Haiku for Julie B

Her heart in command
Whether days be bright or dark
She walks forth in truth

The flowers watch her
She shows them color and strength
They follow her lead

All Gone

The gods seized my feathers
And gave me in exchange
gossamer wings
Because they knew that I must fly
You stole my shoes 
And mocked my innermost:
“dance, will you?”
Because you planned to watch me writhe

From a far away spot
To the center of my heart
I know you’ll find your way
I bet you’ll be an alien
To all I’ve ever asked
Pretend, will you?
As I acclimate 

To say that so much stardust
So far
Left me dazed
And more than underwhelmed
Would be the best
Truth 
So far

Bigger

What Holy adhesive 
Bound there
And how dare it have
Yet failed elsewhere

What roses perfumed
Her walk
And hued tint reflected,
Affected his vision 

Bigger it is
Their world
And their treasures, their eyes
In proper places
