Vamp Cat MagazineTwo Poems by Ophelia Leong
NIGHT WIND
The night wind whispers your voice in a sigh
Which finds its way into the whorls of my ears
Reverberating and twirling
Until it comes out my lips like a benediction
Moonbeams ride the chill air
Stars sparkle like stallions’ eyes
Along the street my feet tread in determination
Following the teasing tendrils of your name
Hanging in the night wind
Like petals fluttering on a nearby rose bush
Streetlamps blossom along the way
Their light a faint glow in the dark of night
I am propelled by the night wind
With just your name as my guide
The syllables are the streets
and the sound is the direction
The night wind swallows me whole
Like a dragon with it’s prey
STEEPING
like tea leaves
seeping through a teabag
and perfuming
gently steaming water,
I sit still and let
my thoughts
fill my mind
