Haikus on the Way Home (tm)
1 reviewHaikus I wrote while riding the bus home from work. These were written between 2003 and 2005. I haven't written any lately, but usually because I'm writing longer poems.

World passes outside,
Time slipping fast through my fingers
Like water through sand.
*
I wish she were here
Sharing my triumph, that now seems
Hollow happiness.
*
Smiles, laughter and tears;
Photographs and memories;
Past the dust covers.
*
I look and search 'round,
But she doesn't wish to be found.
Beautiful treasure.
*
Tears fade with the wind,
The sun quickens the beating
of a heart just thawed.
*
Last gasp, dying breath.
I call your name, through cold lips
Open, yet soundless.
*
Stars and moon bright white,
Peeking through the darkness black.
Wind howling her name.
*
Grok me? No one can.
I fear I must endure this
Wall of loneliness.
*
Did not hurt seeing
You with him, I just smiled, shrugged...
Wait, vision's blurring.
*
Light wind, ice cold tea,
A gently swaying hammock
Heart at peace... sweet bliss!
*
Words of praise ringing,
What am I still afraid of?
Failure or success?
*
Half crescent cradle,
How comfortable do you seem,
Against black velvet.
*
My heart says to stop,
Though my mind says "Stupid, go!"
I let the fire live.
*
Never saw bluebirds,
Yet with you here, happiness
Simply put, it's true.
*
The chasm between us,
A great expanse, which only
Twin hearts could have bridged.
*
Perfection? Hardly.
But then, even bright silver
Luna has her spots.
*
The moon lights the path,
Shadows flee silver fingers,
A smile embraces me.
*
Sleep, sweet sweet darkness
Wrap me in your velvet cloak
Pamper me with dreams.
*
Are you here, my love?
Are my words, my heart enough?
To earn your soft lips...
Time slipping fast through my fingers
Like water through sand.
*
I wish she were here
Sharing my triumph, that now seems
Hollow happiness.
*
Smiles, laughter and tears;
Photographs and memories;
Past the dust covers.
*
I look and search 'round,
But she doesn't wish to be found.
Beautiful treasure.
*
Tears fade with the wind,
The sun quickens the beating
of a heart just thawed.

Peeking through the darkness black.
