I never knew thirst
Then came the hollow season
That scorched my flowersBut with Winter’s grace
Promise for the desert blooms
Fills this space once more
Haven
Were I wearing my worldly cloak
I’d doubt
Tenderness
His eyes toward her
Her defense to accept
I’d doubt
Humility
He’d decide just then
She was worth fighting for
But it’s faith that enshrouds me
For I’ve seen their haven
I know their hope
Wherefore I lift open the predawn window
Fling out to the chorus of feathers
What doubt
Solved
With tricky, new eyes
I’ll look back on these puzzling days
Whole again
Brazen somehow
Humbled, too, I hope
By how the pieces I thought held
Instead held the scattered jigsaw of me
With equanimity
myopia
is It
Sugar
are You
Contented
will You
Remain
Happily
(quietly)
Conformed
Love Mercy
Aware
This hurts you,
I have decided to speak, nonetheless
‘tho I don’t use words such as “nonetheless”
Nonetheless, I will speak
I love you
Your vast imagination
Your eyes that refuse hopelessness
Your damn, smart ways
Your walk -I hear the music too
Something epic
You are
Some lifetime, somewhere
Someone was
Something in me now, is
Chasing
Pray for me
I am tired
But I won’t sleep
I’m a fighter
But I choose love
You understand me?
Tell me you understand
I don’t love you
Wanted Alive: A Haiku
As I capture you
Your wild brother rejoices
My songbird, my love
Marooned
It will always be an island
The difference between us
Should I begin to dream
Somehow we share the same sand
Abandon me again
Death: A Haiku
To write of the rain
When drought looms o’er this valley
My pen would ask why
Corona Blue
Will you come back
Call my name one last time
With that Aegean smile in your voice
Comfort me with your bewilderment
Remind me I’m smart
Let me sneak into your shoes
And pour myself onto you
Will you come back
obscured: A Haiku
Chin up and recall
Who stared at your hurting heart
With a false god’s eyes
