I am tropical.
The temperate fall together as gathered mist in a hissed, pitter-patter voice.
Vanilla. Cayenne. Cacao. Ginger.
One sweet droplet falls to my skin from above.
I peer out through the rattan and find myself here.
Others plan. While some may, most won’t.
Worth Repeating: Another Haiku
I’ve offered my nape
My shoulder -and too, my hand
To He who is kind
Reason: Another Haiku
As if an aura
Occludes all of the senses
And feeds a sad soul
Charms
Some fine day
One lucky mate
While others clutch their pints
We’ll set a spell
Watch, then walk on by
Into the green
Arm in arm
Click our heels
There’s your magic
Distance
What can you tell me
About letting go
About bravadoWhen do you see me
From a distance at last
From a free and clear pastIt’s time
Tell me
Never mind
China: Another Haiku
Lost in the seconds
For there is a mystery
With whom I must dance
Mere Tea
You know to whom we belong
Love
I’ll never need gently lift your chin
For to remind you
How busy our eyes
What import our gathering
Why time stands still
The Why: Another Haiku
More prone to folly
There is none like her on Earth
I’ve cried out her name
Cartwheel
You little piece of gold. Take me further than I want to go. Take me somewhere that my senses know, I should have gone so very long ago.
Lisa
I thought I wore a headdress
I thought I donned glass heels
I thought I had high cheekbones
I thought my soul appealed
But as fate would want it
And I’d not dare deny
The heart I thought had strummed my name
Played Julie’s lullabye
