I felt the opposition
The tension in their shoulders
And expectation in their eyes
As the youth of their love wondered why
Why the stand-off?
For the air is ambient and new today
It is still early
In my hand, find this toy….
Heed this!
There need be no eleventh-hour
Love’s body begged

handshake: a haiku
My Father's told me
The Days won't end, you won't come
I must believe Him
Familiar
Angel
Sliding
Across familiar strings
And 'round
And down
To where,
To these ears
Seems hallowed ground
Singing softly about you
I love you
The Exam
Love it is
Don't say it isn't
Abandonment it became
Then followed fear
Oh, the prospect of life
Without me wrapped 'round you
Anger clouds
The very-present love
I had and I have and I'll have
Exhaust: A Haiku
Nothing except days
And the heartbreaking warning
There'll be no nights
Good Privilege: A Haiku
This air! Oh, this air
I am privileged to bear
The Cross of its care!
Parking Lot: A Haiku
We kept holding hands
I clinging and you dragging
One day we let go
Forces
In a different lifetime, a wild storybook
Or a dragon's imagination
We knew love
Our footsteps, in perfect unison
Sword of some sort in hand
Caused commotion
I slept easily, you breathed free
Foreheads upward aimed
This liberated others
This is to say nothing, to reveal no secrets
Of our electric touch
Dragons won't tell
Oxbow Bend
I don't want to miss a song, love
The harmony of us, the range
The highs and lows
And when there be storms
The chase
Into One
Leave me
Bad timing
Filterless funnymen
Ghosts of the most awful prose
Wash me
Rhythm of mine
Gleeful girl-woman
Eyes on the here and the now
Find me
In universe perfect metre
Simple-hearted simpleman
Helpless and helpmeet alike
