Volcanic Mist

Neighbours’ jasmine hedge
Surrounds a small cottage
Giant yellow tulips
Stand still in a vase
Of archaic story
Drumming of heartbeat
Mellow lyrics
Hang high in the oil painting
Blue and purple mirages
Race against surreal dreams
On this late eve
Autumn breeze
And forlorn volcanic mist
Descend lethargically

Boulevards of Autumn

Speed as Light
Spark as Fire
Boulevards of Autumn
Decked with
Songs of Frank Sinatra
Seep Nectar
Dance Waltz
Ordinary Days
Filled with
Unorthodox Waves
Efflux
Clandestinely
In the Dark

Laussane

Ravines submerge
In the blue marine
Attracting white smithereens
Accordions of busker
Sing
French melody
And traveller’s curiosity
Youth’s mind
Deeply haunted
By the mosaic dreams
And dazzling confetti
Reveals
Idyllic paintings projected
On Lausanne’s streets
Beneath
Mystical skies
Full of nouveau glee
