Love
the smile on your lips
reaches deep into your eyes
and into my heart
–
darkness-
reaching out
for your hand

Realizations
I’ve struggled so long
stumbling through the darkness
blinded by the truth
–
awakening-
the light of
a false dawn
Luna
weaver of moonlight
roses follow her footsteps
wherever she roams
–
asleep-
walking with
an absent moon
Lake
misty morning run-
lake water rolls off the bow
oars dipping in sync
–
fingers entwined-
a light rain
ripples
Rising
staying up all night
just to fall asleep with you
and the breaking dawn
–
frogs in the trees-
rising woodsmoke
staining the sunset
Reflection
it’s not who I am
this someone in the mirror
but who I became
–
a placid lake-
the moon’s watery
countenance
Sleep
a blanket of clouds
pulled up tight over my head
shutting out the day
–
morning song-
the reluctance
of wakefulness
Delusions
the girl of my dreams
or maybe just one of my
hallucinations
–
freshly cut grass-
watching the clouds
transform
Irony
weeping cherry trees-
a wistful gaze through windows
that never open
–
budding branches-
a cockatoo’s
clipped wings
Broken
the marquee of dreams
in the theatre of my mind
ripe with false promise
–
summer rain-
the blind
desert sands
