041810b Happy To Be Home
she's all smiles claiming nature's love
that let her wander aimlessly to the wild
she never expected she ever get astray
surviving the night and throughout the day
sloshing sound she doesn't know where
it is coming from give her scare whole night
she is so happy to see her friend quenny
she gave her a toy frog name gretchen
and silly rubber band the form of a lobster
her sister she claimed 'all she does is cry'
i am very sure you won't be wondering why
the next time she said she would be with adult

042910a Journey In My Mind
stealthily crawling with bow
so close to ground like glue
arm, ready to strike at the foe
from a lonesome rock, full view
from a tepee smoke rising
sweet smell permeating
cross fingers you're waiting
for the morning; i'm coming
in your mind i'm always there
hunting buffalo as well as deer
the lovely trees along the river
wonderful time; growing up together
in the wilderness; there's no checks
wealth is measured by hunted meats
i always come back, never forget
your charms and smiles make me sweat

041110f Green Belongs To Lefty
even leaf could not deny lefty
back nine relentless charge
collared prestigious green jacket
for the third time in his carrer
resurrection of american golf
that's what sports needed most
tigers ups and downs not enough
to stitch torn fabric of confidence
kims unbelievable seven under
makes anybody to say 'if-ever'
lee hangs on fringes of green
there's always something to gain

041611G mom doesn't like way i write
i brought home my papers
with scrambled writing and
folded to look like unknown
bird or boat that really float
i could write my name not
my family name too long
i can't decide which hand
i will use for writing it seems
i can use them both at ease
so i have two gigantic pencil

so i hide my left hand under

my mother as a reminder to mom's
that we kids does keep in mind
lots of things concerning our mom's
and of course we remember at

041610d Almost Time To Leave
my luggage is pack, my mind is set
on this little journey while you're playing
i would miss my golf days with friends
would be okay, i play when i get home
few days won't make that much difference
i can still hit the dimpled ball off the fence
i will be with the healthy people of america
aspiring to make a good living from scratch
bound by rules which most of you would rebel
that's discipline, yes, we produced the best
maybe one of your neighbor, friends or relative
oh! one of them is this guy pressing the keys

041611H never give to mom again
i came home with a note
from my teacher i can't
read it, it's too long for me
i gave it to my mom; next
i know a pinch landed
so painful i instantly tear
in my mind it's bad to give
especially notes to your mom
i never did ever since, i keep
she probably doesn't know
was so busy with her business
that i thought reason i'm in school

Ultimate Wish
touch by the romantic desire
my fingertips are on fire
allow me to write a few
love, very little I know
so show me what it is
with your warm embrace
whisper to me please
music to my ears.
would you mind a walk under the moonlight
when weather is good and time is right,
down the Waikiki beach, by banyan tree
barefoot by ebbs and flow of the sea
you could hear the drum beat from the Outrigger,
dimly lit, we could sit by the beach
soaking our feet to rest
we can talk, all night long
as we listen to the lovely songs

042810c Dripdrops Splash
i open my car windows for about an inch
to refresh my lungs recycling polyster air
i feel a new life injected through my brain
although it's chilly it's a well wanted relief
my mind starting to work its magic again
i look into my glove compartment for pen
i always wanted to position my car looking
at the cascading side of the mountain where
sun rays hit rocks, leaves and dripping water
there's a flash whenever it hits the ground
it could be my eyes failure to recognize or
it forms a sheets of reflector upon impact

016GM16H umbrella is not enough
beach umbrellas are beach mushrooms
they come in so many beautiful colors
at 90's it's nice to have above your head
anchor it very good so it won't fly away
i know you don't like chasing over bodies
you might stumble and get painful bruises
we bunch up under this canopy after a swim
then we chat endlessly and drink lots of fluids
i'm squinting, above the sand is heat waves
i can roll dried salt from my skin; taste different
maybe it mixed with my sweat or lotion scent
i still have cold wrinkles; bluing lips; paling skin

032110e Pleases My Eyes
wiggling tail partly hidden
teasing my eyes, my mind
from brownish to fading gray
matching the bark of a tree
were not for my eyeglasses
i would surely, surely miss
they were two playing hides
digging keeps at tree sides
they're so quick to climb up
light, they won't peel off bark
they sit on a branch munching
their eyes is always watching
stray ball rolled to their haven
i guess they knew it, not a nut
they left went to another tree
what else do i have to find here
hawk hovering around hungry
that's bird, i'm trying get birdie
