Wait…I pray
I’ve one last thing to say
I wanted to meet your demons
I wanted to kiss your scars
I had ears and words ready
To hear your story
To speak light into your Day

’til December: A Haiku
Leave me and let me
Be lost in the shadows ‘twixt
Street lamps and sorrow
The Twenty-Second of September
Autumn is the hidden bottle of vodka
Your judgmental lover taking shots
Under the guise of necessity
Autumn is when you realize you are indeed too tall
For feigned devotion
For relative truth
For heroes not within
Love’s Body
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
Landscape
As They fall
Or try to jump
Some refusing, debating gravity
Some letting go easily
I watch
I come close
I attend
To their this season’s stamina
To their next year’s rebirth
Early arrival
On time, or delayed
Let the Weather so decide
Unnamed Rhythm
May we finish with a dance
A chuckle, and stars in our eyes
Awakened now
Eyes opened
Perhaps late by some standard
But prepared
Then start the new Day
Caesura
I can do this too, hold on
When the weather turns
Watch in awe
Wait
In wonderment, listen
At the end of the frayed, weeknight rope
I can remember the first days of Spring
Out of sheer will
I will recreate
The green
The youth
The primrose, if I choose
Stripes of Stars
What is it, you ask, that ails me
The pain for the colors within
See
Black, brown and white
I've every stripe
Extraterrestrial green
You sense what I mean
Supernatural blue
As too, do you
I have every faith
handshake: a haiku
My Father's told me
The Days won't end, you won't come
I must believe Him
Beige
It's a nice place
It's muted, but purposely so
To any who'd wander by, I'd say
To make things make sense
I've worked hard
I've these eyes, after all
There is one thing, though
There is the question of the door
I cannot easily enter
I cannot easily leave
