My husband complained this morning that I never show him my poetry book - he's not allowed to look. So, I thought I'd throw him a bone and actually post for all the world to see a poem I wrote for him a while ago, and three of my first ever attempts at haiku.
For Jeff-
Poetry has fled from me
in light of you
the clear dawn
from bitter winter
into sweet delightful intensity -
because words have become
a languid, tepid vanity
that no longer inspire like you do.
Longing attained
from the corners of my dreams
fears and uncertainties
flee from you
and finally
I am left with an intoxicating silence
that pierces my soul with relief
and joy.
Haiku 1:
memory seeps creaks
open shut rot sweet deep thoughts
a long sigh goodbye
Haiku 2:
two far-flung ships tossed
crash illusions of grandeur
burn sinking covered
Haiku 3:
fear quests longing
pretty eyes pretty teeth hide
behind smiles blinks me
