Foggy morning dew
washes away the nightmares
and shrouds the dreams
in between,
a new day for laughter
in a defensible way.

Foggy morning dew
washes away the nightmares
and shrouds the dreams
in between,
a new day for laughter
in a defensible way.
The devils have no self-respect
but still manage to wretch
at the sight of you.
The poor and ravenous beggars
will never feast
on fine food or dignity,
nor will the wolves they skin
bite the paw that feeds them
or resort to clothes
of friends
I doubt it.
That this is what you wanted.
This? This?!
But you insist
and I can’t resist
the nagging feeling
that something is wrong.
I’m about to ruin this,
aren’t I?
No doubt.
But this is never what I wanted.
Skipping stones to watch
the sun glitter disperse
across the water,
an attempt subconsciously made
but impossibly executed
to make more coins
from a block of gold.
My pockets are empty
and the sun still sets
but I find something resembling a feeling
that I’m the richest man alive.
You wear your art there on your sleeve
exactly where it needs to be
a sight, beheld, of beauty fair
but of a love I wouldn’t dare
Didn’t want a heart of flesh
but You sure did for me.
So, this is grace?
The old stone crumbles,
the new heart beats.
No, don’t think of them as tears
even though they emerged
from a depth I could never understand,
a depth of loneliness and despair.
Think instead of clear waters
to wash away the rose-colored tint
and the grimy pessimistic perception
that blinds. Can you see?
Can you see more clearly?
But why can’t I see you?
Dandelion dreams of chamomile things
disrupt the rest of sleeping kings
enthralled by chai, their lofty high
steeped and strong enough to cry
Slow was the turtle that danced in the grass
and tired the rabbit that longed for a rest.
Their race to nowhere, fast shattered like glass,
but happy were they en route of their quest.
You can take a side
or drown in the middle,
which sounded right
but only for some cases,
not quite the norm
you thought.
Friend, your jousting
from rafts
with an island
in the middle.
