you are golden
roses are red, like a kiss, a stamp, a heart that has bled
or white, like doves, a dress, a jewel shining in the light
you, my friends, are yellow
not like dirty snow or old stains in carpet;
yellow like the sun that blinds us on our walk,
stars we gaze at from different windows until we look away,
keys that unlock us with every little talk

The Lizard
the lizard lay
motionless
not dead,
just content
soaking in the golden rays
bathing in the summer warmth
nestled soundly

from his domain
and soon, each breath
grows heavy with the weight of the last

the uncut grass of the dew-wet lawn,
droplet bent:
cool promise as
I, barefooted,
explore
the cusp of the...

Night is blinding
The road seems eternal with colorless blobs surrounding its path
With little to look at leaving me fearful and uncertain
It twists and turns as if a blowing curtain
The moon sheds some light
Too weak to guide my way
It sits and awaits to be chase by the sun
And reveal this dark world around
So I will follow this road till tomorrow
And begin once again
On a new horizon's...
