Christina Chin / Mystic Poet Collaboration

man meets a woman
wearing elegance
veiling her unforgiven sin
the fake smiles hide
her unhappiness 

possessed 
by a spirit medium
the moon child
sitting by the river side
autumn night

love story — 
two little birds
from wild blue yonder
the reincarnation 
of soul mates 
her right wrist screams.
