Into and Through

I collapse
Into and through
Myself, these dreams
Both from my mind
And the synaptic demands
Of others.
Mist fades
Upon the other side
Where I find
Myself.

Youth: A Haiku Series

Youth inspires me.
Faces forces intending
On destroying their dreams.

Resisting that force
Believing in their dreamer
Never to wither.

Trust, Fear, Desire

Trust and Tryst
One letter separates. 
Trusting another with deepest 
Longings, dark hidden places. 
Secrets. 

Fearful, afraid of the destructive
Forces of lust, love 
And longing. 
We know the 
Consuming doom
Of expressing 
Desire.

Thinking of the Butterfly

Crawling slowly stills,
Body encompassed by crust.
Transformation lives.

Spring Blurs Into Summer

Spring’s breath
Drifting away,
Fading to memory
Falling, decaying
Flower petals
Subsumed by
Life’s riotous
Vigor.
