Haiku Poems

Wildflower

There among the weeds

Your beauty stands all alone

A promise of life

Thoughts of you...

Gray and purple hues

Paint the landscape anew

Lost in thoughts of you

Rain

The soft tap of rain

Falling upon the window

Soothe my weary soul

Still... I wait

The days are so long

The nights go by too quickly

Still... I wait for you

Hope

Against the current

Into your heart, I will swim

With caution and hope

Follow Your Heart

The heart will always

lead to your chosen path, 

but first, first- you must 

be willing... to read the map

For there are many twists 

and turns along the way,

sometimes, just sometimes,

it may seem- 

The heart led astray, away from

our dreams, but stay the course, 

know what's true, follow your

heart, for it leads to you...

Only a Dream

You...

My sweet reverie

were, but a fleeting

dream in which

To pass the time,

To ease my sorrow

To free my mind

In the beginning,

I imagined your

face, your voice,

your knowing touch

Always, I smiled

at the thoughts of you

Soon, my soul

renewed in love

No longer wished

upon the stars above

For dream and reality

seemed never to part

As feelings of joy

embraced the heart

Alas, your truth

came to be, a 

beautiful awakening

I must see

And, yet, still

I sleep knowing

true...

I cannot escape-

the wonder of you

So, in my reverie

I will abide, until

the day, you're

by my side...

Once I was lost (then I was found)

I was seeking

to be found...

No one was searching

Then you came around

Why did you do that?

Awaken my soul

Why did you do that? 

To only let go...

I was content to 

simply just be...

Then you came around

And set my heart free

Filling my world in hope

with your words

At last, someone got me

I was finally heard

Why did you do that?

Make me believe

Were you seeking too?

Were you searching

for me?

Perhaps, all a moment

A dream never true

Maybe real is the dream

As we now bid adieu

For finally I see

your truth at last

You awakened my soul

To find my path

Once I was lost

I prayed to be found

Once I was seeking

Then you came around

 Thank you...

Poetry

Lost in the shadow of forgotten memories

Found in the light of self- discovery

Journey to the depths of your soul

For only there, will your truth

be shown...

Unrequited Love

A most foolish path

I chose to pursue

As it leads, alas

To nowhere, but you

So in snippet and rhyme

I reach out in word

Hoping you read

I write to be heard

Still, you ignore 

The words so dear

For their meaning 

Resounds...

All too clear

The Story

A dream once imagined,

becomes the story once

foretold...

So beautiful in its essence

So true in its form, left

without end, to begin

once more
