Double Yellow

Dedicated To My Dearest Brother, Kamraan, On His Wedding Day

In the moonlight

of Everlasting Love

double-yellow

lines are rainbows.

Surrounding all moons

orchid halos

where Angels

fly enlightened.

 

Where promises

come true

for you,

and longings

are never blue.

 

1 RE-AL PEN–NINO

Hearts accelerate

lines disintegrate

Wait.

Illuminations

empty train stations

Done.

Flying behind you

healed wing, black glue

True.

Kissing rainbow flames

we breathe the same

Name.

Fly, flying, flying

Laughing not crying

Sing.

With you; understood

no question of would…

Be.

Never Destroyed

Root another worldly pondering,

deathly wandering

cast in the shadow of night

her light reveals my fright.


A goddess peers at her reflection

feeling condescension;

voices chatter all around,

strangers I found;

staring at a matchstick,

a glowing candle wick.

Petite, smoldering,

flickering on older wings

disguised by a smile,

uncertainty waits all the while.

Where is the unapologetic self

I saw on a shelf,

in a house burned down;

rain clouds

burst after the shame,

enabling little flames

Searching…

Where is the self I saw on a shelf?

Wasting away in the Polar Region.

Absent.

Definition by contradiction,

theories morph before the season;

flowers freeze with rapid reason.

The warm sun’s embrace

scorches this bliss-filled place.

Just like that,

Language describes

The Indescribable.

Earthly scribes shovel

damaged dirt,

releasing Hurt.
