Falling (Haiku)

The lip of Summer

Drips hot sweat from its soft flesh

As we watch it Fall

Stretching (Haiku)

Light stretches warm arms

Over dewy morning grass

Nudging a new start

Entangled (Tanka)

Unsettling fear

Entangled deeply within

Should not reside here

For in the present moment

I have found nothing to fear

The Meadow

Intently, she veers off a path of gloom,

wandering into a meadow, soft hue, full in bloom.

Tossed sporadically, flowers shading tomorrow,

amongst strangling weeds, breeding yesterday’s sorrow;

she picks a flower while wandering through,

its fragrance familiar, a scent fading; you.

A drop of memory falls from her eye, watering soil

with days gone by.

A new path ahead leads to love, new tomorrow;

she sets down the flower, and with it her sorrow;

joyous anticipation accompanies fresh ground;

she glances back at what was, as flowers wither; abound.

Fever (Haiku)

Drowsy branch wakens

Fever springs open grey blinds

Blooming colors burst

On Promised Wings

From promised wings, she sees your pain;

reaching for you, unnoticed,

her efforts in vain.

Through clouds of grey, speckled with blue,

you search the skies, lost,

as she cries for you.

“Close your eyes“, she whispers to your mind,

“believe in love, trust,

and you shall find“.

You feel her voice softly tickle your ear,

closing your eyes you imagine,

releasing all fear.

 

Eyes slowly open, before you she stands;

joy spills down your cheeks, found,

as she holds out her hands.

She kisses your lips, then softly sings

a melody of love, hope and dreams,

while soaring high on promised wings.

6:00 a.m.

It's 5:59 a.m  _  when I find

myself encompassed by you . Your leg

is wrapped firmly around my thigh, strong arms

surround my midsection. You give a gentle tug, pulling

me against you, your warmth, your skin, your lust now

carved perfectly into my body.  As your breath teases

my hair, I feel your heart beating against the smooth

curve of my back. You trace my neck with your

mouth, whispering into my ear, your soft

warm lips gently brushing my lobe,

tickling my inner child, yet

provoking the woman

in me to come

out and

play.

At

6:00 a.m.,

my fingers fumble

around on my nightstand,

seeking the snooze button of my

now blaring alarm clock. I muffle its

cries as the morning’s soft silence once again

fills the room. It is only then that I painfully realize,

I am alone.

Direction

 Comes forth doubt

From good intention

Unguarded thought

Changed direction

With a heavy heart

She turns away

No longer defending

All she tried to say
