I rise to greet the dawn

distracting my heart

I take a sip of dark roast

and exhale

today I will

just breathe

I find myself...thinking
about you
Sunsets,
Beautiful lyrics

In the sound of
Thunder,
In the calm
of soft rain, drizzling

In all the little things
and inside the
deepest part
of my soul

Do you ever,
just sit with your head in your hands
wiping your lonely tears
remembering...

Your lips softly placed
on mine
A gentle opening
allowing our souls to collide

Embracing
our arms lovingly hold
This moment
wishing it to last forever

Your lips
sealed with mine
This moment
wishing it to last forever

A million memories
of a million kisses
my neck, my body...all over
kisses all the time

but, as the months
slowly turn into years
I have only fading memories
... of a few

I wished
I saved some
for these
rainy days

Dance with me

your hands in places

I crave you

kiss my neck



Dance with me

till the sun greets

whisper what you need

all your desires



Dance with me

the stars our only light

our bodies

the only warmth

Beautiful lyrical words

drawing a cunning belief

of everlasting

adoration

Utter deceit

painful, heart wrenching agony

evoking more emotion

perhaps, pain is our

                                    ... elusive love affair

Your beautiful brown eyes
A window to your soul
I can tell you everything
My mommy, my friend

I know you love me, unconditionally
It is the one certainty
I have always known
Your love for me never questioned

Mommy, you are my anchor
In my happy days
And my darkest days
My mommy, I love you unconditionally

Your mischievous gaze
your dark brown eyes, not as shiny as they should be
tell a very sad tale
straight from your heart

I offered you an
Olive branch...

Being with your broken
soul, whilst trying
to repair my own
was just hurting us more

I smile
I laugh often
slowly letting go of the hurt
and pain
you have caused
I have forgiven you
but my poetry...  still
needs me to hurt

just a little longer

To look at a soul
and not seek
the face
of beauty

To look at a soul
and not need anything more than it offers
too many are judged, in such cruel,
unfair disgust

Look at the beauty of scars
pain, hurt
loneliness
... despair

If you seek beauty
you will never
truly see
the beauty of a soul

As another night
Slowly creeps in
The dreams I will dream
Filled with your warmth

A desire to
Just hold you
and be held...by you
Perhaps, a little kiss

A dance
With your tender lips
As I fall asleep
In your loving arms

Infinite numbers between 0 and 1
between 0 and a million
we always want more numbers
than we actually get

So, I choose....
Forever
and beyond

My sorrow will
always find
your memory,
and smile...

There is a darkness
I have known
For longer than
I should have endured

I have not shed too many tears
Today…
Last night,
I cried myself to sleep

I dreamed of your touch,
But in my dream
You faded…
In a clouded dust storm

Forced… to turn away from you…
What – the - hell was I thinking?
I - can - not turn – away
Not – from – you, I cannot bear it

But I did… I finally did
I woke up, I step closer to
The window,
Glorious raindrops falling

My tears dancing
On my cheeks
While I smiled and said,
Goodbye, my love

I see you through
a reflection I only wish
you could enjoy, raw and beautiful
but this is my view, for now

At first glance, I dare not ask to dance!
Intimidating...
Breaking down your high walls
has been a task, a frustrating challenge

You speak few words,
your time
I have to demand
but demand,  I will

For the man I see, the gentleman in you,
is worth my effort
surely one day, for you to demand
... more time with me

Your stone-cold heart

does not match mine

not like it used to

we are worlds apart now


I made you smile

I made you dance

I made you look forward to the rain

Oh, how we soaked in love


After all, that's said and done

and then some

an emptiness many can see in me

but never really feel

Dearest poets

we understand each other

through our universal language

of love and compassion


Our words

our love

our pain and joy

dancing with our words


Into a beautiful 2020

I'm stuck in a
Daydream
Where love does
Exist
Where kindness is
Felt

I'm stuck in a
Daydream
Running on the beach
Into your arms
Watching the amber sunset
Feeling your heartbeat

I'm stuck in a
Daydream
Where your kisses
Are still warm

I'm stuck in a
Daydream
Until the memory, of us
...fades away

Close your eyes
feel my skin
your breath on my neck
a third eye kiss

Your fingers
... linger
silky smooth
goosebumps...

Kisses trailing my
twin pleasure
peaked
sensations rising

Come lie with me
hold me close . . .
don't explore

Be still
Shut out all sounds
of the world;
close your eyes

. . .Inhale
Exhale. . .

Feel my warmth
my love . . .

Touch my face;
******* lips

Our tongues dance
to the sound of Debussy;
our hands wander . . .

Our souls meet;
you are inside
Don’t leave, yet --
don't stop;
don't move

. . .Inhale
Exhale. . .

We wake
to the sound of Debussy;
you never left . . .
or even moved

I will not love you
I will not give a ****
I will not miss you
but, all I do is think of you

In the midnight hour
I search my heart
Three hours later
... you’re still on my mind

I pray for silence.
While I crave your touch
Your smile
Your voice

I will not love you
I will not give a ****
I will not miss you
but all I do is think of you

We use to dance

To the rain

The sun

The moon

The stars brightened our dark sky

Shiny whispers of forever

Dawn waves a new day

Reminding me

You will remain

A distant memory

Clouded skies

No colorful rainbows

Your acceptance of the inner
most fragile souls
you hardly notice
how you are adored

You have taught me tolerance
to guard my words
you hardly notice
the impact you had in my life

I admire your integrity
and zero tolerance for
disrespect in any form
we connected and remain in our truth

Yes, you are a queen
My brown skin queen, my friend
You hardly notice
the impact you had in my life

My Angela
My beautiful friend
My brown skin queen,
my friend... forever

love is beautiful
between perky pyramids
avoiding the heart

To wake up with the chirping birds,

inhaling the jasmine scents

and the sound of the rain

dancing to the song of a new dawn

Gloriously

grateful for

yet another

beautiful day

Liquid pleasures
often, the company
lonely poets keep
when they cannot sleep
while they... weep

Although the silence

was necessary,

to heal my hurt -


my heart

and soul

aches to hear the sound

of your laughter

I think of you
My heart racing
your desperate touch and
passionate kisses

Demanding my touch,
I willingly give to you,
You own my heart
in your arms, I belong

As the night greets
Silently
Hauntingly
My memories rush in

What seem like a life time ago
Feels like just yesterday
Our last goodbye
Not a final one, but still

When I was
All you thought about
Dreamed about
When I was, enough

These days
You prefer
My silent presence
And that's what will remain

I don't need
... silence
I love words
Pretty ones too

Living through
The darkness
The grief
The loss

It's a way
Of dealing
With all that's
Lost forever

Even though the
Memories won't fade
It's a beautiful thing
To see a rainbow

All the colours
             Smiles
Tender words
             A comforting hug

For the lonely
For the sad
A smile is almost
As beautiful as a rainbow

I think of you
in the morn'
afternoon naps
empty cuddles

You are here
with me always
even when you're not
I feel your arms

Do you think of me too?
It simply does not matter!

It is sometimes impossible
to explain the stories
to all the scars
of a broken heart

instead
try to listen to
her ... silence
only then will you truly understand

I turn to look at you
just one glance
its not perfect
somewhat broken

I look at you
all of you
you look at me, but you don't really see me
im a little bent

and you
just ... love that

The beauty in
a journey traveled,
often reflecting
our pain
our loss,
but it is in these
moments we reflect
The beauty in pain

a sunflower smile
on this windy sunny day
with hope of some rain

A plum blossom greets
infinite beauty in morn'
while birds sit and wait

I give you my words
treasure them
I give you my mind
always be kind

I give you my heart
but it will surely die
So instead hold on to my soul
it's the most precious gift of all

Unsettling reminders
Painful memories
Heartfelt tears
Helpless

Beautiful bond
Soulful hearts
Sharing
...........pain
And
...........loss

We exist
For each other
...........in separate lives

I get a little troubled… often
so close to giving up
tears that
won't turn to happy ones

I know I have
to pick up the
shattered mirror
and keep moving

Being broken isn't graceful
it's a journey
to restore my soul
... from the inside

Leaves falling so slow
Every white petal muddy
Evergreen grasslands
(Visit my FB page "Haiku from my soul to yours")

In my loneliest hour
love, kissed my cold cheek
hope, held my trembling hand
peace, embraced my broken soul

hold me close
as I dream of our forever
I wish to feel love again
I dream of you
I wish for you to dream of me, my love

I am distracted by the notion
of love
and a little hope
and everything
in between

My love
I want to wake up
everyday
feeling your arms
around me

My love
paint your rainbow kisses
On my silky skin

My love
let's dance in the pouring rain
and blow kisses
at the moonlight

My love
I rest my soul on your heart
while you pull me closer
we embrace a peaceful slumber

My love
I rest my soul on your heart

My love, oh, my love
I rest my soul on your heart

My love
I give you my heart

My love
I rest my soul on your heart

I often stare
into your ocean eyes
emotional waves...
crashing through my heart
and soothing
my soul
