Icy

Weeds

out to lunch

chewing the curd
to a liquid where it's swallowed--
becoming absorbed

For the Love of Lily

The lily bloomed, lured
by the charm of the first star--
I had yet to wake

11 more Haikus to see you through...

1. the gentle rain rolled
down subtle cheeks in disguise--
quieting her sobs

2. picking up the phone
I listen to the dial tone
hello's are so hard

3. when the sun rose
he was absolutely gorgeous --
he wasn't awake

4. drops of dew reflect
grey skies on the bronzed roof roost--
the birds sing freely

5. beneath naked trees
the rain puddles into mud
masking dreams of spring

6. taking a deep breath
filling up on the 'what ifs'
she coughs violently

7. Blind Assumptions

nobody questions
my gender or my race -- HA!
I'm none of those things

8. battery charge drops
dead phone calls like a lost love
the silence screams sobs

9. December comes home
like a summer storm in May--
thinking about her...

10. there isn't a glue
that can fix a camel's back--
straw hats are flimsy

11. chills run up my spine
I can't stop thinking of you--
a horn on my knee

I Love HaikU

Fall Out

the liquor soaked tongue
gushes from her every pore;
winter's reflection

----------------------------------

one tiny tear
a globe of life's reflection;
rain ponds in fallen leaves

-----------------------------------

clouds parted the moon's
light caressing the night sky--
mid-night dreams of you

-----------------------------------

Dearest Tomorrow,

Life sure is complicated,

send more chocolate!

-----------------------------------

she waits for midnight

to kick off the glass slippers--

fairy tale ending

-----------------------------------

chills run up my spine

I can't stop thinking of you--

a horn on my knee

-----------------------------------

the red rubber ball

bounces all around my head--

she plays lots of games

(this last one was inspired by Paul Simon's song
Red Rubber Ball; sung by both The Cyrkle and Neil Diamond)

Three more...

parallel's

children screaming with
laughter catching waves--
summertime in Palestine
-----------------------------

Fall Out

the liquor soaked tongue
gushes from her every pore;
winter's reflection
--------------------------------

Hope In A Bottle

tonight, old movies
and a pint of beer-
tomorrow's forecast, no rain

#13 and #14, Respectively

this morning I woke
sobbing from a dream,
the streets are soaked with puddles

--------------------------------

the willow tree weeps
with the wistful girl, waiting
secretly beneath

Two Lumps, No Sugar

falling in love at
the coffee table where the
coffee always runs out

2 reflections:

burnt out lovers lay
together for the last time;
until tomorrow
--------------------------------------------
Syria at war
lost in the gore of power
mirrors reflect truth

fall

summer sun leaves fall
September has come to call
my phone never rings

tempting

"I'm hungry," I said.
"Go eat breakfast," you answered.
Your smile pulled me in

love call

the cat's meow cries
softly in the night--waiting
for her to come home

This morning, outside

running in the sun
earthy aroma offends--
hot horse flies flustered
----------------------------
nature sings loudly
on this late August morning
absentmindedly

Buzzed

in the light of a
blue citronella candle--
your beauty bugs me

Soothing

broken shells
make sandy beaches
waves comfort

Suggestive

the key on my chest
rattles with excitement at
thoughts of you and me

the end...

The sun rises, and
it always sets-- today I
finally woke up.

A Thing or Two

tomorrow at dusk
I won't be your wife because
playing is more fun
than doing dirty laundry

Bottled Up

The glass is always
without a drop of liquor--
yet, I remain drunk
in the absence of your gaze.
