The
Nature Within Me
I am the heart of the vast ocean,
Throbbing like the lungs of a frog;
Blazing crimson in the calm sky,
I shine my way toward the future.
Colors reflect brightly upon the mirror,
Smearing indigo, cyan and olive...
A rainbow, emerges onto Earth,
Whispering yesterday's beauties and burns away today's misery.

The Day I End My Friendship
I feel the turquoise pang in my heart...
Anguish, like the black rain drops,
Flip-flops onto each artery and vein,
Flooding every crimson membrane of my blood vessels.
In the dark night, alone, I spin in the vortex of misery.
The cry of happiness blends with the auburn zenith of sorrow;
The stars and moon hide in their cocoons;
What is left is just the lavender shadow of our friendship.

Close Your Eyes and Let Yourselves Go
Enjoy the cyan stars and the indigo moon
That light up the winter sky;
Hold each shiny planet in your hands, one by one,
And let it glows like the night embers.
Mottle your land with lavender and orange,
The seeds will become violets and daffodils,
Smear your wings upon the oceans and watch the golden feathers cover it
wrath;
Lay your heart upon mine and taste everlasting unconditional love.

From the
USA to Vietnam With Love
Turquoise dew stains her sad face,
In Vietnam, a beautiful princess awaits my return.
Each evening, she strolls by the West lake,
Watching Ha Noi glimmers in misery.
Her heart never ceases murmuring "I love you."
Each syllable, clear and melodious,
Echoes through the globe, to my longing heart...
On my hammock, I lie, all alone,
Swinging while the zenith of loneliness blazes in fiery auburn.

GIFTS FROM A WITCH
She gave me roses with thorns,
My blood, a stream of painful memories…
She gave me a sharp dagger,
Its crimson blade gleamed…I became blind…
She gave me her moonlight,
It began to dim as I lighted up my soul…
She gave me the globe,
Loneliness sank into my brain; silence hummed sadly…
She gave me the word ‘love’,
But I could not find it in the dictionary…
She gave me her heart to treasure,
It shattered like me when I found out it was a game.

A
World Within Me
My tiny universe, frozen and quiet.
As the turquoise sky darkens, gradually,
Tiny corpuscles unfold their wings
to mottle joy upon their own world.
Each of my heart beats,
echoes through seas and jungles
And vibrates the auburn soil of the spinning globe.
The sun, from my soul, bleeds in endless orange,
Longing to set to rest its tired body.
The lyrics from my mouth, forever, soft,
Waking the sleeping Finches.
