Kiri Xiong Poems

I've applied it over and over and over again
It's my daily routine, my butter my bread
An emptiness first echoes then the first layer lies
Pipes run deep, it may ruin your lives
...

My eyes finally fall and everything has come to a halt
My head makes a new reality and I am, again, happy
Candy cane lanes and snowflake streams of sweet drinks
I am peaceful. The dreams continue to swirl
...

Surely this day is for bread and wine
Mending today as we intertwine
Tulips show at my doorstep mat
Wendy has yet to run her lap
...

Questions arise as powerful as our sun
It is the man in me but the woman is strong
Eve has made me the girl I am
And yet Adam still has a strong stand
...

It's juicy, it's dangerous, it'll cut you up.
Like the fiery flames that burn inside her,
She will never stop to catch your love.
But the stain is here to stay if you so please.
...

My fields are filled with red roses and I love them all
All very different, all very raw
I like to keep them in sections of time
Reminiscent in the nights of wine
...

Life or death, if not one for the other
Question it and soon you'll begin to wonder
The phrases you noise or the sounds you hear
The sights you vision or the feelings you bear
...

These blurred lines are not so blurred
I finally feel free without my screen
But I still need help seeing
And there, is when I'm not really free
...

Soundly sleeping, I could look at your face all night.
Even though they're closed, I could see your eyes.
They're beautiful. Brightly blue, slightly brown and green.
Blue like the waves that rule the ocean
...
