Poems On Friendship: Of Starlit Nights And Sunflowers

Light is on

passion fruit- sprayed on

those silent boats

that never speak

in the starry night

oxygen laid on

Van Gogh's ear-

cutt off, bandaged,

never repent a tear

in the starry night

all because the night

and I will never die

pangs of jubilant, curious eyes

are my friends

will wake me forever

in the starry night.

Sunflowers

sunflowers dipping

into maple syrup

fluffy, oily pancakes
