I used to wish

Have a moment to look into the past

A place full of childish laughter

Like a dewdrop

I used to wish

Back to the origin.

Illusion

Sweetness of joy

Wind tango

Moonlight vales

Poems overflowing the fountain pen

Illusion

The sunset…

Sun Drop

Falling into palm of the hand

Quiet!

The dance

Fantasy

Love trace gently moves

Flinch

Melt into the emptiness.

Talk to Mai

The cold gets in the way

You come late

Sunrise

Painfully with that sunshine color

Painfully with green sprouts

A clear dew

A bud

Are you crying because you are late?

Mai?

Late Words

I used to wish

Have a moment to look into the past

A place full of childish laughter

Like a dewdrop

I used to wish

Back to the origin

Get love

Lullaby

Milk drops

Mom cherished

I have grown up, take a step into life

Diving in the middle of sea

Losing hope

Wild shore…

Now I’m left alone

Everywhere covered in white

Cold night

Memories come back

Shaking

Mommy! I crave for a drop of water.

Enlighten

With joy

We cry

With suffer

We laugh

With raffish

Turn away

With authority

Careless

Life is a blank space

No ego

Heaven is far

Away

Oh dear!
