Who is there to take
Confession
Who will say the word
Forgiven
Cry aloud to God
Or Satan
When in truth you were
Mistaken
Daily
Thick with it, time was
But the naïve do not know to know
All the breath was of wishing ghosts
The music -mere lawful lies
And none were bowed but to their own bruised hearts
Sing me away they said
Drawn: Another Haiku
I peer from upstairs
My four strong walls and one door
In love’s pagoda
I walk in Sanskrit
My neighbors breathe my incense
In wonderment drawn
Firework
The promise echoed
Will not be denied
You will not see these eyes again
One heart and one line
Is all that will rise
I cannot confuse who I am
Sovereign: A Haiku
I prayed not knowing
The flavor of joy you’d taste
I love your happy
Arms
I was planning to walk quiet with you
And look out
From someplace valuable
There was no plan to be
Us
And them
It was to be
No souls lost
Because we walked
Generations: Another Haiku
I will be the one
In all these generations
Whose mind I can trust
Only if and when
I throw questions to the wind
As you hold my hand
Leave Me
I need you to leave me
I need to feel the dust
The distance
Willfully, mecifully placed
Between your spinning heel
And my most witless heart
As I, with abandon
Am unable to abandon
You
To save me
Dual Duel
Leap from deepest sleep
Astound me with awakedness
And what next
What jocular heartbreak next
Put me to the test I will
And end this duel
Now as I’m awake
I will
Sin: Another Haiku
Laughing as I walked
He was scheming as my heart
Sought out its best friend
