Two Silver Keys: A Haiku

I heard the door slam
decidedly. I’d said it:
You’ve forsaken much.

This Haiku: November 16, 2015

Today I’ve noticed
The quiet in the color
I can’t regret This

What must I breathe out
That when I breathe in again
We would both be one

Let your mind rest there
And know that I love you true
Now think the best thoughts

His laugh was gentle
His laugh was honest, child-like
I might’ve kissed him

I see fortitude
Why then do I need her skin
Why seek her shelter

I am to want you
I’ll spend my breath to find you
I do desire you

A lanky barn cat
Content to chase the sunlight
And roam near our home

I turned the corner
And decided I was thrilled
At the fear I felt

Half-draped in canvas
I would want to fall in love
If I saw her there

Then the photograph
Capturing her rare virtue
I’d hang on my heart
