silent predator
slithering into my heart
eating me alive
Tag haiku
Void
I feel the void that
Threatens to suck me into
Its dark nothingness
Twilight
Mystery of night
Intersecting day, light dims –
I drink it all in
Falling Leaves
I begged him to stay
He declined and walked away:
Falling leaves scatter
Voices
My nightmares echo
Voices of loved ones buried:
They are gone but live
Flame
I dreamt of past loves
As though they were still alive:
A flame still flickers
Being Alive
I woke up and breathed
That gentle first breath of life:
I am still alive
Heat Wave
scorching heat wave broke
As the clouds cried victory –
earth sighed with relief
Giant
Fingerprints finely
Sketched on paper thin canvas,
Giant golden leaf
Rose Buds
Beauty for a day,
Promises for tomorrow –
Captured in the bud.
