love, i hope we can be
"i wish the sky would rain down roses, as they rain from off the shaken bush. why will it not?"

bee’s knees

we’ll meet again
don’t know where
don’t know when
the less curious the cat
the gentler its death

i know
someday
we’ll sing and dream
from dusk to dawn
the past foregone

we’ll have our secret interlace
and journey beyond the moon
we shall keep it sweet
o
pale
sweet
honey!

Same time last month I
was clamouring for his heart;
no, not anymore.
a haiku for vanished feelings
I never look back
at what glows, for my heart is
maddeningly soft.
a haiku for timid creatures
He was supposed to
feel something, but his poor heart
felt nothing, nothing.
a haiku about a boy, unrequited
you’ve come this way before

i’ve traced your veins, only with my eyes
and i’ve sung delicately, waywardly
would you plant carousel kisses on me?
you carry the ocean in your eyes
and the north wind laces your bones

i like your songful, trembling hands
and chai tea from that street cafe
i collect dreams in glass jars
and tremulous feelings

red and khaki
dimples and regrets
share with me honey breaths
and the touch of soft hands

I hope I will win
sometime, and feel sweet triumph
against my bosom.
a haiku for untouched dandelions
I’m sorry I can’t
be lovely and delightful
all the time for you.
an honest haiku
The bright, shining light
turned out, sadly, to be
nothing but a flicker.
a Wednesday green-eyed haiku
Blessed to have met you
for you’ve been most wonderful,
but we said goodbye.
a Saturday farewell haiku
Waiting and wishing
by my lonesome tonight
‘till dust bunnies float by.
a Monday midnight haiku
Heavy books and facts
about the most complex thing -
my heart it races.
a Saturday midnight haiku

A locked door and tears,
cold tiles beneath my bare feet,
relief at long last.

Such a pleasant mood
to sing, bake and read a book,
oh, maybe I should!

The stars are beaming
but my happiness, I know,
outshines any star.

three happy Friday haikus
In a smoky house,
you gave me frosted cupcakes
and my tongue stained blue.
a Wednesday haiku
Norwegian Wood, dreamy
blueberry cookies -
simple, sweet indolence.
a Wednesday haiku
5 o’clock just now:
an uncanny likeness of
tonight’s waning moon.
a Monday haiku
