Redo: Glimpses

[Editor’s note: The original “Glimpses” was syllable too long. So, here is the haiku again. This time trimmed by a syllable.]

At the water’s edge,
Echoes whisper my longing.
My heart holds your face.

Glimpses

At the water’s edge,
Echoes whisper my longing.
My heart glimpses your face.

Separated lovers

The sky greets the night, /
light separated lovers: /
you, me, time, and stars.

Sublime madness

One must live in love’s
embrace in order to feel
its sublime madness.

Thirteen is a lonely number

I hardly know ya, /
Triskaidekaphobia. /
Afraid to hold ya. /

Joe Friday, detective

It's Friday, Friday the Thirteenth. Just the facts, ma,am.

I have just told ya, /
Triskaidekaphobia. /
I hardly know ya. /

Just the facts, you say, /
Triskaidekaphobia./
Will make you go away. /

But you’re here to stay. /
triskaidekaphobia. /
For the entire day. /

So I might just play, /
Triskaidekaphobia. /
On this fine Friday: /
Triskaidekaphobia

The embrace

Embrace my failures /
They are constant companions /
in need of my love.

Rain / blooms

Rain reaches down. Sky /
lightens up. In between hopes /
my umbrella blooms.

Touching Nature

Touch Nature

Top of young tree broken by human hand just leaves are budding out.

Touch Nature’s beauty;
even the hand that twists the
tree free of its growth.
