Joseph KaumphawiMasawanie, Jun. Poems

I am not sure
Whether she's been through hell
Or hell has been through her.
She's seen it all
...

Cracked feet,
Caroused hands,
Blacked skin,
From the scorching sun
...

If I could tell time
If I could tame time
If I could trick time
If I could trust time
...

You are:
Better than was advertised
More than I bargained for
That which I couldn't afford
...

Cocoon cracks
Death shivering into hiding
At the sound of my heartbeat.
...

4 am.
Alarm rings.
Irritatingly so.
Left side of my brain yawns
...

Many a time
You have been the voice of reason
When mine had taken leave of absence
Or conspired with my feelings, plotting treason
...

There are mountains of fun to hike
There are oceans of crazy to sail
There are sceneries of bliss to like
There are stories and stories to tell
...

My mind swirls
With thoughts
So random
Ideas so weird,
...

As smooth as velvet is
It pales in comparison to
The smoothiness of the fabric
That's intricately meshed
...
