Life Moves

life
moves
down a path
strange
yet known
like the soft cheek
untouched
but kissed
or the moon
distant
and understood
in the liquid reflecting pools
of the eyes
seen
unseen
seeing
blind
felt
in the dark
shining
through tears
reaching
probing
always
seeking
strangely
known

life
moves

its
juxtapositions
positioned
sublime

A Skewed Haiku

Earth’s rains, unbalanced

caught in men’s blind-justice scales

fat floods top famines

Cherita #14

dissonant chord struck

guitar strings pulled
too tightly

their tension teased
latent teardrops
from the heavy air

An Enduring Haiku #2

deep roots sustain bloom

flower persists in its hue

in tender display

A Rapturous Tanka

deep sanctuary

surrounded by a garden ~

trees, flowers, old books

feasts for passion’s partaking

undone, satiated soul

Quotes #2

The old printing press laughed at me and mocked my technology,

“The novel is still written one letter at a time.”

A Growing Haiku

adventure awaits

step ahead and glance behind

know that I am there
