Julian Takali Poems

Amongst the wild blossoming rose fiesta
Bloomed a sprouting cherry flower
With ash grey leaves
Dangling freely, flaunting her dower
...

At this half opened window in the heart of winter
At the wheezing of the cool wind
Maybe I am to my neighbors odd
But the snow enjoys my company
...

And you see old sport
I do understand
That our lives are quite short
Quite concise and abrupt
...

I am fluid yet you make me a varnished fence
And around me are lustering sunflowers
With emerald leaves of worry
Very vibrant and vivid
...

As a theif with lingering desires
You can rob me
To poverty
But I will retain one entity
...

I will be honest with you
And show you my most noble cheek
With that being said
You have loved me to death
...

Just like how every accent withers when we sing
And how every cry numbs down when Mother arrives
And how winter scampers from summers warmth
And how the mere canvas becomes art
...

Thank you for catching me
Thank you for setting me down slowly
Thank you for waking me up
Thank you for making me feel homey
...

Dont try to catch dandileons
Let them swirl with the air
And dance in the wind
Dont try to pick petals off of dainty violets
...

You, by being you are as cute as a button
And as sweet as a hundred tulips in a huddle
You, with that grin which reminds me what kindness looks like
And yet those eyes which remind me of the bitter goodbye
...
