Sword

A sword
held high
for freedom
glints in the sun
under a blue sky.

Beginnings

A birth
But no room
A singular star
Heavens above
A cross
Of baring
A finer love

Kisses

Through the years
Your lips
Have been wasted
Without being tasted
By kisses
From someone

Love Hurts

Love hurts only those
who truly fall.
It doesn’t hurt the ones
who only play it as a game.

A Person

Better to listen to a person
with a few wise words
than to a person
with no wise words at all.

A Farewell

Today is our farewell;
we depart as friends
hoping that one day in the future
we will meet up again.

Freedom In Limbo

A salvo,
a blooded flag,
trampling feet,
twisted bodies
in shallow graves,
freedom in limbo.

Night Hunter

On silent wings
from trees, swoop
oblivious to the darkness
night hunters descend
on their prey.

Emotions Of The Heart

There are times when the heart sings,
and times when it cries.
It sings when love comes to call
and cries when love dies.

Early Works - People

Worries, frown
forehead creases
eyes
saddened gazes
face
lines of age
troubled times
lonely phases.
