Silent
The warm breeze guides me
Through my silent walk back home.
I keep my eyes closed.
Alternate Reality
A good movie can
Transport you for days on end.
The plot has thickened.
Laziness
A beautiful day
I didn’t experience…
Laziness triumphed.
Awaken!
A simple moment
Of quiet contemplation
Reawakens me.
Open Your Eyes
It is frustrating
To see people rush without
A care or a glimpse.
Perfection (#1)
Emotions run wild
As I’m flying through the air
Perfecting my leap
Dancing Forms
Strong but elegant
Forms soar and fill the space with
Mystery and life.
A Lively Day at Work
The steady whirring
Of old machines fills the space.
I just want to sleep.
Eye Appointment
Reading tiny text
My eyes feel vulnerable.
The checkup scares me.
Human Canvas
I cover my face
I know that I’m becoming
A human canvas
Regretfully Awake
I sink in slowly
into the night’s tempting grip.
…I am still awake
Claustrophobia?
Overlapping sounds
Fill the station at rush hour
I feel so confined.
Meaningless Frustration
The train crawls into the station
Slowly, spitefully
Our frustration means nothing.
Argue!
You force a laugh
and agree with me?!
Passiveness kills.
Pointless
Patience and Scotch tape
Can’t mend a malfunctioning
Piece of…equipment.
Scandals
Do you remember
The scandals you blamed me for?
There are more to come.
Perfection (#2)
Shield your eyes and
throw aside the glossy pages.
I see no perfection.
Packaging
Pretty packaging
And false promises.
I won’t be manipulated.
Search
Roaming around
Desperate for inspiration.
Reluctant to let go.
Transient
Fluid, layered, fleeting…
An attempt at a
Transient masterpiece.
Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream”: “discovered” by me
“You think I’m pretty
without any makeup on.
You think I’m funny…”
(notice the traditional 5-7-5 format)
Snow?!
A dreadful surprise
Lurking behind the walls.
Snow is approaching?!
A Morbid Symphony
Branches breaking
Adding to the beat of the blizzard.
A morbid symphony
Yesterday
Clear skies, open windows
bouncing light, animated faces.
No remnants of yesterday
Too Old?
Craned head and bent knees
Wobbling with embarrassment
“Trick or treat.”
Sidewalk
Trashed and deserted,
stained with
Crushed egg remains.
