Winter Haiku 1:3

stars from sapphire sky
fragrance of jasmine flowers
snow in early dawn
2
sugar-sprayed branches
cardinal alights in snow
my heart a gazelle
3
polka dots of snow
tapestries sewn by the wind
bridal veil of lace

Perchance I would meet you again
this wintry evening
out in numb forgotten fields
of longing,
I would
touch once more the warmth
of your calloused hands,
rest in the snugness
of your tight embrace —
I would
drown in the wine
of your tender eyes,
slumber
in the lullaby
of your gentle voice —
Perchance I would meet you again
this wintry evening,
the silent
white of snow would turn
into summer dew,
parched stalks of grass
into golden daffodils.

Warmth of July
At dusk
while fireflies glow like woven
golden threads upon a cloak
of imperceptible periwinkle,
honeysuckle
intermingles with magnolia
and lavender fragrances —
frogs croak,
intoxicated by beauty
of lotus white blossoms,
join the orchestra of children’s laughter
as barefoot feet
tiptoe
upon crust of earth
and teeming grass —
warmth of July
when for a season’s moment
all is green and ardent
under the ancient sun.
