To Myself — Tianren
To Myself Woke up in the morning, The alarm was ringing; Once again, overslept, Class started, teacher annoyed; Free of ado, lying on the bed, I smiled, with eyes closed: “Hereafter happy shall I be.”
Contradiction defines New York City — Tianren
Contradiction defines New York City Contradiction defines New York City, The wild tentacles stretch further, While civilized men are walking in frenzy. Everything bears a shade of gray, Yet in its heart lies a patch of green, Contradiction defines … Continue reading
Ode to A Parted Love — Tianren
Ode to A Parted Love It is such beauty as the blossoming flower, People always say, in every sprightly spring. To embrace it never shall we cower, As flowers are not scared by the sun dazzling. They bloom, with charm, … Continue reading
Down Under
You weigh heavy on struggling bushy brows While my muscles bend in cascading waves. Through blurred lines I try to make sense of now As all fighting sensible reason fades. Your power trembles unawakening As all fear bends to … Continue reading

The Great Bear
Hannah Whitman was an only girl Who lived with Dad and three brothers. She never knew her mother Pearl. Beyond them there were no others. Hannah grew up like any man And was nobly slain like one too. Hunting in the forest they ran For a great stag they did pursue. All three brothers tested their luck But not one could land a true hit. Hannah aimed her bow at the buck, With one shot he fell in a fit. When her father went to inspect, Out the woods did come a great bear And with a charge on him it leapt The sons only watched in despair. Bow in hand, she took a deep breath Hannah aimed and hit the bear’s side It roared aloud and cursed her death Running at her like a flood tide. But Hannah shot one more arrow, Which embedded in the bear’s chest But then she fell under her foe. From the bear’s grasp she tried to wrest. The dying bear made one last try. With a strong swipe it broke her neck Murder achieved, it too did die. Atop its kill fell in a wreck. Hannah’s father ran to her side But by then it was all too late. Saving her father’s life she died Now Hannah is at Heaven’s gate.
Bird, Grass, and Wind
Bird, Grass, and Wind A passerine’s upon an oaken bough With roosted tune, enduring, never new Extending through the woods eternal vows His coat—and heart—a craven ocher hue. This strain of strain does aggravate the wind So breezes … Continue reading

The Faulty Encyclopedia
I look to you to find my answers dear, But it’s rare that I find what I look for In the pages to which your soul adheres. Maybe it hides in the pages I tore From you, like you tore … Continue reading

Time
There is something out there for everyone to never have; Galaxies we will not visit, And cosmos we will never grab We collect dust and burn minutes, Breaking nails on the chalkboard of her apathy To be forgotten … Continue reading
