"I love you"
was the last message I left
"I love you too"
was the last message he left
But what we truly left
An empty parting shot

Grass grows greener
Air smells cleaner
          After the rain sanitizes the earth;

Heart beats higher
Smile grows wider
          After the tears sanitize the soul.

Do not let me say
goodbye. I will pick threads of
tears from slanted eyes.

Not for your sake-
I did make the blue temple.
It chairs my goddess.

Sitting under grape
vine I drink from your orbs.
Don't drop the heavy lids.

you love me
like my
mother
but
you treat me
like my
father
