heat lightning slashes
swashbuckling silver daggers
his torrid smile cuts

Persephone's Return
Persephone's Return
Through winter's white, she waits alone
For Persephone's returning,
The wailing wind, a softened moan;
A mother’s yearly yearning.
Through winter's white, she waits alone
For Persephone's returning,
The wailing wind, a softened moan;
A mother’s yearly yearning.

haiku for Organ Donation
(haiku for Organ Donation)
Tragedy visits;
One mother releases:
Miracles arrive.

The Vampyre
The Vampyre
The Vampyre's dangerous darkness
A sweet seduction seems;
A stillness burning passion,
Delicious draught of dreams;
His power overwhelms us,
His glittering eye consumes,
We hear his sweet enchantments,
And eagerly embrace our doom;
The danger doesn't find us
Until it is far too late,
We fall into his sinful spell
And then must live our fate;
Sweet seduction ends, like death,
Yet on we live in pain,
With a burning yearn for blood,
We, shadow'd undead, remain;
Too late, we see the evil,
Too late we taste his lies,
Too late we ceaseless dream,
As Eternity slowly dies;
The Vampyre's dangerous darkness
Seduced us with his charms,
Glory fades with each dawn;
Forever trapped in his arms.

If I Could Travel
If I Could Travel
I'd take a ship across the Sea,
To the place my mother was born,
Beyond the borders of other lands,
To see the sunset, and then the morn;
I'd see the rocks and dirt and trees,
I'd see a small house, and town;
I’d trace her mother's braveries,
Echoes of Alexander's renown;
To see the Church, to see the Lake ~
My vision blurs with tears;
To think they trod upon this ground ~
My journey’d erase the years;
In my hand, I'd hold some earth,
And like an ancient priestess pray,
Whispering words of time and magic ~
Our mitochondrial DNA;
In my dreams, I take that trip
With ease and never a care;
In my dreams, I linger still,
Part of me lives ever there.

Friendship (haiku)
Friendship
arm in arm they stand
like stones in Hadrian’s Wall
keeping secrets shared
arm in arm they stand
like stones in Hadrian’s Wall
keeping secrets shared
