Cut
you cut me deeply
with your dishonest love
now i'm bleeding out
Senryu
Us
do you remember
lying on the green green grass
dreaming together
Senryu
looking right at me
you exposed a comely breast
a blithe seduction
driving me to distraction
letters falling from my hands
at a total loss for words
scrabble forgotten
Choka
large green eyes
honey coloured hair
and cherry lips
she moved with cool grace
dressed in a jump suit
that clung to her curves
like sugar to pie
looking as gorgeous
as queen Marlene
of the silver screen
and when she did speak
her words flowed softly
a swiss german lilt
so i engaged her
in conversation
for two years
Choka
a gentle rustling
a blur across the sidewalk
a bumblebee mouse
Hailu
snow sparkling, drifting
down through the darkened wood
a grouse drums, unseen
Haiku
you lied to me
so very many times
i forgive you
for i can see inside you
and the pain that burns there
horrible wounds incurred
as an innocent child
please understand these truths
i am afraid for you
i am not judging you
i will not desert you
i will always be here
and i love the real you
but i have my rights too
and at this painful time
i need respect and truth
and solitude
Choka
