water lilies ~ shi rensa

boldly beckoning
 
beguiling sweet summer blush

water lilies sway

water lilies sway 

heady from a sip of sun

beaming charmingly

beaming charmingly 

sun sends shimmering love notes 

boldly beckoning

rain drips ~ nonet

rain dripping puddles of delusions

decidedly delight day dreams

divorcing real time dramas

and enter zany worlds

of sun kissed maybes

flitting carefree

singing loud

raining

hope

drops

fragrant

with longings

in deep darkness

that push forth to shine

lights glow up the present

with exits to the past closed

Let’s marry now with forever

so we can walk barefoot for free

soul food ~ a decima

What do you want to order in?

Oh! Soul food or nothing at all

Under what cuisine would that fall?

Just a sec…I’m introspecting

Is it Asian or Italian?

Hmm… It could be both or neither

Please dear soul…decide and order

I want to eat what my mom makes

I’ll have those awesome jammy cakes

or her quite random buddha bowl

they’ve left a footprint in my soul

That’s the food to which my soul wakes

Stay ~ a nonet

It seems as though you’re still summer

sunshining your way past the din

of Time, tattooing yourself

on my wild wanton skin

locking forever

all our whatifs

as though you

may still

stay

enchanted ~ a decima

How far does optimism go?

Let’s find out…join me for the ride

coz only when you’re by my side

I see rainbows in tomorrows

ribbons of music tied with a bow

gifts of the yet undiscovered

lyrics to heydays up ahead

So string along your old guitar

Darling, let’s sing along with our

imaginings, stay enchanted…

kirigirisu ~ haiku

chorus from the wings

katy-did-she-didn’t-she-did

green big bug singing

kirigirisu

serenading camouflaged

it just ain’t cricket

broadcast from bushes

nature’s night club naughtiness

now everyone knows

confused ~ a decima

I wandered in my mind today

that lost and found space within walls

where axioms touch truths for all

but realities never stay

and like friable breadcrumbs stray

in my Aquarian whimsy

and I can’t think critically

of a fathomable technique

that will tether my thoughts unique,

not split in two confusingly

entombed ~ tableau

You do it best when

after story ends,

hesitatingly

you ask the full moon

to take a picture

of us together
