As with the look in need
The reaching out
And switching off
The bedside light
A calming tell-tale moment
Came
Quietly
Thankfully
For a fleeting flash
That noise
Was graciously
Over
heal thyself (17)
No one
And their apology is coming
To hold my heart
To stroke my hair
How the twisting
The imprinting
With the counterfeit
Occurred I don’t know
I need you
Sleeptalker
Tell me
Why tell me
The Will: A Haiku
The how and the when
I have not yet decided
To live my own life
verity
There’s a grittiness first
A glassiness next
And the thought of its haunting doesn’t deterThe almost too-sweet
Yet the never-enough
Residue on the fingers proves there is more to come
heal thyself (16)
A matter of time
A granted taken away
Will eventually provoke
Your feathers
A heart that would
Do as yours wouldn’t
Is made
And cover blown
Swim away you will
Pursuer
Or crack you Stubbornest
Shred my heart in the square
heal thyself (15)
When in flight I notice
The actual
White-winged clouds
I’ll ask nothing of them
On the day
That hopes
For my quiet well-wishing
(I feel its onset)
Look
See
I am human and grant it now
I wish you peace
heal thyself (14)
Shout to you I do
Darkness posing
As promise
As light
I waiver
In my flesh
And often steal
Bravado
But I’ve wings too
On lifetime loan to me
By The One
To Whom I am Consecrated
Standing Haiku
A diamondless soul
An oracle, a prophet
A smith and a prince
heal thyself (13)
May it please you
Days I will walk
Not calling
You from my door
Nights
Revel about
Just make merry
And drown out my falling sound
My promise
For my life
To someday not search
For you in the midnight sun
A Haiku: Now and Now
The timing sublime
Lasso this song from my lips
’round that wand’ring heart
