There is emptiness in my heart

There is emptiness in my heart 
That cannot be filled
By anyone but you
No matter who's the thrill

You may say my love's no good
Not strong enough to feel
But my empty heart knows
It stays in you for real

My empty heart is longing
Longing for your tender touch
Every missing hug and kiss
Covers a gaping hole of dust

The last night how I squandered
A parting gift to save
A brave man could use kindle
To restart future flames

But this coward couldn't take you
Hold you on your terms
That fire started uncontrolled
Emptiness would burn

Now I feel the longing days
Everywhere we went with love
Without a kiss or holding hands
Now feels like just enough

So when the dreamy bubble bursts
And snow flakes fly in my face
Warm sunsets with us sitting near
Will take me to your place

All the feelings and photos remain
Being everywhere with you at rest
Will make the winter winds warmer
Melting my loneliness best

Confirming a friendship of mutual trust
That being together would do
That forever feeling will remain enough
Satisfying life as a part of you

The object of my affection you are
This lonely man can feel you now
You and your damned near perfection
Even without your love somehow

Forever now I know you always
By heart the last face I can see
Until we walk through heavenly clouds
Love in place functionally

Bridging Bajiang's Embankments

See live rendition here Watch a ride across the wood bridge here Two bike bridges across shallow estuary water the sea salt flows into the steppe of Alishan From Fengqihu where eight fingers stream into one To funky flatlands meandering down through Chiayi In wild weeds overgrown from the last rainy date a bird flies shyly with no more than a song from a dried tree with nothing much to fawn an egret stands in muck wondering where to look but the smell of an ah-ma's fragrant garden invites him to drink nectar from her spine and I too feel refreshed on this bike path bench on the brink of fording muddy waters thirsting for a drench of plum rain showers when the deluge swallowd all in a cinch and typhoon rains will pound it like a fist Whipping winds across the bridges' suspensions their anchorages in danger of being dislodged again or moving not an inch of span reconnected as I am starting to make ends meet till the time when it is no longer hers or mine but weighed discreetly o...

To a local shrub with roots so deep

See first live rendition here Can a transplanted tree afford to lose rain To a local shrub with roots so deep? Wide and far in its reach To the sandy soil of the settler’s beach Where an ancient ship wrecked at sea Spilled its seeds on fertile soil Grew a forest in a far flung land Bearing fruit carried away Depleted and thinned towards extinction A foreign tree lost its distinction Without maintenance Till a leaf in the breeze was all that remained And the sweet taste that bloomed was soon forgotten Becoming an eyesore not worth kindling As lonely it had become as could be Yet just north across the tropic of Cancer In a temperate zone with a kind of its own So much density the forest did see With its own kind thriving naturally Through storms and droughts and falling outs Wandering offspring in wind settling in Unpicked fruit fallen to the ground For anyone who’d lost their doubt This is how culture comes about As ship-wreck...
