The experience of finding your true love, your counter-part, can be exhilarating, exasperating, exhausting, exulting, exciting, and without exaggerating excruciating. Especially when circumstances dictate that you simply have no way of being with each other.

Whilst on a Train I dropped into the Poet’s reverie, ruminating on the nature of Pain.  Still mulling over the Marine Corp Hymn I decided to freeze the pain into snowflakes; fragile, perfectly formed poems.  The thought of turning tears/pain into beautiful snowflakes was compelling and actually did help.  I hope you enjoy the mini-blizzard.

Energies swirl, dance / enjoyment and fear combine / we swim deep waters #haiku

Daybreak, warmth of sun / flowers, bees drawn in worship / your smile, my dawn #haiku

Your inner beauty / calls me, drawing me deeper / forget words, open, “be” #haiku

Little tugs, heart aches / small silken threads softly spun / bridging you and me #haiku

Cannot catch my breath / people STARE, startled, Alarmed / then laugh as I smile #haiku

Lingering smiles / soft touches of love, home hearth / my friends watch ammused #haiku

LOOK ME IN THE EYES / see my tears? The raw aching? / for you, for our life #haiku

You, you melt my heart / we take each other places / magical and meant #haiku

She needs pixie dust / sprinkled with care, affection / random notes of Love #haiku

And just like that / pain, sadness evaporate / Eyes closed to see you #haiku

It is so strange / to be here in this World / waiting for elsewhere #haiku

Picking Memories / Kalidescopic click click / your smile, perfect! Joy #haiku

She asks how can I / how can I laugh? or sing? / looking deeper, Love #haiku

My heart in pieces / Bravest face firmly fixed / Be gentle today #haiku

Pain is simple / The trick is to breath deeper / open to God, your Joy #haiku

Forgive me Love / these shuddering waves of doubt / of you I have none #haiku

Your eyes are magic / drawing me infinitely / joyfully deeper #haiku

I will do anything / to make you smile & laugh / Your laughter heals me #haiku

She shakes her head / “never fall in love with a poet” / darling? are you in love?! / he runs / to write some more #5lines

Yes I’m Blind / head down and oblivious / writing her my heart #haiku

And so I wait / a task I do not do well / time laughs at me ;) #haiku

You know who you are / just as I see you darling / it’s enough to know #haiku

Beauty found / words laced with care, love, and Joy / love how she writes #haiku

Memories shifting / that one touch, fingers to neck / lip bleeds from biting #haiku

Calming inside / dropping into memories / home now with you… #haiku

I will wait for you / this life or into the next / my soul, bound to yours #haiku
