night.
Oh, the sermon of stillness…..
Who is there to listen?

Sorceress
KENNETH LEONG Oct 2018
Last night,
You made all the flowers in my garden bloom,
Right in the midst of winter.
You sorceress!
