I stare at a picture.
We look at each other.
Our eyes do not lie.
Some feelings you
can not hide.
Only a picture of
you and me.
Can bring so many
memories.
Feelings that we
can not express.
My pulse racing
through my chest.
I miss us.
My river is flowing.
Feels like my heart
is exploding.
Love drowning
in the ocean.
My words in silence.
My thoughts full
of emotions.

Love
me.
Hug me.
Read me.
Trust me.
Follow the
wind and sea.
Show yourself.
So everyone can see.
Let your heart speak.
Let your soul breathe.
Connect with people.
Set your mind free.

Sunny sunny day.
How beauty can take
your breath away.
People are smiling.
While the warmth
of sunlight is shining.
On faces so delight.
In forest so brightly.
Little ducks are swimming.
in sweet water.
A baby swan is cuddling
her mother.
Colored flowers
and plants that bloom.
The smell of spring perfume.

Heavenward stretching lofty spires (a)
Man created strife (b)
In his penchant to fly higher (a)
He built a world that co-conspires (a)
All he sees is hate gone rife (b)
Realizing it's too late (c)
To carve out peace with use of knife (b)
There's too much hate (c)
For one man's life (b)
The poem feels almost asyncopated and I chose my diction carefully to slow the pace down and make it almost choppy ..to reflect a disharmony of man's actions from his professed religious and lofty ideals. I left my rhyming notations to reflect the difficult pattern this poem required. a/b/a/a/b/c/b/c/b ...I'm really gravitating to short form poetry more n more. Your critique is always solicited to improve the craft! Thank you!

sand pipers darting
hopping over ebbs and flows
picnic at the beach
The sand pipers are a metaphor for mankind, the ebbs and flows the vagaries of life, or ones emotional well being, the last line suggests we enjoy the here and now much as the sand piper does on his inter tidal meal! :) I realize haikus should not be explained... but on another site I always had ppl asking me what I meant. Let me know if you would like me to abjure!

two doves fly across
perfect silent unison
a jetliner screams

As I am reading.
My mind is feeding.
My soul is feeling.
My heart is crying.
Your words they haunt me.
The more I read.
The more they please me.
Teasing my brain neurons.
Tickle my thinner skin.
Feels so alive.
When you take me in.
Into your soul
and fragile mind.
I can almost feel your
heartbeat racing.
Dark shadows chasing.
Hear you mentally breaking.
In your words
I know who you are.
You carry a heavy burden.
I can't carry it for you.
But I can pick you up.
And together we move forward.

Everybody is able to go with you through the storm.

But only a few are able to traverse the storm which is in you.

Just to reach you.
