Awakening Sun Red
channel thru crystal aperture
spherical rainbows

Petulant cry
Outside a branded shop
Toddler demands
The familiar warmth of

# Haiku
Rounding the bend
Of a sine curved sealink
Assault salty breeze
...

Precariously hanging over
delicately crafted cleft of
peach and satin shoulders
the gossamer light white robe
...

A tryst with you in Sin

I wish for that indescribable feeling
blowing a delicate pink over my skin
...

there is something inevitable about the rain
not the kind that comes light & powdery as baby showers
but the kind that comes as an outpouring from the heavens
overwhelming in it's feriocity
...

You are the light of our lives, dear Papa
And you know how afraid I am
of the dark
Always seeking refuge in the brilliance
...

Today it feels like the ocean brimmeths over
in shades of an unwashed olive and opaque teal
the grey waters all turbid with discontent
leap at a spent pock marked bay
...

Jilted

To feel your warm fuzziness
Wrapped all around me
...

I planned to Run and set the trail on fire
In my mind I jooged, the tracks shook
In reality my body resisted and I crawled
Every bit of me protested, shook and quaked!
