In the Couch
Sweet is this juice
In a glass at hand
Nerves ease, my heart
Your breath is near,
In yours eyes
I see for grace
Wind blows curtain
Rain splatters to earth
In this couch your hand
Makes my pillow.

Launched I fly
Pulled back, the string is tensioned
And whoosh, I fly launched
With my razor tip, Clouds I pierce
Waving, are flowers trees
Birds, animals, fishes, they giggle
Stars, beckon, universe, here I come.

Letter to God
My Almighty,
Sanctity is yours
Seeking is me
Wisdom is yours
Seeking is me,
That my adversaries,
Would honour me
And friends would,
Harm me not
The universe is infinite
Yours
I to live and fly.

One stone
Muscles, tighten
Up and to the pond
I release, one stone
Ripples, form
Like raised voices,
I hear, squabbles,
Wounds open,
Swords drawn
All these, I see,
Cause, my one stone
I know water is deep!

Love Petals.
Love, this love
so warm, so soft
in wool nest I slumber.
This love,
game is solid
so thick and strong
I’m in a fort
bolted and secure.
This love,
as wild flowers’
scent in my nose
are petals for me.

My Girl
How sweet
How tender
How delicate
With
A brain so bright
I receive with delight
The words so bright
for
My sweet girl
Distance no wall
Belief makes a will
I'll
Wait my girl
I'll wait my girl
I have a will.

Donkey Tears
Legs follow, each, in dust
Flies, they fly,
Wounds they lick,
Heavy, pregnant sacks,
A whip cracks
A journey from, morn to dusk
The palate is dry,
Wound festers, a tear drops,
Thought I saw Donkey tears!

Song In My Ears
My heart is filled
tons of laughter,
tons of merriment
your eyes sparkle as pearl in milk.
You talk, music in my soul
darling sweet keys on board
my ears gobble your voice
lullabies I drift to slumber-land

Butterflies, Butterflies
Butterflies they dance
Merrily fly in fields
Dotting fields,
Pink yellow and red are flowers
Flowery butterflies
In beautiful clothes
We play, holding hands around them in fours
And sing, the season's blessings.

Beat Of Love
Drums, trumpets, jingles and
Flowers, colours and
A union born.
Take my hand
Straight like a torch illuminating a stream
Appetizing as beef stew in steam
Take my hand
I’m up in universe and
Your pulse, my beat.
