Age (haiku)

Age

youth cannot see it
blinded by today's passions
horizon shimmers

"Spring Pollen" tanka

Spring Pollen

as goldenrod drifts

flowering trees shed petals

all softly floating

a sweet-scented Spring blanket ~

like you, suffocating me

burdens like baggage so heavily weigh ~
she sighs ~ with each forward step, through each day.

Memories of You

Like gray raindrops
falling softly through my willow leaves
your memory
slips through my secret soul's fortressed walls.

Like a rosebud
blooming in May's breezy sunshine
your memory
so sweetly lingers in my heart.
