Older now,
I remember wishing
to be all grown up;
a gift I wish I could pawn
return back to be young.
Binge watching cartoons,
no responsibilities,
childhood memories;
I long for simplicity
the feeling of being free.
Being an adult is hard. So many responsibilities creating complexity...
Cloud boats
adrift dark sky,
crystal stars,
we lie awake at night
enamoured
by dreamless sleep,
surrendered
to love's kiss,
lost
in the moment.
Love's kiss reveals the best kept secrets, awakens desire to breathe in every moment as if it were our last.
Piano keys
the night fills with
sweet melodies

a pool of stars
I bathe my body
in the waves of light

peace makes me her home
The feeling of peace that washes over as I look into a sky full of stars.
dear heart
be patient with me as I learn
to love myself
a little more each day
take better care of you
Learning to be kinder to me.
moonbeams floating

in the deep dark of my despair

there's someone who cares
I have been attempting to write modern haiku. Im no where close to good at it yet. But I like studying, practicing and reading it. Here is one attempt to describe the bright life boats in my life that keep me from sinking .
Fireflies
of sky
midnight
tempests
tempting
the mind
to find
escape
of darkest night
a place
of solace
peace
from chaos
soft lullaby
of dream
Darkness is light to a dreamer.
the early bird crows
I listen to the sunrise
the cloud fingers
plucking the strings of
a golden harp
Thoughts while waking to the sunrise.
petals of rain

unfolding into the skin

love shatters soft

like warmth on a stone

it tempers all despair

I keep trying to forget you, but the wind keeps whistling your name, and my heart won't stop listening.

Whatever you do,
you'll fall from grace,
at some time
at some place.
But my darling,
whatever you do,
fear not,
this is only one part
of a much larger plot.
