Love Haiku 37:39
37
soft wind rustles leaves
dance of downy white feathers
your hands hold my heart.
38
indigo waters
the deep i cannot fathom
your strength my anchor.
39
water lilies bloom
pink and ivory petals
your smile my delight.

April
Here you come once again
with your delicate rains:
petals break forth like the rainbow
while scarlet-breasted robins
alight
upon the thickening carpet
of emerald grass —
You perplex me so:
warm and cold,
endearing and aloof,
the way long-forgotten loves
drove me to the very edge
of madness —
O April,
enshroud me in the intimacy
of your mysteries,
then will I comprehend the reason
for the ethereal blossoms
fragrant
in the month of May.

Love Haiku 31:33
31
asleep beside me
peaceful as a joyful lamb
songs of jade meadow
32
moonbeams and starlight
white petals turn lavender
your voice calls my name
33
spring tide and neap tide
the ocean breathes with the moon
your heart beats with mine

1
flock of geese in flight
black petals against the sky
can you hear their call
on a sunset in winter
discordant harmonicas
2
trees in winter’s sun
cast long afternoon shadows
snow on their branches
wingéd angels garbed in white
singing praise in high places
