Insane

She tossed back
Her tawny mane
Clear october sky in her eyes
Again
I'm going insane

Identity Of The Self

I suffer from the worldliness
I suffer in silence
A loss of identity
Adience

I think
You give me
A sense of identity
Love

Mere Peccadilloes

A youthful peccadillo
A petty misdeed
Plenty of that
Misfortune’s seed
The advice of the old men
Heed
Never, never be motivated by
Greed

Life Has No End

The picture of my friend
Scents her breath, heaven's air
Colors my life, heaven's sky
Blue eyes
It means life has no end

(For M.C.)

Golden Mean

Greed, pride, envy, dishonesty and lust
Contentment, modesty, honesty and trust
All are good in their own place
Golden mean is the life's base

The Sun
Blinded me

Before birth
After death
The blind
Unsighted, Sighted

My Eyelids
Will stay open
No longer

They worked hard
Day in and day out
After a loaf of bread rather

At long last
His mother sold her wedding band
A ceremony was performed

The bride and groom posed for pictures
He kissed her forehead
Their glances exchanged
Hand in hand
