mitosis haiku
Hope
crowded ground
a little girl chose me from the crowded ground
she gave me a tiny flower
as her little sister sang a pop song about a universe
no doubt a gift from the great beyond
to wash away the midnight in my heart

nature in your soul
the light in your heart brightens
frozen in the wind
in low valleys of my world
your blue starlight captures me

magic haiku
it

heart
of
love’s
magic
embrace
spread the WLS
two feathers
before this moment
i didnt want to kiss your lips
stroke your cheek or bury my pain in your hair
before the moon put on her gown to hide the scars paparazzied by the sun
i didn’t want to hide in that deep well of your warm strong arms for fear of being sold down that cold toxic emotional river
before you before tomorrow before my death two feathers from your wings fell into my poisoned dream turning them into golden keys opening a paradise

Spring haiku
deep
breath
eyes
closed
in
peace
no
dream
but
rest
comes
slow
hope
blossoms
somewhere
spread the WLS
rarity
little green cactus
kneeling in the sunlight
coffee soil all around
its white pot-bellied pot
heart calm palms dry
no dust storms in the lights
crooner serenades me
tells me about the days of wine and roses
that have left an unclear life
thoughts dawning
eyes drawn into a book shelf
toys pictures memories
rubbing elbows with Buk and the Bard
while the cats purr the moment away
still my heart calm
arteries stretching out like tiny arms
shut my eyes and wonder how
i can be happier
spread the WLS
night walk haiku
extending yawning branches
buds golden green
my thoughts flanked by moonlight
words less spoken
