At first
love floats like a snowflake,
until it melts in your hand.
Then it falls,
like an Autumn leaf,
eventually swept away in the breeze.
Sometimes love offers mercy,
like April showers to rose petals,
but no rain can save from decay.
Love wants to be free like a kite,
flying colourfully in bright blue skies,
but grey clouds ruin its flight.
One day love will descend like sunset.
Maybe we are born to fall -
but love will always ascend again like sunrise.

Little Man Grown
8/18/2023
Thirteen years ago, he picked up a bat!
In love, he knew where his future was at.
In Major League Baseball, you get it?
Six-feet, tall now, he can really, hit it!
But this Grandma, misses her little tyke,
Who rode a tricycle and flew a silver kite.
He’ s a player on junior varsity these days.
And in other states, baseball with joy, plays!

peace, silence, solitude,
I'd love to build a magical kite
Then find myself a steep hill,
Strap myself in, wait for a gust,
Oh just imagine the thrill.
Off I would soar, into the blue,
To mingle high with the clouds,
Free as a bird, no worries or cares,
Away from mind numbing crowds.
I'd fly high, over the briney
And glide like a lone albatross,
I'd steer towards the horizon,
Then over the ocean I'd cross.
In joyful abandon, up there in the sky
Soaring in rapturous mood,
But that I could, just for a day,
Be lost, in such blessed solitude.

death,
she enters the room gracefully
belying the heartache inside
her tale of loss floats through the air
like a windblown kite
a mother, child, and death
reduced to silhouettes
her vision rips a hole
where there should be love
from this pulpit
with its congregation of one

children,
When tomorrow's door is knocked upon.
To make you face that dreaded dawn.
Where can you turn to face the day.
When the love you've known has gone away.
Morning shadows cast new found light.
Leave you drifting like a cut loose kite.
To pick up the pieces all caught up in the wires.
The weary child chasing the wind till he tires.
Give me the potion to help calm my fears.
In life's after math of childhood years.
Now that all the fantasy's have died.
Soaking wet from the tears that you've cried.
We sojourn on till our day comes.
With beating heart's and turned up thumb's.
To breath in all life's air that's left.
To appease the past that's now bereft.

She walks away.
Girlish and glorious
laughter
floats
through air
like a kite on a string
that pulls
tautly slipping through tightened fingers,
burning a little,
and slicing through
if ever left unattended,
so preciously tensioned
against the cold
benumbing
wind.
Tears begin to flow
but I do not know . . .
my heart?
or the wind?
If my heart, then am I sad
to be here on the ground
or joyful
to be watching the kite
fly?
In answer, a quivering.
A wisp.
"She will not fall or float away while I hold her thus.
She will be beautiful for me."
Wondrous.

LOVE
Love is just four letter Word
But sometimes acts as double edged sword
When you're in Love , it feels so good
Keeps you in Happy and joyful mood
Heart beats with a slower rate
Sleeps the thing the body hate
But when love tries to go away
Makes life take turns in Opposite lay
Tearing eyes and the soaring noes
You become lonely And friends be foes
Walking down the lane you think
Lifes like the Sun that sink
Shows you day and brings harmful night
Fate comes down like a dropping kite
So,
Being Lonely a good thing may be
As,
Love is not just everyones BABY.

O'er feathery clouds adrift a kite
'Neath sway lavender gardens that invite
Embracing warm rays of spring sunlight
Pining for sweet afternoon delight
With glass of wine lovers reunite
O'er dreamlike blissfully scented sight
The moon tiptoes up the sky so sprite
Till she gains apex above in height
Whilst I close my eyes to say goodnight
I tender my love dulcet good night
Spring lavender garden dreams take flight

Late Autumn Days
By Stina lu
It is late autumn now.
The leaves keep silent
to the endless teasing of sun and wind.
Occasionally they tumble and rumble in response.
The red kite is kidnapped
by the cherry branches in the name of love.
He's not depressed.
Since the blue sky is only for dreams
It’s better to break the wings
and forget flying.
You see the water of the East lake
Tranquil and gentle in the wind of the four seasons.
It’s late autumn now.
Days are trembling in your north.
In my south
They look like flowery ladies
waiting for someone to come back.

3rd grade, 4th grade, child, children, june, kid, summer,
No more school, I sleep till noon,
Oh, how much I love you, June!
In the garden, I smell roses perfume
Oh, how much I love you, June!
Butterflies and a small bee,
everywhere are following me.
I play hide and seek with the sun,
Everything I do is fun.
I can fly my kite so high,
Next to airplanes in the sky,
I’ll go fishing, ride my bike,
I will do all that I like.
I’ll go to the pool, a lot
June is perfect, not too hot.
Oh, and the ice cream…chocolate, fudge,
June's the best! You be the judge,
I will meet with cousins, friends,
I hope the summer never ends.

Try try with all our might
This time may we get it right
Another day does come
Still we are all thumbs
Is getting this done right
Really going to be our blight
Another chance is all we ask
Leave other tries in the past
Stop wait are we going to fast
Another let down have we cast
Oh my what a beautiful sight
Finally we learn to fly a kite

cheer up, cute love, girlfriend, i love you, love,
a butterfly flys so high
in the sky
like a kite
but you were just flying by
and you found me
in your kingdom by the sea
i will love you forever
will you love me ?

heart, love, passion,
One glance and flames set ablaze
His fluttering heart in a daze
Like a spinning kite caught in the wind
It has no fear of fall nor singe
Consumed by love’s eternal flame
He seems a man somewhat insane
His smiles once rare, make no retreat
Constant and fierce as desert heat
Now broaden as hot flames leap

With you on the Ground…
And I floating…
Every once in a while
A breeze lifts me
The clouds hide me
The sun warms me
And you tug on my
String and I join you
On the ground
Ever so briefly
Until there is a reason to float
Even for a few minutes
Do not let go
Of my string
My arms kite-spread
Thinking I like this
There would be nothing
But a floaty feeling
Nothing to keep me here
If you weren’t there to
tug me down
A raindrop splashes on my cheek
You tug me away
Before the
Downpour hits.

child, joy,
I am a kite
In splendid display
Of bobbingly weaving flight
Yet never to stray
As I’m anchored to earth
To a smiling child’s arm
To a gleeful hand
Way way down there
A child will stand
As I whish to left
And I whish to right
In this frenzied thrilling flight
Love the kid
Love the joy
Love being her pride and joy
I am a kite
In splendid display
And up here
In the wind
I wish to stay

childhood, happiness, happy,
Happiness is when we fall in love
with that one you know is right
Happiness is that feeling we had
when we learned to fly a kite
Happiness is a cool, cool breeze
on a warm and sunny day
Happiness is when the kid next door
always asks us out to play
Happiness is when you're by yourself
and there's no one else around
Happiness is when you played hide and seek
and you were never, ever found
Happiness is that moment in time
when we start to fall asleep
Happiness is an amazing feeling
That you'll do anything to keep
I love to be within this realm
of cheerful happiness
'Cause it's full of delight, exuberance and joy
mixed with pleasure, rapture and bliss

?Dear Santa; for my wish list
I would really love a bike-
If it's not too much trouble
Can I also have a kite?'
'I would like a new computer
With games and an Ipod phone.
I would also like a train set
With tracks to fill my home.'
'But Mummy and Daddy are very poor
Not much money they said-
So if you cannot manage the above
Can I have peace on Earth instead?'

Oh, no star, no fan, no fame, no nerd
how they see, hear or feel is how they treat
no cash nor need to be rich, life is red
low in rank but same with man as meat
each pair form from the need not to wed
a cat’s a cat, no rank, all in one seat
ants to lion, all be the same when dead
fend for kids like with the rope of a kite
that’s all it is when duty is on site
more than a type can mix with no bite
a dog and a bird can play and marvel
lie the tiny head on a big navel
love in a show to give a good novel.

Meeting you, Opend a new world in me
a world that with out you I might never see
love...never thought it would be worth being a member
Yet a fondness ignited, like a burning ember
A night to remember with all my might
Your beautys got me twisted and im high as a kite
We partyed untill morning sun shown
You left me with a feeling like i had just flown

Every day is a gift, I fly high as a kite
Love of my friends shining ever so bright

Cost a very small price
They raise my spirits as my soul takes flight

emotions, loss, love,
I didn't see the blue kite fall,
And kiss the tepid sand, as ran
With spool of yarn in hand,
As wind from sea to land
And now long years have passed
Me by and blue kite lies in shed,
I kiss the thought of blue kite
Fall…and how my heart has bled
