Why, when the sun is gone
And the world quiets
And the shadows
Take over
Does my heart slow
My breath soften
To be at last
In your arms?

12/28/2021 – a haiku
If you were a book
I would drink up your pages
Each a thousand times
12/27/2021
To walk through quiet air and cool, soft snow
And hold you close to keep the cold away
To see the far horizon and just go
With you beneath the light of winter’s day

I cannot wait, I cannot bear
The distance ‘twixt our hearts
The thousand miles of windy air
Reduces me to parts
But soon I know you will return
And all be set aright
And all within me once more burn
For you this blessed night

A ship without sail
A beach without waves
A tree without root
A man without his heart
Such am I, till your return
12/15/2021 – missing
I long for your arms
Soft and warm
Wrapped around me
I long for your presence
Bright
A wind in the air
Deadened when you are gone
I long for the way
The sky shines brighter
The world spins faster
The music plays louder
When you are beside me
So shall I pine for it
Till you return

Outside a fierce wind blows
And whistles through the trees
And cool descends upon the earth
With otherworldly ease
But here I sit in quiet
With warmth not far from me
For in your arms there’s peace untold
And from the chill I’m free

There is so much that I could say
Of thine deep, wisest eyes
But most that they bring forth the day:
Wherefore the sun doth rise?
Eyes, fathoms deep, and wise.
10/26/2021 – a haiku
Your lips against mine
My breathing feels fuller now
My heartbeat quickens
10/16/2021 – a haiku
Like sweetest honey
The air after a spring rain
Are your lips to me
