Poetry, don’t love me
for I’m a playboy

Don't ask me to sit to paint
I can only brush and leave.
Preferring a pet yet don’t
Like time-sharing; however,
A cup of espresso is what I
Can afford to share, in time.

Don’t teach me new tricks
Loyal is not my dog nature
As I greet new friends with
You and smell their scents.

Impressionism of love leads
Me to a space of exoticness
Where I also see images of
You in various replications
As I was relaxed to choose.

Accepting agree with what
We disagreed and move on
To avoid tearing down the
House which hosts no more
Guests of honor in evenings
Is the last we disagree upon.

Waking up with thought of
You that gradually mutates
To colors in the nature and
Feminine attributes of the
Goddess is not womanizing
For God built the mundane
Man unable to stick to you
Yet wanting to return home
After a tiring, playful stroll
Out there—and this is just
Another thought awaking.

Farther and farther I wanted
To go, longer and longer my
pen strode, … …
Oops, the phone rings and I
Think I gotta pick up a call.

Hawaii -- Girls on the beach


I’ll tell you this is another piece

You swim by me like colorful fish
Mis-guide my fishing pole's pitch
Do you eventually escape my catch
Or strangle me within arm’s reach


Girls, Don’t just stand on the beach
Rings, glittering in the belly scorch
Hot as lava, my sweat into a Scotch
The next question is: do I approach

Gee, sh…
Too little time and too many fish
Rather get a piercing and tattoo each
Than leave emptily, so I preach

I like the first one, it is about a dogged determination
to express the love for poems

Hope to see more of your works.

I can see that you are not a cat person... neither do I.

These two poems follow a similar pattern:

To catch your attention first, then lead you away, farther and farther away,
to nowhere,
then suddenly, it ends
unexpectly

I am not too sure about this word, agree, in this sentence:
Accepting agree with what
We disagreed and move on

might use "agreement" instead?

Thanks for sharing

Very Happy
