Pearl

With this rising sun
it becomes painful thinking that
you couldn't keep faith on me
and you didn't wait!

You never stood by the seashore
looking for the pearl
hidden in the oyster.

Your White Shirt

Your white shirt
Your waiting
Like rain but
a rain that gets interrupted
by the skyscrapers;
by the window pane and
by the high wall--built to avoid the trespassers.

Your white shirt
And your waiting
made me HAPPY
made me SAD!
