The Imperial Empress

The imperial empress penned poems on sliding doorsThe gulf of grief that refused to swallow herNow let the stream of life sweep her onStealing the glamour from all impending dusks and dawns On a quest for her spent soul in a crumbling palace of jadeResisting the urges for picturesque scenarios to fadeTreading in the royal …

Letters at Dusk

I don't know the genres of musicBut I hear the untouched dew drops fallMaybe I even hear your fate giving a distant callIf you can't desert a referenceCall it a love harsher than indifference If all you remember is painThen you were destined to partBut if the rippling rain on the lake makes you insaneThen …

We have crown shyness

I remember you once kissed me on tiptoeMaybe that's the reason you couldn't stand firm and had to let goWe were the same species fully grownExhibitng our crown shyness that kept us alone Now our spectacular display of coloursComes from our internal cracksLike magnificent feldspar mineralsWithout the literal facts We no longer make up more …

Blind Cat

I slipped on the bathroom floorI broke my ribs and bonesBut I feel as clean as a freshly discovered moleStuck with fate and yet under control I'm not an octopus with three heartsThe secret caskets aren't set wide apartThe hallways of my aquarium aren't deserted at nightA dying ember is still bright in a dim …

Icicles of moonlight

Melting icicles of the moonlightDripping veils of silken threadsDrop sheets of perals on bedsFearful of the sleepy heads Under the shadow of a lonely skyLaughing at old grief as nights go byTrying to see the end of the chasmToo deep to behold the bottomToo profound to be forgotten The moon escaped from the pursuing cloudsThat …
