Manonton Dalan Poems

if this were pattaya beach
drinks could be coming
maidens would be asking
what they can do for me
...

i've been here mumbling my brains out
waiting for that kid who promise to fly
i almost round the corner of my mind
she probably got caught in long line
...

i squat similar to indian chief
use my finger to draw an abstract
on semi-wet sand; i am unskilled
i'm tracing your name; i can't write
...

i close my palm as if hiding
something, i don't want seen
i blow it slowly refreshing
reminds me of winter then
...

somebody came inviting me
to play volleyball i almost oblige
til she notice my hand is bleeding
it wasn't when i was feeling pain
...

i walk closer to waning waves
i wanted to feel the nature's lips
escaping grain of sand escaping
between my toes into the depth
...

if sea has mind of its own
fills herself up to get to you
with her arms scraping shore
won't stop til she is really full
...

i passed a kid building castle
has no idea but making it higher
it looks like dome with antler
she smiles and said ' like it'
...

i tried hopelessly to stop the fight
parents who came didn't do much
they grab their children in flight
that was siezefire no agreements
...

sun has too much patience on us
contemplating to close her eyes
some are heading to parking lot
with smile on their faces and hearts
...
