(2013)
This was a haiku I wrote near the beginning of Fall on a day I was feeling a bit under the weather.
To cover the tears Some men will drown their sorrows Some just run away Some even will board their hearths To me? A path of rom-com
The end of the road A distance we all travel Darkness as moonlight Spreads over stone and flowers That litter our path ahead
Tonight I awoke to an orange hori… one that I had never greeted befor… It took me back, to the days of ce… and disregard for the ticking of c… Part two:
My White Cloak Part one: Place Entering day by day (1) Into a place to grow and stay Into the foundational walls of old
The words are muffled and shifting… The pounding won’t stop, the fraye… I hold onto a thread, a little blu… The tension is mine; it is a pain… Frenzied energy drains from my fin…
Lofting lazily Enter murky depths of feel Quivering eyelids Two heavy from the weight of The thoughts that lead me astray
Is there something dark? Dark, dark, deep down inside me Something that keeps me Away from the center ring A divergent path indeed
Words without meaning An open mouth seems empty Trying to express Something that dances lightly Forefront of a clouded heart
Once my beating heart Matched steel drum lines to-to-toe Teaching metronomes But now my beat has fallen Into syncopated depths
I guess it’s about that time again time for another pointless relapse Time, like a dusty album record Spinning, around and around on end I want the needle to break or veer…
A natural fog Too tired to remember Dowsing memories Broken alarm clock weeping Woe be to his faint tick, tock
Anticipation Generic butterflies swarm Twists, knots, fluttering They find no golden nectar Only number two pencils
Ask me who he is A tall tree and branches keen words drop; leaves shaken I try to collect them all But forget them by the stream
Just for a moment To glimpse from dusty pages A single white flash Tenuous seconds follow Until a roaring reply
Sweet little black box From metalic elogy Sleep now, sing no more
