This Haiku: Still Life In Ink

You sketch out my days
And name me “Consecrated”
Draw me nearer then

Before The Rain

I want those long soaks
We don’t touch
We don’t speak
We just hold
And we talk
And our hearts
And our souls
Greet old friends

There’s nothing so-so
About the dazzle that’s there
So hot that it’s cool

“Bronze Fonz” Gerald P. Sawyer, Artist; Milwaukee Riverwalk, Milwaukee, WI

Painted with purpose
Sculpted stunning in His eyes
And formed not to fear

Lest God speak my name
Before He summons your soul
I’ll not leave your side

I’ll have that soft blush
The pink smile beneath the black
On my left that day

For a soft spirit
I will search the world over
I’ll start with inside

You woke me from a dream
As I hugged a comic book dog
Confident in my devotion
Extend your hand to me
Off to where you’re hidden….

Here’s one shining truth:
You love one million percent
You’ve done it all right

This another day
Of wandering, wondering
Knowing I can’t know
