Me
Can I Be Both
 Jan 2020 B
Me
Can I be both
the center and
the ray

the middle
and the outskirts

and is this longing why
it hurts so much

and why you asked me
to expand?

she is sugar,

I lost myself at age 7.
I crawled into bed and then disappeared.
my childhood behind me—
erased.
set on fire.
all it took was one touch for it all to burn down.
no more trust.
no more love.
no more innocence.
gone.

what if the sky went pink
and the birds stopped their chirping
if the world stopped its turning
what if i took your hand
and pulled you closer
if i held you forever
what if i kissed you then?
just before the sun slept
before the crickets sang
and important things
began to happen?
what if
what if we had that moment
that one second
of just
us?

My Love
 Jan 2020 B
A B Faniki
My love even in anger she looks pretty
because of the subtle smile that sneak
upon her face like the beautiful light
of the morning ray that creep upon dawn.
if you ask me what stuff are great dreams
made of the answer is simple "My Love"
for she is to me like rain
is to the earth and like sleep is
to the body good through and through.

The lamp

upward
A lamp strides it’s light across a room,
and in its soul an ember,
burns like the red sun dawns,
as up the sky it clambers.
“Illuminate it all, i will!”
Oh, and as it wills, it shall!
And before the lamp all was fire,
but behind solely cold hell.
