Snow Goddess





Her eyes reflect

the Sun's kiss

as she walks

upon water.


Her wisdom traced

on paw print sands

as she softly treads

along the shore.


She dreams
of snow laden earth
while paws frolic
upon icy sea foam.


Sabrina, goddess of snow

spreads warmth

melts hearts

on Winter's playground.


with love...

Sunset Over Victoria Harbor In Hong Kong



And the sun retreats

high aglow orange canvas

where I’ve seen this same glow

half a world away

on a different horizon.


And the daylight verbiage

quelled by deafening quiet

whispers secrets

to passerby clouds

never remembered.


And the harbour bids

“farewell Sun Goddess”

drowning in darkness

gently awaiting

a symphony of lights.


Until we meet again…

My Love Sense

Love
speaks in silence
the unconditional
stanzaic interlude
between heart and soul.
Never wanting
always waiting
to give freely
and openly.


Love
does not see color
nor stereotypical
ego branded persona.
As spirit seer
pure love
accepts all
with understanding
and patience.


Love
hears beyond sound
soft whispers
of heartstrings
playing in rhythm
the quiet song -
a deafening simplicity
defining uniqueness
to authentic self.


Love
tastes the sweet n sour
of daily imperfections
savoring the bitter
with the sweet.
The perfect blend
providing nourishment
for the heart
digesting the mix.


Love
smells indifference
and recoils at the
nauseous self righteous
stench of the arrogant
yet embraces the
empowering odor
of forgiveness -
a scent of healing.


Love
touches softly
hearts who hear,
minds who see,
spirits who know
the freedom to give
inherent deep within
our soul
without expectation -


unconditionally.

Sleep Travel





My dreams
carry me away
to a land foreign
yet as familiar
as home

flying through
ancient temples
market streets
lush green
and mystical mountains.

I awaken
with tears of joy
and sorrow
for I am not there

until I return
my dreams
will embrace
the far off land
within my heart.

Jubilee Street





Smoky incense

orange, mango and pear

offered to buddha

in a wooden alcove.

The street lined

as a red carpet event

with paper lanterns

green, pink, red, gold.

Hand woven baskets

home to fruits, flowers

bok choy and cabbage

strewn among street stalls.

Neighbors along the street,

raw silk, pots and pans,

souvenirs and toys

compete for attention


and the Hong Kong dollar.
