In memory of you

Wednesday, June 28, 2006



If I ran slow, it was not your fault
For you were sleek and swift
As light as cloud, as fast and wind
A knight's horse with a rubber sole
You wore the garment of elves
Turquoise silver, green and grey
Taking the brunt with every step,
Always selfless, true and kind,
Eight months is far too short
To count your days as mine.

( October 17, 2005 - 26 June, 2006)


A token

Tuesday, June 20, 2006

Here is a token sweet and true
Cambodian silk in green and blue
Soft as a petal, the contours of wind
Strong when tested, still pliable at will.
