Stars in the Sky

a star in the heavenly skies

is just a star among meaningless stars

a star stops being just any star

as one pauses and stares at it

to come back every single night

to enjoy its light and shine

and fall in love with its charms

one to share your secrets and wishes to

twinkling to ease a difficult day

twinkles that are actually smiles

and dreams we hate to end as dreams

hoping it would always be night

when one has come to love a star

waiting for its falling to the Earth

to capture the moment in one's arms

some do come as falling stars

to grant a lover's wish true

but some remain as stars in the sky

a star in someone else's sky

and only time and chance can tell...  

Summer Nine Seven

like seeds

living in lonely crevices

thirsty as the arid plain

baked brown and broken

gasping and turning blue

water at the cusp of a hand

stolen by the scorching sun

cannot lament, cannot cry

tears that roll down

carried by the winds of El Nino

would be lost in the mirage

as they lay down motionless

pondering upon the blue sky

looking for hovering gray clouds

and await the first summer rain

to sprout and show its greens

covering the once barren land

color the world with flowers abloom

with each life laughters and smiles

though it is almost June

The Moon's Letter to the Earth

to the earth

oh, earth full of life

i ask you for your love

for i am the lonely moon

barren and without my own light

as you turn around

i shall follow you

until the sun will die

until you're safe and sound

let not my phase

affect your tides

i often change

but my love is unerased

see that i'm small

compared to your vastness

different we may seem

still, love conquers all...

from the moon
