Lavender


Lighting streaks
The sky of your hair
Crushed autumn leaves
The ocean sighing in your ear
"Sweet nothing, nothing."
She kisses you on the cheek
Tosses up a coin
Too bad it's tails

Tulips


Footstep after footstep
Pavements - pulled from underneath
Chin bleeding, sun leading
Towards paradise
Edge of coexistence
Where the moon and water part their hands
Tossing tulips into the reflection
Crimson - the blood of love

Seasons


I'm like spring
Blooming
Springing from the ground
And full of life

I'm like summer
Thunderstorms and rain
My freedom
A lullaby above the undergrowth

I'm like autumn
So beautiful, vain
And falling apart
Leaf by leaf

I'm like winter
Frost on windshields
My footprints disappearing
In the snow

Fireflies


Years
Casual observer
Minutes
Blazing lover
Seconds
A tango of tongues
Lovers
Friends
Blurred vision

Street Lights


Where are the lights
On this street?
I'm bundled against the cold
But it doesn't help me see
The sidewalk

Wildfire


See that face?
The one that stares back?
Look deeply
Into the forests, oceans, plains - see the cracks
In your perfect jewels
The meadows burn up
Brimstone scorches the skies
As the wildfire takes over
Consuming all
