desiderium
my lips hunger for your taste
lingering kisses
desiderium
my flesh tingles at the thought
gentle caresses
desiderium
i’m heart broken, my soul aches
where did the love go?

love (haiku)
∀
all-encompassing
absolute, true and boundless
is Mother Earth’s love
∀
she nurtures all in
a universal embrace
will you love her back?

linger – a haiku
your words lingering
as smoke in an enclosed room
cause my eyes to tear

but they love each other- a series of haiku
A series of haiku that I wrote for Artists4Peace. This month’s topic was Breaking the Cycles of Abuse
she is wearing a
turtleneck in the summer
to hide fresh bruises
∇
fingerprint necklace
one of many abuses
that she covers up
∇
she can’t tell her friends
not that she has many left
he made sure of that
∇
she doesn’t know why
she keeps making him so mad
she must do better
∇
if he is so bad
why doesn’t she leave, you ask
you don’t understand
∇
he loves her so much
he feels terrible after
says it’s the last time
∇
and she loves him too
so she lives this way
in spite of herself
∇

anemic
In need of your truth
my soul, once more depleted
becomes anemic
In need of your love
my blood runs unaereated
growing anemic
You are my weakness
my heart, again defeated
I am anemic

writing ~ a haiku
writer’s melody
fingers dancing across keys
letters birthing words

Do you see the birds? (a series of haiku)
Picture taken right outside my writing room.
Do you see the birds?
green leaves in shadow
birds perched on slender branches
outside my window
♠
blue birds do fly bys
chirping gossip out of tune
they sing no response
♠
flitting in the breeze
that warns of the coming rain
they seek no shelter
♠
content to just be
little green leafy birds stay
to inspire me
♠
