"7"autumn haiku

autumn—red and gold her dress a prier—crumpling rose trees bare—interlock Emerging from ice and snow—a white swan—appears “abject moon—thy sorrow”

Turkey dinner

He wraps his hands around her throat: A candle about to die Black feathers in hand, almost smote; With daggers bloody goodbye. Then like a male she droop wings But not in courtship display.

Love has its damage

Love has its damage Like a car fender—gets bent. And, headlights blink! And disagree which is the way Ahead: Love is a road of new dawns And midnight folks—

When love goes south of the boarder…

If I could catch you tears before there fall Sweep away anguish as I did before Dive and swim, within, your heart forestall I’d happily drown each and every sorrow.
