What’s Going On?..

I can’t seem to think

all it takes is one glance, stunned

Breath taking beauty

Endless possibilities

I wonder what’s going on?.....

fresh mint

I met you at last,

thought our paths would never cross.

And already the

absolutism of my

devotion could shatter all....

Mirror

going through my mind

desperately trying to

mirror you back to

yourself, that you will like

me too, the way you like you

...

Tied Together

Connections await

Who will be our next best friend

People come and go

Unlikely people will bloom

Find the ones that make you shine...

known earlier

dear m,


i had liked you, matt.

if i had known earlier,

that you’d disappear,

i could’ve spent more time liking,

and less ignoring.


your best friend,

chiyo....

New Love.

The day has risen;

I’ll feel what I have yearned for,

And will start anew,

With her gentle fingertips,

And her enchanted kisses....

I Met Someone

I met someone new

His eyes, blue, caught mine by chance

Love, it came to pass

When we recognized that glance

Facing, in the looking glass...

“Echo”

A single word beneath the sky,

I said it once, it learned to fly.

It touched the hills, returned to me—

Not quite the same, but still set free....

My Pretty Green

A colorless life

Your pretty green eyes on me

I fell into you

You fell too, my pretty green

Forever and for always...

I Hate Planes

I keep having this thought

That I was worth nothing to you

You don’t have a clue

Was it easy when you left

I’d think we’d both agree...
