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.

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
Sun Kissed: Another Haiku
Hoping he loved me
Chasing all the scraps of him
Just disgraced daybreak
Chord
This will be a song
Written slowly with red
On parchment scroll
In an ancient language
For a foreign instrument
By the blind forced to see
In the dark
This will resonate
From the hammer, anvil and stirrup
To the prefrontal cortex
Ending with the heart
For some
And for others
Those fleeted fifty-two bones
Pathos
Mock the freeze
Write of it
Photograph it often
For when its sharp refreshment fades away
Your comfort from the warm, high ground
Your concern kept at bay
Will taste of only salt
And tears
And grey
