This Haiku: True Blue

I will kiss the stripes
And all that they symbolize
Show your colors now

This Haiku: The Other Side

We must walk through fire.
Breathe deep, clutch our hearts, if we’re
to steal back our souls.

There’s your fingerprint
Fossilized upon my heart
For ten trillion years

My heart’s in my throat,
or else in my eyes, if it
is not on my sleeve.

I’ll forever reach
To wrap Time fast in my arms
Though it flees, I’ll reach

The rains burned our backs
When its promise was to soothe
I’ll still trust and touch

I love you too much.
To awaken you. Dreaming.
But it’s a school day.

Plaid felt soft then hard
Convergent then divergent
It felt near then far

This surely will be
a beautiful day. Light burst
forth. Dark could not stay.

No letters I see.
Just the breathless space where we
walk, talk and share life.
