Souls

No little souls
Consort a man’s walk
In great or small

Design

Who shaped the rose
Like a bunch of dreams
Spiraling up

Music

Hear life’s strings
Measuring the known
In unknown notes

Inclination

To have a shoulder
To repose one’s thoughts upon
When nothing remained

Taming

Resting my head
Upon your perfume
Thoughts relinquish

Obscurity

Light gets in the way
When steps wander in darkness
Following moonlight

Delirium

Slowly bereft of
Last signs of lucidity
In fever’s embrace

Tealess

Burning like hell
Still not hot enough
To warm the tea

Anchoring

Holding to branches
Anything that comes my way
To lighten my fire

Grasps

How knows the mind
When to grasp its source
How knows the sea

Encounter

From an eye’s corner
I caught a red butterfly
More than it caught me

Waves

What is the wave
That can’t stop waving
Away from shores

Fishing

Fishing with
No fish in the pond
Catching the wind

Snow

Two snowflakes
Joining the crowd
Together

Befall

Storms happen
For heaven’s reason
Two umbrellas

Whispers

I am here
When you'll want me
Wind whispers

Grazing

Hungry bunnies
Get a taste of cold
Grassless smoke

Coup de foudre

Struck by her smile
As the door opened
Just next in line

Reply

Sudden wake up
In warm embrace
Second pillow

Dreams

Uploading dreams
Into the clouds
One klick away

Meanders

On the church lane
Between stones truth walks
In psalmic dance

Expendables

Fine frost blossoms
Coming from nowhere
Going nowhere

Blows

When teaching mind
Forgets the teaching
Where do winds blow

Glimpse

What holds one’s faith
On last dying wish
But one’s whole life

Frozen

Freezing inside
From outside coldness
Thought icicles

Music

Life’s all music
From the beats of heart
To mind’s silence

Light

A candle lights
When life lightens back
Why wouldn't I

Roses

Roses that seem
As roses that are
Beyond roses

Asleep

I woke up
From endless dreams
Still dreaming

Love

One loves twice
Love one can't have
Love that isn't

Paradox

So many souls
Despair in darkness
Caring all light

Canvas

Glimpsing from its box
Draws trembling marks on the walls
Red-yellow tinsel

Seasoning

Balls touching the floor
With branches sweeping the ground
Long gone Christmas’ weight

Walls

One builds a wall
To keep sins away
From each other

Distance

From same roots
But miles afar
Father’s son

Swansong

A swan’s song
Without lyrics
Whispered sung

Fireworks

In stars is night
Measured by senses
Mindful fireflies

Balance

In geometry
I experience freedom
In number limits

Molding

Falling snow
Takes on all forms
Of silence

Stillness

Pull the stillness
Of a falling night
Make it all yours

Attraction

There was my love
Lying on the bed
A blue pillow

Dreamcatcher

Of broken dreams
The town's a catcher
Not giving mine

Magic

Too drunk to sing
Then magic happens
One more beer

Inertia

Inertia
Is playing old tricks
On drunken trams

Echos

Tap water drops
Echo in the room
Repair me

Noise

Snowflakes sound
Into the white
Winter’s noise

Snowflakes

Snowflakes fall
Over snow angels
Undecided

Fall

As stars fall
We fall with them
Not our time

Flight

Red-crowned cranes
Fly over pond
Sunset clouds

Affair

In love with you
But not knowing you
Unchanted life

Weight

The unseen lurks
Upon your shoulders
Weightful in time

Flutter

Despite all flutter
Butterflies can't see their wings
Do you feel your wings

Dive

A duckling dives
Into deep waters
Full of its art

Expansion

The days enwiden
With each afresh wound
Oh eternity

Brushes

Wintry wind sweeps
The porch back and forth
As it wishes

The Sweeper

A brown squirrel
Fighting with the snow
The cable guy

Thrust

A butterfly thrusts
Its wings into the dense air
The skies break open

Wishes

Fear not the devil
But the angel from within
Wishing fully sin

Jump

One waits becoming
A marvelous butterfly
In leaps of green frog

Promenade

Two silhouettes
In the falling snow
Bowing bamboos

Moon-Catching

She wanted the moon
So I caught it in my palms
Cold-freezing splashing

Mirroring

With time the pond
Reflects the blue sky
In its depth

Worth

What’s good water
If can’t fill a cup
Hungered of love

Wintry

A winter rose
Trapped in my window
Cold-biting thorns

Flight

Butterfly’s wings
Aren’t less majestic
In one’s absence

Concealment

In illusions
Hope obscures truths
Light within fog

Shards

One breaks his heart
Till becomes windows
Within the wall

Dreaming

You were my muse
That made me dreaming
I can’t wake up

Broken

The city breaks you
With its all indifference
Building by building

Let Me...

Let me be the sun
That mirrors your light
Come and shine with me

Let me be the air
That pumps through your lungs
Come and run with me

Let me be the wind
That teases your hair
Come and fly with me

Let me be the sea
That adores your feet
Come and swim with me

Let me be rivers
That flow through your heart
Come and feel with me

Let me be the words
That caress your mind
Come and talk to me

Let me be myself
Who whispers your name
Come and be with me

Tides

In morning’s thoughts
I return to you
Runaway sea

Coldness

Cold wind blows
Through your silence
Icicles

How Long?...

How long my candle life has burn,
Without cradle, with deep concern,
Its warmth aflame till late in night,
No star has matched by miles its sight.

How long I gazed beyond the stars
To find some meaning from afars,
Some simple mind to mirror mine,
To look into its eyes and shine?

How long I listened for the wind
To find my thoughts from flurries twined,
Embraced in storms without reason,
From spring to times without season?…

How long I bathed into the sea
And felt the waves fall above me;
I drowned a thousand time till now,
And I survived – I wonder how?…

How long I jumped from stone to stone
In mountains’ crest to build a home,
To feel much closer to the skies,
To find more truths and fewer lies?

How long my soul will feel astray
I hear its sigh from day to day,
Its echoes stir from dawns till dusk,
When I’ll be home, how long I ask?

Brilliance

Life’s perfection lies
In our work to make life right
Small diamonds glimmer

Somniloquence

Believing in worth
Of a simple cold morning
Ice-melting feelings

Seeds

Keep your heart open
For the seeds carried by winds
One will find its way

Fishing

Too hungry tomcat
Chasing fishes over pond
Too thick of an ice

Reconstruction

I broke the world
In thousand pieces
Putting all back

Bubbles

Full of wisdom
One escapes the truths
Soapy bubbles

Pointless

How can a seed
Find a rosy land
But not the man

Steps

Following the steps
Long imprinted in snowdrifts
Ice-tumble all-in

Vastness

Sea of emptiness
Spilling over shores
Prolonged solitude

Chase

New Year's Eve
Chasing butterflies
In mid winter

Frozen

First Christmas trees
Thrown into the snow
Frozen hopes

Morphism

Night’s snowflakes
Transformed the city
Snow and chaos

Bluster

Last year’s fireworks
In all ballyhoo
This year’s garbage

Echos

Is not the silence
You left behind your footsteps
Your laughing echos

Solitude

They look outside
On opposed windows
Cold-empty bus

Misfire

One misses sunsets
As well splendid sunrises
From indifference
