Flowers of Misfortune
In the silence that resonates,
a lament of absences,
the flowers bloom in the shadows,
whispers of a life that fades away.
Eyes searching the horizon
for a trace of hope,

the blank page waits

something to mull and make it think

diminuendo.
Then there are the words at home they choose
in our chatters animated to recounting the news.
There are the words that Grandma always seems
to say that I regurgitate, no matter the situation or their

Weaving Lines
In script, I chase elusive breath, emotions' subtle pleading,
Such words enfold, deceit swathed in a tender, soft misleading.
To paint the world through poet's lens, the rarest hues I borrow,
