Come from behind the black velveted moon and stars
Mr. Warlock
Mr. Wizard
For I know you’re magic
And I need your magic
To end the smoke that has left me unable to breathe
To shatter the mirrors I don’t dare look into
Which cloak might I wear while we sit and you whisper in alchemist drawl?
Very Air: A Haiku
Arrive here instead
In the very air I breathe
And in my mind’s eye
Rigged: A Haiku
Never at that door
Will come calling such sweetness
So long awaited
Mystic Brew
Only, only softness come ’round my shoulders today
Yesteryear’s harsh caress wiped clean
By a silly child’s clinging arms
The cinnamon purr of a warm West Wind
And Eastern kindness brewed just for me Mystically
The Spirited One II: A Haiku
I won’t dwell on your
Intoxicating bouquet
Platinum bubbles
Country Crickets
Tiny, shiny red dress in the dark of my closet
Hanging next to that wishin’ shirt
Barefoot together, I’ll wear them, I will
Sitting on my porch swing, eyes closed, crickets applauding
A summer night so warm, I’ll not care I’m alone
Flame
Invite me to listen
To all you believe
I’ll sit proper
Hoping to hear, but knowing I won’t
How what’s in your heart spilled out to the streets
We’ll toast to your voice and I’ll take my leave
Talk with me though
On all that you know
How you held the grey captive
Extending your hand -healed it
I’ll ask you to speak slow, I’ll stay at your feet
My heart your tent of gold
In E Major
As I’m suspended here
I’ve a song that is in me
Asking a question
That’s long since been answered
But still I throw my head back
And sing Yes
Our Rain: A Haiku
And no one was him
Tho’ I lived to ninety-nine
I recalled his hand
January 1, 2016: A Haiku
The girl must decide
Whether to remain grass-green
Or become star-bright
