Momentary Blooms

Momentary Blooms

Are there memories
senseless
to logical sentiments,
written off as never-
happenstance hypotheses
by mountain goat-bearded
wise sages —

why then
do rainbow whirlwinds
hover over peripheries
of my befuddled mind,
radiate
in the recessive
penumbra
of my tranquil heart —

thoughts of loves
long forgotten
momentarily bloom
like purple
crocus petals
on the frigid soil
of weather-beaten
March gardens —

why then
do they disappear
in April.

Love Haiku 7:9

Love Haiku 7:9

7

my forgotten love
at dawn the light of your smile
your voice calls my name

8

once upon a time
our laughter rustled the leaves
autumn glow splendor

9

another springtime
blossoms in the lost meadow
where first i found you

Spring Song

Spring Song

suddenly daffodils,
tulip green lapels
under morning sunlight:

songbirds alight
leafless branches
bursting 
with tender tree-buds —

can you hear the voice
of the turtle dove?

my heart pirouettes
with gladness
because the promise remains
unbroken:

morning joy comes
after nighttime
weeping

winter’s dark despair 
once again
births a million
almond blossoms.

Love Haiku 1:3

Love Haiku 1:3

1

time of plum blossoms
you hold my hand as we stroll
fragrance fills the air

2

love letter arrives
so many moons I waited
bamboo leaves quiver

3

you cast a pebble
a ripple born in waters
drowns in blue ocean
