Bask in the joy of our hearts
Not in the absence of our bodies
For our souls remain as one
4215
Haiku/Senryu version:

bask in joy of heart
not in absence of body
for souls remain one

Thinking of your love
Makes one selfless not selfish
You're doing it wrong

The ethereal screen haunts me
Taunts me with its subtle illumination across a darkened room
It draws words from my fingertips
Just to whisk them away at the accidental brush of movement
The screen, now blank
Unfinished and unsaved
Laughs at me in blinking cursor
Winks at me as I move on
Lost was a masterpiece, or a long and droning soliloquy
Never to be seen
No regrets as the soft light on a gray page still giggles
Lulling me into a sense of numbing safety
Calling my emotions home to the family who never lets me down
Safe in their eyes
As they too are drawn to the subtle light
Across the darkened room

The eyes of an angel
Elude me once again
Found in the dreams of love
Nightmares of a reality without you
Mysteries of the universe
Remain hidden in your smile
Words, vacuous, burn the heart ashen silver
The color of the day
Left to smolder in the absence of...
Who, what, when, where and why
Rotting in the process of wonder
The mind, my mind, is evil and torturous
Laughing at my gentle, loving soul
The heart struggles in the what ifs
Knowing there is no doubt
Reliving history just in case
God, I miss your skin
The creamy perfection
The perfect amount of silken heat
The way it flushes neon pink in a glance
Lost in your absence
Lingering in the perfection
Of the reality of, us, together
The future ties the past with cellophane noodles
And I miss you every day

Like being forced under frozen water
Electric burning in the lungs
The heart beats in fire
The body shocks itself alive
As it is dying
Memories flash
In pangs of emotion
The used-to-bes and never-was
A future with burnt edges
The sensation of the last time you touched me
And the death of a part of my soul
