    Thoughts Of Breezes And Other Things

    I love late Autumn afternoons Prone to random gusts of wind As they make leaves dance Across green grass now covered In brown as they rotted on branches A sudden whistling from somewhere Sounding like a distant bamboo flute Sending reminisces through my vacant Thoughts of when I was a boy in a...

    My Train Ride To Love

    Love has come to me like a train chugging To a stop at the station waiting for it to come A very slow beginning, a very uncertain ride. Chugging and clacking, whistling and steaming.
