No More Next Times: A Haiku
I’d set boundaries
He tried his magic nonsense
So now he’s with you
Prison Guard: A Triptych Haiku
A Prisoner, I
Self-imposed, quite happily
Ever so content
*****
This white, gauzy space
These creatures roaming freely
Airiness abounds

Singing hardwood floors
Turn-of-the-Century cell
A Caretaker, I
2nd Story Window
What’s been in our window’s way, I don’t know
How many promising nights did we wait
Sun gracing each season’s skies through the years
That’s what they claimed all those arduous days
But our eyes didn’t see
What our skin didn’t feel
Now comes the end, so the calendar sings
Belt it out here, with me
Not a song that tells you you’ve got to go home
Instead check the window sign
You’re not alone
Incandescent Day
We were tired
Eager to see whether we could slip off our shoes
Unleash the day in a most irresponsible manner
Letting exhaustion have its way
And, behold!
It was okay!
Morning arrived in its happy manner
Offering another chance to sing and smile
To brave the wind, stare at the sun in wonder
Then find contentment again at day’s end
Unmine: A Haiku
You feigned happiness
I do understand I do
I deserve no truth

Homecoming
Homecoming flowers forthcoming
Feel no absence of my hand
Neither plead with some clock that I’d take time
Nor beg my eyes to see them stay, faithfully
We dance simple, together
I take my vow to let them
Take my breath away
They take their vow to make me
Run happily home
Aftermath
Morningtime
Eyes afresh
Gloominess
Gone away
Rise and shine
Sing with me
Happy days
Here again
Sorry Love
Redeemed I am by you
In ways I’ll come to know
‘tho I am beginning to suspect
It will look like a deepening of my faith
In God
In man
Be redeemed my friend
Within each Precious breath
‘tho you’ve long since crossed that blessed bridge
It feels good, does it not, and so we
Say sorry
No more
