Searching out the depths

Yet on the home front.
Some are nervous.
There is even a teardrop
fallen on my sleeve.
But I will not fall
unseen or otherwise.
I will walk and talk
and write poems.
Until you take me strongly
in your arms again.
Then, cursing the humidity.
I can see enlightenment everywhere.
And I will no longer
give myself to grief.

So she says

​Is this the way things go
We are all helpless
in this world?
The woman I met
with, says no.
She told me we
are of this world.
And as the days pile on.
And the long night comes.
It is enough to grant love.
To salvage the
moments from life ​

A moment in Jinshahu



​Groping the street life.
​It is beyond my expectations.
​I have recovered
what ​I have lost.
​And my youth has
​not been used up yet.
Spring is already here.
Fixing me in the moment.
The street is flowing.
The world hangs about.
And I am waiting for you.

A love of life

It is as though I have an eye.
For all the flowers in the streets.
For ordinary affairs that
disappear in the deep pool.
Whatever comes to the eye.
I leave it be.
And when it is complete
and altogether done.
I move on.
Where else do you
expect to find it?

Beauty in the mundane

In a world of grief and pain.
I took you down the alley.
Not a regular cup of coffee.
A moment of exceptional bliss.

We saw the seagulls
flying widely into the dark.
Out they came
burning all the time.

Flowers bloomed.
Chasing the taste of summer.
And we called to mind.
How this began, and how it will end.
