faces

faced with challenges
under the guise of a smile
memento morifrom afar, your warmth
hidden under marble mask
slips as i draw nearcaptured in content
time slips through centuries
holding your smile

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
one single impression

one year...

with these simple lines
one year of written words flow
from my heart to you
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
one year of poetry @ write away!

more travel...

back & forth, jets fly

contrails of longing to go

fasten your seatbelt!

through a window

through a dusty pane

outward glimpse of light & hope

forget the dishescozed lamplight billows

piercing the darkened street with

internal yearning

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

one single impression

independence day

by fireworks' light
we reflect on sacrifice
freedom is not free
