Mend

Haiku Horizons -Mend

nothing else can mend
the brokenness inside of me
only you above


_____

early summer
fence mending abandoned
to nest of robins

Lock

haiku Horizons - Lock

within the pages
tied with yellowed ribbon
a lock of fair hair

~~~

a lock of hair
scandalously bestow
to secret lover

Wave

haiku Horizons -Wave

a wave of sadness
flows across my garden
news of her death



near the horizon
beyond the white capped wave
a pod of dolphin

Remember

Haiku Horizon prompt - Remember

I still remember
the sweet scent
of her perfume

in the garden

a memorial bench
and your moonflowers

Skip

Match

the match over

in the blink of an eye

dreams fade

Run

Haiku Horizon's : Run

racing barefoot

across the fields

windblown kisses

~~~

holding a red string

running down the street

garbage bag kite

brother laughs

trying to keep up

steppes/ steps

before us

these endless steppes
leading nowhere

silently
the night
falls

~~~

morning/mourning

waiting -
this endless morning
will it ever pass

~~~

flocks/ phlox

the hillside
covered  in
white flocks

after the sail -
wind blows
us home

~~~

sun/son

glorious sun
rises quickly -
such a gem

Cat

from beneath the pines
a monster pounces

the cat naps
in the filtered sunlight
shining on the bed

Salt

Haiku Horizons -salt

the salt of her tears
still on his tongue
as he walks away

Past

Haiku Horizons prompt "past"

on a moonlit night

a shadow goes past the moon

a screech owl searching

in the garden

past the rusty trellis

a wrens nest

~~~

indian summer

I think of our brief past

slipping away
