Mashimaro's Corner♥

In the open field we drift There is grief, there is bitterness We embrace the shattered pieces of our hearts We learn to let go, we learn to forgive We will continue our journey to another destiny The sun still rises from the darkness Shines its array of light into our hearts Giving us hope, giving us courage Though it cannot be everlasting We will await For another day To come.

Unknown to the world, the world unknown to us Basked in the comfort and protection of our loving parents We were once the caterpillars Free of care Just munching up and absorbing Growing day by day Now, in a layer of cocoon We are enclosed; Surrounded by hardships That await us in the reality of the world Failure and success We mature through process of overcoming One day, we hope to break through That wall of hindrance To see the light, to see the future And transform into the butterfly that we dream to be.

A free verse poem inspired by Michael Ondaatje's "Sweet Like a Crow"  Your gaze is like a puzzle piece waiting to be solved like a secret door that leads to the unknown Like a never ending maze, like the Mariana Trench like a series of hieroglyphs like a question that holds no true answer like a vague response of neither “Yes” nor “No” but a “Maybe so” like a multiple choice questions with the choice “none of the above” like a five- star Sudoku puzzle, a game of charade like the moon blocked by curtain of thick clouds a veil of mist that covers the mountain morning fogs that blur the ray of sun like a story with a cliffhanger at the end Like a deep poem that I struggle to understand like someone acting pantomime, a silent movie like someone trying to conceal their feelings yet giving hints with indefinite meanings

A free verse poem inspired by William Carlos Williams "This Is Just To Say" I have read aloud  the love poem that was  in her drawer and which  you were probably keeping it  a secret Forgive me  it was so tempting so sweet and so stupid

Free verse poem inspired by William Carlos Williams "The Red Wheelbarrow" So much depends Upon A deceiving  Hope Coated with white Lies Within one's Misconception
