Not yet

Left alone with my dreams 

Lost...  in a you-shaped space

Friendship ended too soon

Although we were never face to face

My heart still thinks of you 

Mind wandering to where you are at

Music triggers conversations spent 

Oh how I miss our impromptu chats

Never to share the majestic night sky 

Or to experience each other physically  

Confined, each by our own now 

Not yet... able to break free

Persephone (haiku / senryu)

Demeter's blithe tears

daughter's return; shoots spring forth 

- autumn her despair

Next Generation

I fear for the next

generation's innocence 

- grief and hate-drenched hearts

their clear azure skies 

polluted by greed and war

- let love radiate

Eden (senryu)

serpentine tendrils 

cascade down her arched bare back

- echoes from Eden

The Blues (senryu/haiku)

marooned upon rocks

unknown waters encompass

- immersed in the blues

Unfold (haiku/senryu)

let me unfold, one

fragile petal at a time

- nectar lies within

Awoken (tanka)

My first and last thought

...body and mind, yearns for you 

Awoken my soul

...melted all inhibitions 

I see clearly... breathe anew
