Daily Haiku - Seventy Eight

Am I alone here

Or a lone "her", too quiet

Too still, yet content

Bright

 

 

--- 

though I am shrouded by the shadows

and I walk in hidden places between gardens and buildings sitting away from the sun

I am bright

---

 

Daydream

 

---

Sun and wind have never suited me

I squint at the bright day sky

Sometimes shut my eyes with my face still turned up

And imagine the patterns of the stars

The lines of dotted light under my eyelids

...

Restless thoughts, restless hands, restless sighs

Until the night finds its way back to me

Daily Haiku - Seventy Seven

The hurt singed, fire

As the well within ran dry

I forgot to cry

Daily Haiku - Seventy Six

Quietly we fall

The screaming air at our backs

And we close our eyes

 

Daily Haiku - Seventy Five

Pictures, answer me

I'm calling these memories

They're before my eyes

Daily Haiku - Seventy Four

Even though I smile

The walls are still closing in

And leave me breathless

Azure

 

---

You're in the water among the waves.

But you are still here.

Here, and still,

the houses asleep

while you dance to disturb their dreams

of oceans and the cities beneath

where shouts are lost to the depth

and the shades of blue

that too, are here, and are still.

Daily Haiku - Seventy Three

Sometimes I lay down

And the bed seems so cold, harsh

Then I think of you

 

Daily Haiku - Seventy Two

Let's just burn the bridge

Connecting our two islands

And swim the river
