Rain and snow alike
Tears and smiles alike.
Blankets of wet and white
Pillows that fall fast and slow
A bed soft and bright
Dreams without an echo.

Poems
In a way
Are like keys.
They're only as good
As what they unlock.

Early morning,
Café de Flore,
Paris.
She looks up in my direction
Sometimes,
And from here I can smell
Her perfume.

Fast heart,
Slow kiss.
Cold day,
Warm kiss.
Hard times,
Soft kiss.
Short life,
Long kiss...
Problem,
- kiss.

Light makes a temple
As it falls
In columns
Through the branches
Of a young Sycamore tree.
And when the sun sets,
Stretching the columns on one side,
In the darkness of dawn,
The temple
Falls.

A homeless man
Asked me for change.
I apologized
And he smiled.
I apologized again
But this time
I felt it.

The sun rises
And the scared remains of night
Hide behind the big trees.

Pulling on flowers
Doesn't make them grow faster.
- about people.

Sometimes on the highway
I see beautiful houses
That I'd like to live in.
Then I remember
They're close to the highway.

I turned on the fire
And the wood blushed.

To be or not to be,
That is our freedom.

Not that I don't want to work,
But even my chair
Yawned
When I pulled it.

The tiny flame
At the tip of a candle
Wobbles & I wonder
If there's anything I can do
To help.

Music lingers around us
Hiding in silence
Waiting for someone
To turn on a radio.

The crackling of a vinyl record
Reminds me that
Silence too gets old.

A butterfly
Stumbles in the air
Like a drunken man
Towards Heaven.

At a café, a girl is writing something down.
She has one shoe off.
I don't know why but that makes me very curious to know what she's writing about.

Black and white photo of an older middle aged white man leaning over a bar. Encircled in his arms is a small white and black kitten. It seems like a tender moment between them, the man's head drooping forward toward the kitten as it sits calmly and also looks down.
