Warmth

Thanks for seeing me as who I was.

Opening up was a bold move for you.

I marveled at your generous trust.

Buried in the memories, it still remains warm.

I know now I want to have lived having loved more.

To dance more, laugh more, and think more have been on my horizon.

To know I have lived a little then

croons my heart like the tomato red sun.

Marvel

RalphLeave a comment

After the morning ritual,

and a good run of chores,

I stepped out to outside

to marvel at the nature.

I grabbed the tentacle like icicles,

scooped up a slice of cut wood,

and looked at the horizon over the top of the hill.

All was silent, and satisfactory.

I took one step at a time

careful of the slippery ice

and arrived safely to the warm room of my home.

Imagine

Imagine love.

What does it feel like to you?

Perhaps, like a passionate poem,

a resilient and solemn dedication,

or an enigmatic and mystic riddle?

May you hold on to one that suits you.

May you remember what it meant in the past

And may you continue to grow with those

Who share with you the feeling.

Warmth

Into the dark room, the white sun light softly landed.

Alighting the room quietly, I stared

as contents of the room surfaced their shapes nakedly.

I cut the carrots with a knife on a cutting board,

stirred cold green tea in a mug cup,

and chewed on bits of tuna from a can.

And I knew, for the first time, what it means to be alone.

I understood what she meant

when she advised me to go to the mountains.

Shutdown

The electricity shut down.

As I sat in a dark still room,

I savored the eloquent tune of silence.

Snow fell outside unflinchingly

and no one moved.

I stared as the dim light shone through window

the wooden floor, the dining table, and the chair stayed barren.

Without distraction, illusions, or deliberation,

I saw what is.

And that satisfied my senses.
