I apologize for not posting in a while, as I have been busy working on wedding planning stuff. As the big day gets closer and closer, many of my poems may reflect wedding-related topics. I hope you enjoy them 🙂
Loyal, truthful teal,
magical, elegant gold –
love – wedding colors
Lace, blue silk, sparkle,
beautiful floral in hair,
elegant princess
I was visiting U.C. Davis the other day and learned of the Social Sciences and Humanities building, which students called “The Death Star” where many got lost and discouraged. I took some photos of the building and was inspired to write this haiku.
“Concrete” labyrinth,
a maze through humanities,
to be lost… in thought.
UCD Students – May the 4th be with you!
Nice day, birds chirping,
food in hand, visited by
fans, squirrel stardom
Limbs embracing sky,
embracing me, as I lie…
beneath her beauty.
Nature’s carved beach wood,
various shapes and sizes,
original art.
Like little soldiers,
they stand guard, watching, waiting
atop Duck’s Island.
I entered a room filled with candlelight,
rose petals scattered the floor.
“Oasis” plays in the background.
I smell the sweet aroma
of coffee, of cocoa
and of cream.
Smiling in anticipation,
I reach for my precious
flickering in the candlelight.
Silky cream on my fingertips,
soft and smooth to the touch.
I slice the sponge-like cake
and devour
this exquisite Italian gem.
The perfect amount
of sweetness
fills my mouth
and satisfies
my tongue.
Comfort, happiness, pleasure…
We blow out the candle
and slow dance in the dark
to the beautiful music
in our hearts, in our souls,
in our appetites.
“When we’re lost in a desert night
and we’re chasing our paradise,
when we can’t fight another fight,
we’re gonna make it.
You’re my oasis.”
We kiss in the dark,
our shadows in a tight embrace.
I know I love you,
my precious, tiramisu.
Man-made connection
bridging beauty of two lands…
a walk of wonder.
It was a relatively warm winter day, so I decided to go for a walk and observed the beauty of childhood wonder and joy. This is a poem based on my observation and reaction to such a sight. I did not have a camera or a phone with me, so the image is one I took from Google of a similar scenario. I hope you enjoy it =)
Beautiful warm day,
two kids run around a pole.
Life is good – childhood.
