color-blind

watch their grey hunger
it is passionate and raw
like half fed bellies

why don't you describe
the hues of other passions

fog

^{( clouding - )} _the fall

that leaf in the sky
must also face the season
what if it's a cloud

i have seen them fogged
by the encompassing grief
in search of sunshine ..

thirst

hold a drop of rain
in the hollow of your palm
water is sacred

know the taste of tears
since the very ancient times

romance

the fights we had had
over trivialities
was only romance

the sun could be harsh
the moon shines on borrowed light
just the romance glows ..

the borrowed light of the moon ]
