Light (Haiku)
Richard Grahn Apr 2017
Traces of moonlight
Always dancing in starlight:
Turn on your love light

Great and Small (Tanka)
Richard Grahn Aug 2017
Creatures great and small
I was born to love them all.
I’m doing my best
But the rest remains – a test.
I love mosquitoes to death.

Flooded
Richard Grahn Apr 2017
A stiff driven rain
Riding a tide on the ~w~i~n~d~
My heart is flooding!

Soft Hearts

Cherry blossoms fly
As the season passes by
Soft hearts are melting*

Your Path
Richard Grahn Apr 2017
the bend in your mind
little t~r~a~i~l~s we have taken
(now lost on your path)
Finally found a function key for the tilde on this tablet keyboard. Not the first time I looked for it but now that I've found it, I'll be sure and over-use it.

Do-over
Richard Grahn Apr 2017
Dancing  across the daylight
Or romping around in the moonlit night
Spending each moment of every day
We pass through the portal
To just get away

Beyond the void
Where there is no when
It’s not very easy to find the right way
To let loose the passion and watch it soar
In a fancy fashion we both can adore

Tossed in the moment
The lines break down
Catching a wave, time slips slowly by
With never a mention of where we have been
We’re seeking a new way to try it again

Unwitting Attraction
Richard Grahn Apr 2017
Her eyes were a portent to loosing my mind
That smile made me mad by curious design
I tangled so deep in her silken hair
The memories she left found me wanting for more

Her eyes burned a hole through the channels of my mind
Mesmerized in passion I stepped through the door
Lost in the action of feeling attraction
I was tossed in a rapture I could only adore

Unaware of her magic, my life took a turn
While there in the alley she wandered away
Her tempest was wrapped down deep in my sole
There was just nothing left to settle that score

I watched her go by and on up the stairs
She left me right there to blink and to stare
From the depth of her whirlwind I walked through the night
Now over that ledge, I must reach for a light

Intentions
Richard Grahn Apr 2017
Caught in the whirlwind
Of love's many intentions
The earth keeps turning

Fly Away
Richard Grahn Apr 2017
Is there something caught in your eye?
Is it a reflection of things gone by?
I look in your eyes and find only me.
I’m wondering what else you happen to see.

Watching the vision as it floats away,
we’re trapped in a trance and cannot escape.
I’m standing right here because I want you to know.
Please take a chance now and let me come in.

I’ll dance you a jig and sing you a tune.
We can waltz in the shadows and
bark at the moon.

The piper is calling us back again.
I won’t let you go with a tear in your eye.
Just cast me a smile and venture on in.
Let’s take this last chance to get up and fly.

Do It Again
Richard Grahn Apr 2017
It’s a deliberate act.
I don’t know why
we left it that way
for one more time.
I’m pouring over the
facts that I see.
Can you tell me now
what I should believe?
Time will tell but
I just can’t wait.
I’m drifting and dreaming
in an magic state.
My mooring is loose
but I’ll stay on the course.
Please let me know
if we can do it again.

Spellbound
Richard Grahn Apr 2017
twisted in your spell
words, they fell into whispers:
trapped in your magic*

The Beach
Richard Grahn Apr 2017
Tumultuous waves
The passive shoreline awaits
Rocks devolve to sand

— The End —
