Home

No place is more like home than,

Me against his heart,

In the warmth of an embrace.

Workout

Tall grasses stretching torsos

exercising limbs

roots remain anchored in ground

Intoxication

Drunk on your cruel charisma

I staggered, and fell

in love, smothered by your spell

Separating Ways

turning verse with quiet ease

at pens lightest touch,

rearranged with aim to please . . .

would it be asking too much,

with you on bent knees,

white-faced - straining in a clutch,

to put end to travesties

we've created? such

release fares well for journeys

newly undertaken. crutch,

lent or found for lease,

unfit prop for broken hutch

Backwards

Writing this haiku feels strange

Like a backwards shirt

Or folding your arms all wrong

Tears Trapped

Music plays loudly by me

Heart pounds in my chest

Why can't I let my tears fall

Haiku?

Dear Haiku, how do you do?

Wait, there's something strange

Deranged little fraud are you!

How could I have ever known

You would bring me to

Tears, without even trying?

Truffles

Round beauty with a soft crunch

Enter the deep taste

with a dark ganache center

Imagine!

My life was assembled of seven syllables

Five of them to heartache

Plussed five and two smiles for crucibles
