My Picture: An early morning drawing.
Shudder in the dark
a drunken moon serenades me slow.
Craving more than in the last life,
like water dripping through dreams of love.
Sorrows of the breath
China
Silent journey
hdrpl
My pictures
back again,
my bones thrown together
with all my strength.
fatigue sapped
and gathering clouds.
the morning silence,
a preening goose
that stretches away
cherry blossom rain.
The stranger
My picture: Another doodle….but a self-portrait of sorts.
Strange how fast night comes,
a solid sound as jaded faces melt.
Then the night shivers out
an early morning drift, like a sigh.
In the wink of an eye,
a world cowed by wind and rain.
A summer’s backward glance,
and broken shells in disarray.
Tokens of regret left all around,
but dreams forget to come.
And sleeping now, life is sweet
all tucked inside dawn’s blue light.
See me as I am
My Picture: I am going through a phase of adding my drawings to my poems…another example.
A friend asked me about pain,
I told him I know something.
“A new diagnosis, an enduring ailment
and then the real pain comes”
He seemed satisfied,
that my heart was dark enough.
Sunday morning, again
A picture of my drawing…sadness is all around…sometimes.
A young woman sweeping
in the morning shadow.
Silently, I leave the bed.
Half fear, half hope
….. another
brick wall Sunday.
Cancer Days
My pictures and my drawing….reflecting on another time…another place…so far away.
All day long,
marking medical papers.
Divisions of cells,
seasons of mutations
and angel crowns.
Meditated by a yellow bird,
gently touching a sick wife.
The sickness is me,
I hope you’re not lonely.
When life has left
My picture of my drawing.
Her hair tells a story,
a geisha dance to the world.
Enough winters gathered
and lips turned icebergs.
Her blue sleek steps,
once a soul to our time.
Now withered memories
of pain thrown, and pale loss.
The sound of noise
My Picture: A simple doodle in my journal……
All morning I’ve been thinking.
I wonder about the trees, the flowers and
the noise outside my window.
Sometimes I watch the trees sway,
always humble and kind.
Do the flowers have mountains to climb?
It can’t be easy having the white clouds watching over them.
And the noise, always the noise
it never gets away, until we lose the measure of life.
Happy Workers Day
My picture of my drawing: 1st May is International Workers Day…so I thought about this..everyday is ‘International Workers-Day’ …for many people, especially children…nothing really to celebrate.
12 years old,
my mother tells me it is International workers day.
I know…I work 17 hours every day.
If only….
If only I could see my daddy…I miss my daddy…..he works so far away.
If only there was a playground for me and my friends to play in.
If only there was fresh water for me and mummy to drink
If only I could draw pictures, I like drawing pictures.
If only the man did not come at night time…
If only……
Happy workers day to all the people in the world.
I will finish this box soon……..then the next one.
Sleepless Nights
My picture: A simple drawing I did…part of a late dream one night…..
