I send my hopes
and universal powers above
hoping you feel
nothing but
the eternal forces of love.

That your tired soul
may rest,
for its eternal age
letting all past pain
of long gone days
fade away.

For every soul that met yours,
and looked eye to eye
opened their souls
and spilled their guts
when they found out you died.

And I,
distant as I seem
hope that somewhere,  somehow
you are following
your dreams.

May his young soul rest in peace
One of my childhood elementary friends (a boy who used to tease me over my curly hair actually) just died today of a drug overdose.
It just so happens, that I saw him by mere coincidence yesterday walking down the street. Mere hours later he would be dead.
Never to ever accidentally encounter that soul again
life is so very very fragile
To your song, I dance
Winds so soft and free
To your tune, I sing a song
Mezzo-soprano voice
To your sunshine, I awake
Upon a bed of pine needles
To your melody, I am free
To your voice, I will smile
To your words, I say
Thank you
Even though it seems trivial
And for all you do
I take out my cello
And gently place the bow
Against its trembling strings
'Tis all I can do in return
And softly like the falling rain
I whisper "This is for you"

young men drinking
                                   young men not thinking
                                                        ­                    
this is the scene
outside the pubs on a weekend night
they pick fights with anyone
it doesn't matter who
the dutch courage is well imbued

                                                               a king-hit
                                                                ­               a cowardly
                                                                ­                                  strike
an innocent bystander
lies in the gutter
with a split open head
the pavement
stained with smatterings
of blood

                                                young men drinking
                                                                ­                    young men not thinking

of the bystander's
damaged brain
Waves are the ocean
Black and untainted
Detailed without needles on.

I ****** the same waves
And its curls recoil
Playing safe with fine fingertips.

The clips got messed up
Some flora makes ends meet
Roses without thorns*
Oh, perfect fit!

(6/29/14 @xirlleelang)
nippy twas the morn
as a thick sheet of frost lay
upon the bush ground
