Not enough blood for all life
The water runs red

Be Stronger [Micropoem]
I wonder—
How are you?
Then,
I remember
You are stronger
Than me
That gives me hope
Be stronger
Millions of Dead Souls [Free Verse]
New words flow
Out of the pandemic
Spilling on onto the page
Ink like blood
A shovel in the ground
Burying the world
How do I write
Without the thoughts of
Millions of
Dead souls
Brought low
By a virus?
I don’t even try
Smiling Eyes [Micropoem]
Keep smiling
Even behind your masks
Your eyes will
Show your heart
Juxtaposition [Free Verse]
There is a fog
Creeping through
I cannot see
Inside my head
Juxtaposition
It is over there
Somewhere
The door is locked
Keys lost in a pocket
My eyes blur
The world is heavy
For everyone
Right now
Deep breath
Do not surrender
To darkness
Click
The door opens
Solace
Turns to Dust [Haiku]
It now turns to dust
Wind whips a dozen lost masks
Bones parched in the sun
Shiver (Ver. 2) [Free Verse]
Yes, I do see her
She is beauty and grace
A distant star
In the Heavens
Or a blazing comet
Hot and cold
A goddess of gravity
Pulling all eyes to her
She smiles
A burst of inferno
Her eyes shimmer
And I shiver
She is a wicked dance
A torrent of womanhood
Flirt or tease
It does not matter
She cannot win my heart
It belongs to the sun
Shiver (Ver. 1) [Micropoem]
I do see you
Beauty, a distant star
Your eyes shimmer
And I shiver
12:21 [Micropoem]
No passion stirs
Beside me,
Just the itch
On my feet.
Follow No One [Micropoem]
The neon sigh says
‘Follow No One’
So I keep to myself
As the snow buries the street
My steps are my own
