Poetry

   The only one who knows this ounce of words is just a token
is he who has a tongue to tell, but must remain unspoken.

   I write my poems a la poetry but there are those
who don't agree with me who write their poems a la prose

upend your glass, old man, or else the universe will stop.

   You've come to be a shining sun assigning me to write
A world of words I never could have written in the night.
   I see her in the midnight sky, my fairest of the fair.
She's dancing on a crescent moon and stars are in her hair.
   A snow-flake landed on my hand and said, as if in fear,
"I must be on my way, before I turn into a tear."
