Aloha

Where we depart today
will bring us new learning

Everyday is a long yearning

Aspirations will make you a star
but only determination will take you far

--to my first official group of students

Crush

Beauty in disguise

which makes love translucent.

Staggering heart that seeks solitude.

Ambitions drain

with withering gain.

It's a perplex pain

Yet, I ponder to see you again.
