Poems and Rhymes
A collection of my poetry of all shapes and sizes. Roughly in chronological order of writing. I plan to publish an anthology with some select ones in the future.
You are the Forest
You are the forest
I am the trees
You are the wind that blows through
I'm the leaves
…
Freshly Washed Sheets
Long day
The comfort of my bed
Enveloped in the sheets
Freshly washed
…
Love like a book
Oh, to love like in a book
To wrap my arms and soul around another
Fall into your eyes with just one look
And feel time slow,
And share each other.
When I can’t stop thinking
Knocking around in my head are these thoughts
Many, not many, then few, then a lot
I think about this
And I think about that
I think about things I had thought about, chats
Things to write down
And things to sing loudly
I want to share my thoughts
Do I stay humble, or go proudly?

Satellites
Satellites
Their blinking lights
Crossing far above at night
They cross and twirl
They fade and swirl
As they attempt
To join the ranks of stars
…
Little White Lies
Little white lies
Piling up like snow
A sprinkle here
A tidbit there
No harm
As light and easy as hello
…
The Sparrow that Travelled Through Time
Across the screen across the field
The sparrow flies and flies and flies
Across the sky across the sea
The Whispered Words of Sunset
The silhouettes of rustling trees
Dancing softly in the breeze
A bird that rushes past the sky
Slows down its wingbeats
Still, it flies
As the sky explodes in paint
And clouds unfurl
…
Life’s a Collection
Life’s a collection
Of flashes
Of sparks
Immersing yourself into music or arts—
Or picking some flowers just off of the road—
Or watching a faraway star just explode—
You can fill it with grandeur
Or fill it with pebbles
Or decorate it with all sorts of apparel.
…
Clouds in the Sky
The sky has expanded – exploded in tuft
Spreading and scattering glimmering dust
Purple and orange, pastel hues of pink,
The clouds dipped in paint
Brush over the sky
Filling their canvas
With Rainbow and White
The Internet
That’s what it is! That’s what it was!
When the internet could all fit in a box –
In a small little room
With a quaint wooden chair
You could go anywhere
Starting from there.

Friday, the 17th of June
The bass strums another chord that stretches
and echoes into the sunset
The golden sunlight washing over the city
pours down the street
…
Don’t Listen to the Willows Weep
I
Don’t listen to the willows weep.
A wailing sorrow, cutting, deep
And if you lend their cries an ear
Astray from hearth and home you’ll keep.
…
Reflections in the Asphalt at Night
Red light stretching into dark
asphalt mixed and made your mark
After pouring rain gone by
The long
reflected midnight lullaby
