A thousand miles and more - away,
your presence is felt here.
Pictures of you on walls - display,
in this home that you used to stir.

The virtual conversations in cyberspace,
not a mouse click away.
Fills this longing for your avid grace,
sweet laughter brought to stay.

Your million different tasks await,
secluded offices under the desert sun.
Cool precision of your meticulous state,
never fails your industrious reasons.

Missing you here - so far,
with absent tangible kisses and embrace.
My dear sister of the Eastern star,
I send you health and brilliant diamonds - glaze!

watching when little
on the big screen
larger than life
macho men
pretty women
a spark then a light
smoke from the lips
one likes to be
just like the heroes
want to be like him

cowboys on the range
ruggedly handsome
the wild west vision
horses and cattle
night time glow
almost perfect
want to be like him

puff on the pipe
by jove I've got it
the game is a foot
come watson
want to be like him

school years beckon
all grown up
james dean look
one hangs from the lip
be like your friends
want to be like him

Bogart black and white
hat and raincoat
in the shadows
roll your own
tug on the ear
oh so rugged
want to be like him

people are dying
holes in throat
lungs are blackened
can't breathe anymore
gasping for air
all a lie
image was built
cartoon and macho
trick them all
hook the children
replace the dying
tough to look cool
when you lay so still
not to be like him

Our days together have fled so quickly,
Swifter than the eagle's flight.
Yet all have been so filled with meaning,
They enchant my soul like roses in blooming.

How shall I explain what you are to me?
T'would be like trying to paint the sunrise.
Changing hues of light shifting across water,
Dew sparkling like diamonds on leaves that stir.

I have believed in you for your worth as a person
From the moment that I met you.
And have understood your fight to be uniquely you,
No matter what the cost that would surely ensue.

All I want is to help, you won't let me inside,
For the walls you have built, you have set there in pride.

You possess sweet simplicity, that of a child,
Yet wear peace like a King's velvet robe.
You ventured through lands where others dared not
Unknowing, but determined to win your own slot.

I have loved every moment of being with you,
Yet my heart aches in misunderstanding.
For I yearn to be with you, walk by your side
To ease any pain that afflicted your life.

All I want is to help, you won't let me inside,
For the walls you have built, have a span far too wide.

And now I am standing here watching you go,
Crying inside for I love you so.
Still always I will pray for your soul and your mind,
And that joy and contentment one day you will find.

are we simply flesh and blood?
Epithelium, fascia, muscle? A meshwork
of road maps and railway stations
for discoid corpuscles?

but to what import is probably not
a matter of importance.

outside, the cat purrs
starving.
her preference for milk-fish a far-fetched
notion amidst recession.

nearby
fire ants contrive with termites
of what better way to soften the foundation.

amidst uncertain darkness
we are still worth dying for
and the yellow lady sleeps
for yellow ribbons to live on

at the approach of dawn
A cauldron lid falls,
the agitated cymbals of a call
for whoever it tolls.

Human beings are just like a book,
It’s easy to judge them by just a look,
No need to read them from page to page,
They may not be even of your age.

Friendship is never kept in a cage,
Allow it to fly just in its own rage,
See the friendship as it soars in sky,
It’s friendship for which your heart would like to die.

When you had come you had come all alone,
Your parents and siblings had come along,
But friendship is only what you have yourself made,
Never allow a good friendship to fade.
