Midnight

Something, anything
The dark void waiting, waiting
Longing in the night

River

Stirring high above
The transient flow; trickling down
Streaming, in the sun

Two

Lovely smiles; so sweet
Angora sweaters; purple, white
Tender exchange

Clocks

Dark mornings; dull skies
Before the clocks twist, distort
Promising dark evenings

Haiku on Haiku

Five stark syllables.
Seven following on line two.
End on a wry five.

Daybreak

Mist covers the valley
Masking distant council houses.
Streets, quiet, empty.

The lingering grey
Slowly, so slowly, brighting.
Promising dampness.

Pensive

The world, closing in.
Pensive, fraught, that's what she felt.
And then, maybe... nothing...

Morning Haiku

This morning Haiku
Started hopeful, expansive
Then ran completely, totally out of control

A Moment

It is not so much,
To wait, to view a vision.
For a brief glimpse,

To lightly hold hands, briefly.
For you so little,
It would mean so much for me.

It is not so much,
To ask, to plead, beg, to hope.
To dream again, soon,

Of crushing the tears inside.
For you so easy,
For me, alone, impossible.

A moment of your time,
The most precious thing of all.
Is it not so much?

Disappearance

Earth's free Millennia
The Origin of Species
Evolution rife

We emerged
Mankind now rampant
Conquering

War
Pollution
Death

Gone

View

Outside my window
a modest patch of grass
rough cut; weed ridden.

Through this a slab path
dark grey from the night dampness
to two bungalows.

Together

Powdery blue, white, shielded denim, the blond energetic, ecstatic, how could you, joyous
They're together, the rapture

A sight so wondrous
Watching, stunned, enthralled
To dream, to touch, then...

Bright red, thin black, shining flowery silk, the black responding, enthusiastic, so amazing, brilliant
They're together, the rapture

Beautiful vision
Watching, staring, mesmerised
To dream, to touch, then...

Autumnal

Looking out, hidden:

The final flourish,
Late summer sunshine fading.
Wind, gusty, colder.

The old oak, sways, majestic.

The sky greying; light rain.
Reflected off window tops,
Pink distant sunshine.

Leafs near cascading.
