Every time it Rains

Every time it rains,

I imagine

cuddling you in my arms ,

and smell your hair..

The trickles,

reminds me of the seconds

on the face of

a clock,

and how much we have wasted

over trivial matters..

when we could use them

for love..

I have never forgotten

to love you

Even when it rains

Every time it rains

Let it stream down your heart

and gutter into a pool

Filled with love

In my heart

Let it striate the fog

off our windows

And remove the gale from our eyes

Each time it rains

Every time it rains..

-Kris Lee 2020.

Burnt Sand

The seabirds have flown

The grasses have turned brown

What are we but burnt sand

If hearts that bind no longer shine

But wilt in the golden meadow.

Deepest Crevice

“And what is that fragrance

That cuddles my little grey cells

And held me captive

In the deepest crevice

of my darkest night

Through mazy pathways

The wonder of you

Clusters in patches

Of broken dew

Through summer neglect

Above the frothy dunes

Peaks the silken embrace

Of curvy primal steed

Of your scented breath.

Words Fly

I tried to emulate the bird,

so I can soar with the wind.

But the principles of levitation is beyond me.

I am all mass and matter,

and I don’t possess high powered wings.

Thus, I can only perch

and propel my thoughts,

and try to make my words fly…

Back Back Back

In a flashback

if you playback,

kindly layback and

re-read that feedback

which is a kickback

from that outback

that had us setback

thus the cutback

and the piggyback.

To Each a Journey

To each, a different journey.
To each, a differing destiny.
Though we are born of the same roots

Conjoined to the same tree.

Quaint Is The Night

Quaint is the night appliqué with roses
I braid your petals as you tide
If you can striate the peaks I neigh
Why wallow, why whimper, why wait?

fatalities

Purple fountains from the weeds
Endless raging through mystic eyes
Why are your fatalities tied to mine?
As I return to tumble deep.

persistent

there is only one  woman  I  love

but  I  am  no  longer  persistent

in her memory

and so I need to fend for myself

but    she   will   remain   forever

etched

for breathing life  into  my  story

as the only one I ever cared for

and believed in.

inheriting invincibility

I inherited

My   dad’s   broad   shoulders

Not    his    six     pack

I inherited

My dad’s roman nose

Not his  sunken  eyes

But   I   feel   invincible

Wearing my daddy’s sarong

Caping on his fearlessness

I looked the warrior  he  was

Yea

I looked the warrior  he  was..

pecked

we pecked away the dust

swiped    it   off   our   feet

a     fallen      leaf      shed

a   new   bloom   appears

facing              everlasting..

does not exist,

the quest for love

if all men are clean,

god then becomes

a redundant entity..
