-
The gentle wisps of fleeting transparencies
Fluttered across my frail moistened lips
-
I caught her looking, across the shelves of dusty books.
She glanced up and caught weak, my searching eyes.
-
Drifting across the glass were silent innocent reflections,
They caught in awakened irises, to be held in retinal reconstructions.
-
I crossed the rivers of inoculated indifference
My soul bleeding sorrow’s fragile dishonest deceptions
-
Apertures closed on distant horizons
Names of connected forgotten realities
-
Moments touch my inner soul
Enrapturing my tender thoughts
-
I await the final thoughts
To be split upon the ideals of others
-
I fell from the tree
clinging to a dry rock face.
-
Where have you been?
I have been searching for you;
-
AGAIN
Doors quietly beckon in knowing solitude,
-
Innocent Mind
In stillness and in grace,
-
Silt
Stepping across collapsing stones,
-
Glacial
Hanging ice-falls
-
Called by falsely chastened winds that called me from bended knee,
I arose in quite supplication to wander on paths strewn with roses.
-
Concrete
Padlocked moments
-
Moments fastened by darkened faltering trust,
Shackle the burdened heart in heavy chains,
-
I cannot capture
the thoughts that run across
-
He let the photograph speak spirited animations
across his fingers and float retinal remembrances across his eyes.
-
In the quiet sleep at Death’s door
I stumbled in stilted frozen fear
-
St. Theresa
I will let fall from heaven

Dandelion Seeds: A Study in Haiku
Braided seeds of time
-
Hope spills across furrowed brows,
turning creases into upswept questions
-
Pretend and pretense waiting for a captured tomorrow.
Feet bouncing casually on life’s fairy tales;
-
I am captured,
anesthetized by stained numbness
-
Echoes in the wind, mock your memory,
Heightened branches break, fallen are the
-
Spirits reign the thrown within thy soul,
Bend the bars that hold you captive
-
Cracked apertures pull tired tear filtered light
from hollow shadows caught in saddened listings.
-
The pilgrimage of my sorrow
beckons clinging wood smoke
-
Grasping
lungs collapsing
-
Tangled memories spill catchments acidly
Across the lines of water marked pages
-
Brushing your warmth across my tension
Dreaming pools of surrendered moments
-
My fingers grasp at wisps of hoarfrost
That cling to my hands
-
I buried the light that laughed
in shattered childish smiles
-
An empty vase holding only broken stems and tired dreams
-
slatted imperfections in my precarious path
