like the ocean waves
that which comes crashing down
must rise up again
peace begins within
haikus written on a rain soaked bench
teardrops
all the love in
the world can’t stop
the rain
to one who finds stillness
in stillness, the breath
seduces the body to
sweetly surrender
flowers
a sunny afternoon,
a dazzling free fall.
flowers offered after the fact.
october thoughts
It wasn’t a matter of
letting go.
On a different path,
you’re still in my heart.
why bother
even if I ask
he’ll give me
nothing
Poem: farewell kiss
All at once
with her mind’s eye
she sees
through
resounding light,
her whole life.
Every breath,
each beat of her
heart.
The what ifs
and the should
have beens

in a farewell kiss.
For finally
she has learned
to live
most
intentionally,
most
unapologetically,
here
and
now.

I can taste your colours
they’re melting on my tongue
as I melt into you
