Let me disappear
In your eyes

If I speak softly
It is against the roar
Of my mind
2/22/2022 – a haiku
Let me sail away
Toward unknown horizons
That I might meet them

I lost a quiet thing that once I held
A peace in purpose once worn ’round my neck
Now restless do I wander seeking it
To fill the void that’s opened in me __

I wandered into
A page
And found there a promise
Of life
Of beauty
Of love
And so did I dive deeper
Till I found them

As Old Man Winter blows his hoary breath
Upon all that is green and bright, I see
How he must relish in the warmth’s quick death
How petty and cantankerous is he
2/17/2022 – a haiku
To create is pure
So long as you’re creating
Art for its own sake

Would that my soul
Could ever be as free
As it is
Amidst music
2/15/2022 – a haiku
What truth can be found
In a place bereft of it
Where lies are language?
Sonnet 15
Five years we’ve walked beside each other now
And still a fire is kindled in our wake
Still cling do we to our most solemn vow
And hand in hand each of our steps we take
Would that I could relive each of the days
The best of them, and then the worst as well
So long as in each one there was your gaze
Into the depths of which I often fell
Alas that we must trudge so quickly forth
Into the dark unknown of future’s grip
But then, uncertainty, too, has its worth
And you are ever there to right the ship
For if we have to face that wide unknown
I’m glad to do it with the love we’ve grown
