gloss: a haiku

Who doesn’t think time
Will soon whisper to us all
I’ve lied for too long

Garbage In: A Haiku

Used then discarded
Rubbish now or recycled
Into your new life

Love cannot look

As strewn doubt
And decimated rock

As supplanted fear
Amongst trust’s ghost

As words, bright and dark
And words alone

Love cannot be

I
lied. For
I wish
you loved
me.

A soul set aflame
A heart that stirred when hearing
The sound of my voice

Love I’m learning
Is loving aloneness
I’m learning love

Some whimsical plan

I let you drop the breadcrumbs

I ate in blind love

I peer from upstairs
My four strong walls and one door
In love’s pagoda

I walk in Sanskrit
My neighbors breathe my incense
In wonderment drawn

I’m faded away
My honesty, sweat and blood
I am wasn’t there

Lines I never knew.
I loved. It was. I must have.
I longed for so long.
