My eyes are like my fathers,
So is my heart,
No matter how much I try to undo myself,
or pick me apart,
He is a piece of me,
My bitter half.

all steam evaporates
strong emotion settles
leaving the knowing;
all things in balance.

(a poem in Haiku and Senryu)

Draw a stick figure
future - sadly diminished
and chaos ransomed.

Paint the landscape
with the sweltering glare
of global warming.

Add micro-plastic
and forever chemical
flavorings to taste.

Come share this
with me - let kisses heal and
soft whispers inflame.

Some locks need two keys
to open, some heavens can
be reached by mortals.

A song for this:
All Gone Away by The Style Council

red is the colour that speaks
deep in my soul

limitless, steadfast, eternal-
love stays true to itself-
bound by loving definition.

success unmeasured by reward
the strongest of bonds-
love accepts your offering
when all else would tell you no.
