EMBRACE OF A POEM




To blossom like a sun, I
have done a thousand times
as I rise in front of you
to captivate you
which I secretly rehearsed
before the clear and cold
ocean water.

But dear, my face seems
a blank horizon.

Even when I am
talking to you
you shake your hair
while my broken voice caresses it
but you hear nothing.


If only I could turn rainbows
into bracelets for your arms
or could stack the stars into
a stairway for you to reach the sky
and as you cast your wild eyes
upon them in wonder
I will roll gently the thread of your sight
around my heart.

But these dreams just end up
to a flowing line of words
to frame a poem,
a poem that cuddles my sorrow
and understands my feelings
which you never do.

NOW THAT YOU LEAVE ME


At the corner of my eye, I  see
our trembling hands held together
for the first time.

But our desires prevailed
and like just freed angels, we
zoomed up to the sky.

We played in the garden of heaven
and as we got tired, you
gathered ripened stars
offered me a bite and I did the same.

Now , you're beginning to let go of my hand
and the depth of loneliness
is pulling me down.
remember you're the strength of my wings
but if you let me fall
I'll close my eyes sadly
and succumb to the darkness
of the cold space.

What caused this riddance
is it because you're in spring
and I'm in fall?
If we were in the same season
would you still abandon me
like now?
why  have you propagated a feeling
from this strong heart
transplanted it to grow in the  greenness
of your time?

I say this to you:

even the wind
the moon
the stars
and the dew agree with this reality
with all my heart
I fall and decompose
to join the comfort of the soil
fertilizing your budding youth.
