Let’s Not Forget

lets not forget
the improvised song

falling from above when
you stop to meditate

wings flapping
nervously sounding

almost metallic
that clear it seems

lighter than
daylight

Ask Me Not

Standard

let me dance
as the millipede
with no thinking

ask me not to
quit nor to explain
turn the other side

if jealousy abides
inside as I praise the
sky as the dance floor

where I should be

Sunny Awakenings

Standard

*

was dreaming of

sunny awakenings

sweet cuddling and words

few – tight together

.

was getting out to say

good morning – gratitude

will not fail me

a smile in spite

of everything

.

I will hold

happiness

between

my hands

.

Time

Standard

*

my gorgeous shell

is broken

in spite of all my care

attention

in spite of people’s

praises

.

some dark spots

where

found inside spreading

they cut me

to pull all of them out

saw me back

.

I still hurt where they

broke me

I lost that harmonic beauty

I need to heal

time is what I paid all of this for

to have more

.

.

Can You See

Standard

*

right in the middle

someone turned off

—— my light

.

since I have this feeling

.

of disconnect

of not getting what’s going on

of abiding dark

.

can you see please

what

I am going through

.
