Haiku 16

Unless we want change
What we are now we will be
Watch the bent sapling

Haiku 17

Koala smiles bright
Abstract vision delight
Winter’s nose a sight

So You Had to Ask or

Posted on April 16, 2014 | Leave a comment

Skimming the water, how do we know
How deep or shallow the water is
Without running the risk of vulnerability
Or are we to know only when it’s his

Does Charon always charge for to and fro
If you had to assk for the answer it always burns
Are (S)elected memories of a rich man’s health
The only way to express funneling Wealth..

Hearts can become hard
Winter turns them ice cold blue
Warmth comes with a smile

North wind sings aloft
Snowshoes blend in the background
Molting camouflage

clouds and sun

 

Cloud gives brief respite
Afternoon summer sun’s glare
Light breeze cools my brow

The cost of my love
Is that I will ever be
I give it freely

Crystalline 1

I whisper the curse
The boy’s tragedy remains
Forever instilled

Fate calls the master
The domino must not fall
No harm continued

Pain is the counsel
The man’s tragedy endured
Never repeated
