Sunflower
_____________
Because of the sun
You open
With such pride
At this precious hour
As if inviting
A long lost lover
Or revealing
All your secrets
To a gathering
Of bees
All morning
I forget where I am
My shadow grows
Smaller and smaller
While drinking
All sun’s honey
To a Plum Blossom

What is love?
Standing before you
my question seems to have lost
in the wintry night
You simply exist
in the garden that is
now covered with snow
Don't feel sorry
for the victims of winter
that seems to turn the last
red of autumn into gray
Your color is what I most desire
Your opening is the most assuring
smile of the season
Snow flakes can only decorate
your beauty, and quickly
they melt like cheap tears
I love for the sake of love!
I have searched all my life
for the reason to love
but no one can give me the answer
Red Wine and Orchid
_______________________
Eyes closed.
You open a door
for me to enter
to an endless wonder
of love!
Slowly autumn!
Red wine
& the orchid comes
from nowhere
on my birthday.
Gentleman's flower,
according to
our ancestor's artistry,
but delicate
and fragile like a sleeping
beauty you rest
among books on my desk.
You brought peace
to my universe of crazed sounds
& unnamed wounds!
I sit quietly
with you
admiring your limbs, eyes
and the slow blossoming
that makes my day
worthwhile.
I wonder what makes you
gentleman-like.
What is a "gentleman"?
Suddenly
I come to know myself,
in you, who also needs water
and care from loving hands
like any other plant
that never dies
before sharing
its beauty.
