A Haiku ... Enslaved

I saw her standing 

on the stairs.  

Her eyes,

enslaved me forever.

A Poem ... Exhausted Soul

Exhausted Soul

White page

Empty dream

Gilded cage

Heavy beam

Sparrow song

Stumbled flight

Day long

Longer night

Mirrored face

Weathered lines

Barren place

Bitter wines

Slumber calls

Heavy toll

Angel falls

Exhausted soul

A Poem ... This Hill

This Hill

My cousin thinks
I'm an evil man
Would it surprise her
Doing the best I can

Nights of sorrow
Utter despair
Lonely prayers
Fill empty air

Beliefs shattered
Drank it up
Bitter taste
Empty cup

New road
Forward still
Hope waits
Beyond this hill

A Poem ... Not Like This

Not Like This

Strangers visit
Threshold door
Children shiver
Evermore

Modern world
Hollow place
Crowded life
Little space

Carnivores
Running wild
Chaos reigns
Devil child

Fatherhood
Eternal bliss
Tranquil lake
Not like this

A Poem ... Whispered Love

Whispered Love

Dusted white
Silent trees
Floating flakes
Gentle breeze

Ice daggers
On Parade
Dragon teeth
Heaven made

Short days
Longer nights
Bright stars
Northern lights

Snow blanket
Covered ground
Silent birdsong
Not a sound

Ghost breath
Whispered love
Reaches me
From above

A Poem ... Belief

Belief

Wind brushes
Ancient sand
Lonely wanderer
Desolate land

Fervent stride
Leathered face
Forgotten lore
Sacred place 

Knife flashes
Deadly stroke
Offering now
Acrid smoke

Broken hearts
Clerics pray
GOD smiles
Children play
 

A Poem .. Till we meet

Till we meet

Mighty wall
  Stone by stone
Hides the sun
  All alone

True love
  Engulfed in flame
Loneliness, loss
  Utter shame

Devastation
  Salted earth
Agony
  Second birth

Tears fill 
  Every eye
Did she, 
  Have to die?

Treasure
  Memories sweet
Sustenance
  Till we meet
