​

traffic sound

roaring like the sea

through my window

before the voices

grew louder in my mind

 

​

​

​

a silhouette

stretched out on the curtain

under the moon

old memories ripple 

the placid room

 

​

​

​

the scatter

of cherry blossoms

in the spring

gone with the breeze

my fair-weather friends

 

​

​

​

content

to watch you shine

from afar

this one-sided love

of the stargazer

 

​

​

​

an old friend

surfaces online

her smile

which thawed ice

an ocean away

 

​

​

​

sitting ashore

with nothing to say

you slip away

like sand

through my fingers

​

​
