Why do you slip behind me
And stay silent
Why do you touch me with your quiet
And just watch

I Need You: A Haiku
I find art always
Throws itself down at my feet
And asks for my arms
Impending Dawn
You’re not of this world
Or at least not yet
Or maybe no longer
Or are soon to be again
It’d explain everything
Like the silence
Like the dark
Like the feeling of impending dawn
his girl
He calls Her “his girl”
He must love his Mom
Else where’d such affection been learn’d
He calls Her “his girl”
Time after time
And the light in his eyes, how it burns
He calls Her “his girl”
Let her cherish it so
‘Tis a rare heart that ’round these words turn
photo booth
I can’t make the plaid
Take its leave of my mind’s eye
Regardless, I’ll try
FEAR
Your name could tickle
So I bid you, say it
Out loud in darkest inkAt the right angle
My breath you’d strangle
Yet of you I smile and think
Since You Shine: A Haiku
Yes I will keep you
Where all you are will shine through
I will set you free
Perceptions
The Sun, as she sets, sighs to the New Moon:
“You’ve the right to not love me, but I fell to your swoon.”That Tide, ebbing slowly, seems to tease the gold Shore:
“I’ve welcomed your warmth but I seek Something more.”In the meantime, Earth’s Hearts sense these rhythmic rains;
“We’ll dance, most courageous, with Passion and Pain.”
Volition
I’m saying, When Will
Fully believing that You Will
Because I know that you know that We Will
Give our hearts to each other in Good Will
As we walk through life’s wonderment At Will
When you ask me, best believe I’ll say I Will
Your Name
Yes to just you
Remind me your name
Let us dress fancy
Strut down grand stairways
Dance in the dust of once-hallowed halls
Both end up barefoot with no news of our shoes
Yes I’d be honored
Remind me your name
