c + H2O = we

light dances on river,
a moving marvel
sun and water make rainbow,
a beautiful illusion
like our love:
moving from a distance
yet we never touch
deeper than the surface

Simple Wish Of A Complex Person

There are too many faceless screams
and many more nameless diseases
in this grey concrete world.

I get more headaches than I can count
and too many bad news reports to doubt

and the wind smells of lawns freshly mowed.
I want to drink water without thinking of death
and cross borders without worrying about guns.
Remind me of laughter and childhood,
kiss me and make me laugh.

You move like the wind
on your two cubed legs.
You make silken thread

to infect it with.
But you only kill
