she spoke of us
what we have is her and I
does she know?
young night
old habits
sad hearts
i wandered to your light
you guided me out of darkness
we follow the fireflies
snow covers your hair
four footprints behind us
you led me through
a maze
what direction is your heart?
i follow your touch
you lead me to a fire
blankets dropped
we are consumed by the flame
nothing
reborn
touch
sleep
dream
morning light
brioche and coffee

moon
an ancient teacher who enlightens us
can we remember his lessons?
wisdom in a mirror
teacher’s writings
moon glows
moon reflects sun
one illumination
love reflects life reflects love
infinite illumination
moon robs colors
sun reveals colors but burns
insight requires caution
Ancient Traveler
ancient traveler
sees the low red sun crying
embracing the sky
he quietly guides the rain
full moon over an old bridge
the traveler stands at the foot
he is of both lands
cold light touches all
weary traveler
waits for his home
to arrive
Haiku
her heart was poetry
but his muse had left him cold
blank sheet of paper
clear skies disappeared
as the dark rain clouds rolled in
crow seeks clarity
i painted your lips
but I could not draw it right
there is no birdsong
he exited home
which became a house of tears
she built a high dam
you don’t believe me
i declared my heart is yours
captcha proves my love
Short poems
we chased summer away
pushed shadows aside
pulled stars into our eyes
now autumn is ready for us
autumn breeze
her auburn hair moves gently
red maple leaf falls slowly
november misty night
holding hands in the fog
we can never get lost
ten thousand miles away
she whispers my name
I see her face in the stars
ship to shore radio
her voice sounds distant
her fragrance lingers on
dock meeting
sea air
hearing I love you over the gulls
footsteps echo
outside table
white wine
strawberries
short walk
small staircase
we become our
Short poems
your pouting face
melts my heart…
how do I put it back?
drumming
walking
holy woman
buying groceries
hot words
warm look
cool feel
you lie
we untouch
I walk
bird sings
flower blooms
in movie
asteroid overhead
grey traveler has no home…
visit, but please don’t stay
your angry lips
burn my eyes…
gold melts
Short poems
moonlight on a wooden bridge over a dry stream
she wears a white dress…
he waits for rain
their love
miles away
hearts hear
foghorn
love is near
she spoke with her lips
and made no sound
she stopped for coffee
and saw them together…
two dark raging storms collided overhead…
he found shelter away from his heart
he is missing love
but looks only in the light
Short poems
man rides horse
horse knows man
man does not know himself
clear sky
ocean sand
warm bread
white wine
gentle surf
sunset picnic
autumn river
ripe apple
red wine
your lips
desert sky
cold night
still air
raindrop brushes my cheek
Short poems
Cold night, old man carries wood
Red dawn, wood carries old man
High sun, heads bow
Sirus rises
Venus sets
Dogs howl
warm bread
hearth fire
your eyes
Foolish man turns around, sees the same
Wise man stays still, sees the difference
harvest day
crow feeds
man gathers the leavings
