Living in a Burning Tower
Living with you is living in a burning tower
Smoke billowing out the windows
as flames engulf all we built together
Tapas Rueful — A Poetry Book Review
Tapas Rueful is a quick read but each poem holds much depth. Each line could provoke lively discussions among people that live in that area; however, the beauty of the scenes invites all readers. The poems wrapped me, a foreigner to this land, in a warm blanket of mysterious outcomes and joyful freedom as the Ibis walked gently across the pages.
Comet
The comet is disappointing.
They promised, this time,
Bright and true, in daylight,
We’d see a trail half across
A bewildered sky.
Nameless
Of fragile flesh they rise, then sink to clay,
Their moments framed by gazes keen and bright.
Adored they blaze, then slowly pass away,
Perhaps too long they lingered in the light.
