Colorless

I'm fond of the haze

that stretches on memories,

the dull fog rising,

rejected by my rainbows,

and waiting at the bottom.

Sleeping sky

The moon snows at night

Ray balls, tinier than ice

Freeze the Lightning spark

Shades

Sunsets, love and pain

Fallen petals from a rose

Dancing in the flames

soft like a lingering kiss.

Chapter 206 of 448

After clouds

Sunlight scattered through

The enigma of your eyes

Shames the midday sky

Teardrops wash away all sins

Banished mists, new beginnings

The clear sky wears you

Lovely, deep and concerned you seem

When the heavy clouds carelessly rush before the winds

Uncovering, uncovering the nakedness beyond

You appear,...

look! we say, the color of the sky!

But it is always you, covering the nakedness beyond

Changing Colors

Lobster in my hand

Dumped in boiling water pot

Embarrassment blush

Dipped in butter, savored lust

Succulent on my moist lips.

The seas over power the sane

Deep in sight the same
