Starry Night
(Self-portrait on the 47th birthday)
Fireflies float in stars
Curiosity smiles on adventure
Haze retreats to light
Make a wish… ✨🎂

Wall whispers stories of fairytale land
Make a wish in a dream

Red Spider Lily
(Acrylic on canvas. 11×14”. April 2025.)
You came to me
To give me a last hug
When you were about to leave
My arms were around your hunchback
Felt so real
But I knew it was a dream
I said:
When you arrive the other side
When you see red spider lilies
You will forget this life
You said:
You are the only one I will remember
———————————
[To all the loved ones we’ve lost in this life
when we meet again
Wish you are in a world where
happiness, connections, compassion and love
aren’t doomed to loss and sorrow but memories
Wish you are in a world where
parting isn’t an inevitable end
as we know it in this life from the beginning
but we still give our full heart like moth to a flame]
———————————
Moth to a Flame
Falling
One way gravity
Is the bottom you are longing for
Or the journey of falling
Did you see a glimpse of light at the top
Before you jumped
Did you meet the light at the bottom
Or was it never there but darkness
That forever darkness
Hopeless helpless darkness
Where are you now
Are you growing your wings
Not to climb
But to fly up
Will you jump again
Unless someone catches you in the middle
Will you rather be a glorious phoenix
Endlessly relives the pain of burn
Or will you always be a moth
A tiny body flies to a tiny light
Fireworks
(@Hudson 29, Upper Arlington, OH)
Like thunder
But wasn’t born from the clouds
Like lightning
But doesn’t break the sky
Walked in the dark
Faded among the sparks
Where it was lost in between
Where it will be found after

Hotel Bar
(@Prohibition Gastro Lounge, Powell, OH)
Strange city
Thundering music
Lightening neon
Fled
Chilling street
Spooky lights
Wandered
Haunted hotel
Serene bar
A shelf of brown
New world passion
Reminds before
A glass of red
Nostalgia in making
Savors after
Glimpsing moments
Passing memories
Home, dissipating in dreams
(Acrylic on canvas. 11×14”. April 2025.)
Village Lights
(@Lindey’s, German Village, OH)
Lost balloon in the wind, did the little sad face find comfort in the wonder of lights?
(Acrylic on canvas. 11×14”. March 2025.)
Eclipse
When her wings are broken
Her quiet prayers fade into echoes
When the sun shines bright
The sky turns dark
Light is extinguished
Not by angel’s tears
By darkness at the heart
