Hurricane




Hurricane

here, drips and drizzles
falling into summer's heat
there, destruction reigns

Candlelight (haiku)


Candlelight

candlelight ablaze
like oceans of loving light
an altar's comfort

Some Days




Some Days

Some days I can't crack a smile:
Life's too tough, it's been a while
Since I felt my face reveal a smile.

Some days I'm too tired to think:
I almost wish I took to drink,
Some drunks smile, though some just stink.

When smiles won't come I close my eyes:
I picture eyes as blue as skies,
Their laughter and hugs - no compromise.

Before I know it, I feel a grin
Stretching from my hair to chin
As a smile comes: I begin again.

Lightning (haiku)



Lightning

a silent crash falls
down from humid dark clouds
slash of tomorrow

Queen Mystery


Queen Mystery

Deep in her Heart, her Mystery,
ever Strong and True,
unbending Oak, a Lionheart,
like a Phantom's Muse;

Deep in her Heart, her Mystery
has forged an Iron Will:
that Beauty's Grace cannot erase
nor Evil ever still.
