Famished poem…
in the moonlight
her almond-flower skin
skyward heaving
a breathless sigh

All my ink…
dewdrops rolling
along her skin,
etched veins flooding
with liquid bolts of light.
Haiku # 209
Morning star…
in the eye of silence
a white flower
~
By the old mill
the dying larva
became a butterfly
~
First summer days…
how quickly life flows,
withering spring flower
~
Casting her face
a cover over the world…
sun at dawn
Tanka # 38
Misted seas,
on dark wings
a lone bird flying…
no shore ahead
to echo his call
Senryu # 120
Honing the night
into a lightning of stars…
her dark eyebrows
~
All the stars…
fireflies swarming
in the sea
of her eyes
~
His touch
on her skin…
a forest in flames
Tanka # 37
Below her armpit,
on her ribcage
he engraved a poem
the stars alone can read,
only the silent lips of dawn.
~
The swell
of their passion…
the nightsky rent
to a crumbling heap,
a liquid sea of stars.
Tanka # 36
Lowering her hips
onto his seething flame,
the lubricated pierce
rippling in waves
through their merging bodies
