Ballad

Chocolate

Dark chocolate

With its rich bitter taste

Is the elixir of life

Chocolate is a potion

With its sweet aromatic smell

Capturing the heart of all ages

The smooth edges

and the deep darkness

is a choice of a treat or a life saving decoction

Dark chocolate

With its rich bitter taste

Is the elixir of life

The soft muted snap of a bark

Turning the bar into two organic shapes

With crumbs jumping to the floor

In between the crevices of the newly cracked bar

Natural ridges of shaved chocolate

Mixed with a little bit of white evaporated sugar

Dark chocolate

With its rich bitter taste

Is the elixir of life

Ode

Ode to Cavern

Ode to cavern

Bigger than the ocean

The natural cold stony walls

With the cold breezy

Wind of the sea

The glistening of the saltwater on the walls

Although with rugged pointed edges of rocks

The cove provides protection

Such creation

Or mistake is

An anomaly

With random day trippers

Who are as lost as the city of Atlantis

Finding comfort in a silent cave

A cozy cave

As foreign as aliens

Yet finding comfort and trust in a matter of seconds

Ode to caverns

Elegy

Time

Gone...but where?

I can't call you on the phone

I can't knock on your door

No matter how loud I scream you can’t respond

I held your hand as you took your last agonizing breath

You stuttered and struck again

I stared

Hoping you would go faster

But when I look back, I dreamt you would stop

You were created

living for eternity

While the ones that need you the most

Are filled with remorse

Only then do you stop

Mocking them in their disappointment,

their failure

As if you had no emotions

You are there

Unbreachable

We can experience you

But paradoxically

You don’t exist in our vision

Not able to be interpreted

We tried to solve you

To captivate you

But you are infinite

Limitless

Something imagine by the creators

Who can’t tame their own invention

Fate

Crucial decisions

Heart pacing events

Last second moves

Breathtaking moments

All depend on its decision

Unstoppable,

Not even if someone is always angry

We hopelessly watch

Letting you

Playfully

jokingly

decide.

We unknowingly gave you life

And foolishly gave you freedom

We mourn for your passed

And plead that you don’t leave

Yet you slowly

Painstakingly

Drift away

Limerick

There once was a man

Who had a failed tan

And with his deadly farts

As deadly as darts

Blew up all of Japan

Haiku

Volcano

Ocean waves splashing

I hear a giant rumble

Boom, everyone dead

Free Verse

With the start of the Olympics

We expect joy and excitement

That is

inside the stadiums, the interior

on the outside

stray dogs innocuously seek for bread

but humans are culling them

for safety, when there's the interior?
