Silent tear

An acute smile opens up

In the shape of white, polished teeth.

One or two fair locks of hair

Are taken by the breeze

Through her sculptured

Face.

Three little dimples show

In her grossly (glossly) made-up

Chin and cheeks.

The foundation and blush accumulate

In the pores in the dimples in the chin and

In the cheeks.

A golden chain

Carries a diamond-shaped heart

On the fine line of her collarbone.

For one or two reasons, she drops a silent tear

The make-up doesn’t hide. 

Rimi Yang, Sad Smile

Drama Glory

Once upon a time

There was you

And me

And everybody else

There was some truth

To believe

A connection to pursue

A turmoil to unweave

You and me

And everybody else

Goin’ round and round

Bottom-of-the sea bound

All looking for love

Life

Madness and the like

Someone to be

Something to say

Somewhere to get to

They were we

We were you, they

All spinning in a cycle,                   

In a circle,

In life itself

In story-drama soap

There we were

Pursuing thrill and joy

And a hint of madness

To spice up and season

The all so boring solace

Of shallow human being
