Untitled 4

why am I dancing alone tonight?
The moon shines bright
the stars twinkle brilliantly
the moon has the stars...
what about me?
I dance alone under the moonlight
the music has stopped now
but..., I'm
still dancing, still solitary
the silence of the night
screams with my heart
flooding the darkness
with a cry
that only my ears hear
I’m left alone to face
the music...
even my shadow seems alone
for she’s curled up so small
she’s almost not there...
and I dance alone....

Rainy Nights

			in nights when
				the rain falls...

			through its comforting rhythm
				there’s a lullaby

			hushing away my disquietness

				voyaging to the seas
					of reverie and dream

			my heart be stills
				with serenity

				the night always
					seem to know

				when to rain
					when to take it 
				all away

					to leave me
				with nothing

					but in
				ethereal harmony

			with myself.

P.S.T. #1000

Where will I find
Myself,
When I do?

And if I awoke
The moment I fall,
Will I meet my soul?
