KINDLY MOON
How now kindly moon?
You full out the night with
Your enhancing round of brilliance:
Where there lovers
Under your umbrage?
Silhouettes of passion passing
The time of drawing cobalt sky:
Any annoyance sated in sweet kiss
Of dark tree shadow
Then further you to traverse
To a smile in the night blanket of sky

UNDER AN UMBRELLA
How do i colour these rainy days?
Now that my palatte is scattered.
Now that my brush is loaded.
How do i colour the deluge?
Who will scold morning birds?
Do they ever sleep late, like we?
You can wallow on pillow mounds
Poo poo the downpour away
But daylight saunters in.
Cut me some slack, you plead.
Got to ponder raindrop peperomia.
Strut your butt under an umbrella.

ALL HUMANS
Just after the dust, facing masked countenance,
The dance between heaven and hell.
Borders of bombs, and children
With faces stained of estrangement,
Bereft of the beauty of sunflowers,
Bold before evening's coming.
Isn"t this enough?
Enough is enough!
The lament of sinners only provoke
The howling winds of more distraught days
With roof and tree strewn streets.
Bring all humans: cowering , saintly, or brave
Morph them into superheroes for future days.
