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

Love Haiku 4:6

Love Haiku 4:6

1

still the tender gaze
after a thousand winters
eternal springtime

2

i walk in twilight
the rain and wind pelt my face
your footsteps draw near

3

your love the fragrance,
scarlet blood upon the rose
life everlasting

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

Come Back to the Garden

Come Back to the Garden

Come back to the garden
you have forgotten
after moments have passed
innumerable
as the evening stars —

behold:
the tear-drenched ebony loam
blossomed into clouds
of fragrant peonies,
fallen lilac petals
awakened
topaz and amethyst lilies —

Come back to the garden
you have forgotten
there you will find me
gathering the flowers.

Winter Haiku 11:14

Winter Haiku 11:14

11
frozen twigs lie low
gray fox roams the winter fields
the hungry squirrel

12
silence grows louder
the desolate lily pond
croaking toad has left

13
i  heard your laughter
at night the light of your face
heart bleeds in the snow

14
a thousand journeys
through hills and icy rivers
to hold your warm hand
