Discarded
All the containers
we discard as we discard
the humans we love
Unloved, no longer useful
Sad and alone in landfill

Dying Leaves
The wild dying leaves
Contemplating the ending
Departing Autumn
Persimmon Dawn
Gloves of wool
a beanie with flying cats
layers of clothing
A Mugachino
startled frost-covered grass
breath shapes
The Winter dawn
Persimmon and soft blue layers
many birds sing
Morning dance
coffee smells mix with the dawn
rolling on the frost
A Saltwater Love
All or nothing was the lesson;
a love rush blinded my equilibrium
You said to wait a while for love.
So many tides move, and the sea
whispers of the past and the future.
I learnt my lesson with your love.
Yet, the never ending wonder,
will you return to me?
Standing on the sand alone,
the sea whispers new words today.
A kiss on the cheek,
you’re lucky I’m so old;
becoming saltwater with you.
Favourite Tree
You cried on the inside
when they cut your childhood
tree down for the fire.
You met her in nature,
a beautiful tree, you thought,
swaying in the forest.
Then you drew her in
charcoal on fine parchment,
for everything about her
was your favourite tree.
Walking to Work
a sun melody
different leaf shades
moody trees
dancing leaves
different dying shades
winter kisses
a strong gust
reds, yellows, and Olivine
playful trees
a bird song
rubbish moving in the wind
winter hugs
The Forgotten Dragon
From a forgotten forest
at first, a whisper of wolves
and longing for the sea
Taken from the office
transported to a world of snow
and a tyrannical sheep
Staring at the Timberwolf walls
the wolves howl for you to save the pack
and be a dragon once more
Bordeaux Kiss
Summer heat
the sea and the sand
something
sweet to eat
while watching the world
and dreaming
of those lips
a Bordeaux watermelon
laced kiss
with strawberry
and cream hues of winter
about those hips
Umber Dance
forbidden fruit
sinful dancing
hips moving
exotic music
azure sky
ochre sun
umber dress
closer now
red hair falling
warm air moving
many bangles
eyes of green
moving to the music
the Emperor’s kiss
Cupid Haiku
naughty sweet cupid
shooting off love filled arrows
hitting all the cats
