And shame kept you

These green eyes
Left alone
So alone
These long days

And silence stole you

These aching arms
Holding on
Holding nothingness
These words failed

And shame kept you

Sold

Be careful, Wildman
I’ll be forced to speak
A hello from my lips
You’ll be forced to hear
A smite upon your charm
Reminding these merged minds
That you strolled away
Your big words failed a love
Your wielded strength a boon
For broken hearts and homes

Against Hope

Posted on September 22, 2019 by Lisa Rosier

Cinderblock
‘neath antique doors
All painted pretty
Chipping away
Year after year
Facing Nor’easters
Hoping against hope
An honest wind
A gentle brush
Come calling home

My Cat’s Eye: A Haiku

Posted on September 21, 2019 by Lisa Rosier

There’s something so right
in how my pieces remain
intact, claws and all.

************************

All that I need do
now then, is take my own hand
to feel contentment.

On Getting On: A Haiku

Posted on September 18, 2019 by Lisa Rosier

I like living like
I’ve every reason to live
This single lifetime

Anonymous Sister: A Haiku

Posted on September 16, 2019 by Lisa Rosier

Acting as mountains
On universe energy
Proves to me we’re ours

Could there be more heav’nly sounds
More clear-cut answer to prayer
As these wondrous crickets’ songs
Bless the lonely air

Tear-stained girl, lovesick boy
“Keep the hope,” ’tis said
This night, they’ll keep you company
Their concert voids the dread
