Little brown pictures

Proud, and oh so beautiful. 

The Peacock emerges monochromatically 

from surrounding flowers, to be reborn.

Nearby sepia swans encapsulate your beauty and your success.

Enhancing both energy and health 

All silhouetted by the bronzed-toned moon above

Leaves on vines show longevity in our devotion.

The winding chestnut-coloured dragon

wrapped loosely around my forearm 

enquires about the strength of our future good fortune.

With palm-painted eyes set between our love and lifelines.

begging for visions of wisdom and prosperity,

Protecting us from the evils of others 

Let our posterity and duality last. 

not fading fast as henna often does

◄ Don’t play it again. Uncle Sam:

The old man in the next bed, ►
