time poem #?

time elusive - a great circle
with arms, invented by us
i guess so we could get farming right?

then we decided to save daylight and time
and really confuse ourselves

now I wonder
where does time go?

a good-bye poem

she has not fully woken up this morning
nor does she on most
her brain thrives on mis-matched socks,
ripped sheets, and a three o'clock wake up

she will make her fuzzy way through this day
and the next
remembering sleep,
a once cherished ally that has now fallen
into an infinite sea of mother hood
where it should truly be forgotten

her haiku #1

whisper in his ear
at rest in her waist's soft curve
his will disappears

mutterings of a quiet girl

keep things in order
neatly stack the plates so
that they don't fly
off the shelves
and crack

the cabinet door is
stuck and so instead
of a forceful grasp
i gently convince it
with a light touch
to open,
as if it were a
bouncer I flirt with
so that I can get in

dragon haiku #1

fire surrounds me
on top of a dragon's wing
the world below shrinks

star haiku (22 or so)

the stars are waiting
alone,they shine together
hoping for a wish

I will haiku

my will colossal
boulders shift as I approach
to let in the light

rain (tanka)

the drizzle drains off
a light coat of sidewalk grime
the tear at the end
of her eyelid slips in a
puddle, becomes a rainbow

2 haiku

she is a lighthouse
the storm below her passes
her eyes are the sun

if she is too bright
avert your eyes and allow
her to help you see

haiku # i'm not sure!

Life is beautiful dandelion puffs in air we all make wishes

earth traveler

I am a traveler in a rocket ship
sometimes i escape to the sky
or propel myself into a deep cavern

as I tunnel through the dark, dank ground
i do not think of light, or or tomorrow-
only where will I end up once I am too
tired to keep digging

and then I remember I have  a rocket ship

haiku

Our moments are stars
Are cloud shapes we imagine
Are ours to cherish

my reader

in me there
are unsaid words
linked together
that are
poetry
to one person
that somewhere exists
and waits
to hear what will come next

I hope it is you

another poem about stars

a dream is a star
that waits in the sky
for you to reach up,

and carry it down
where it too
may live

alongside you

and become real

the me haiku

I am adventure
the top of a dark mountain
immersed in the stars

in closing

in closing my friend
let us share our light freely
our hearts holding hands

?

i have not the words
to speak, stuck
and speechless as I
ponder what you said

there is never a good reason
to speak in drunken tongues
illogical arguments stained
by vodka's dispostion

changeable like a billboard
you decide to advertise
yourself as practical, caring even
but when torn down,
all that's left is the metal
shell of a damaged soul

irrevocably broken, a sinister
cracked version of what could
have been a real man 

the wind's call

i breathe your name out
in time with the wind's whisper
so you will catch me

in time

are we in time for
this moment that we have built
with precious seconds

Poem for the Paradox Poet

Oscar Wilde wrote, "I can resist anything but temptation."

i am tempted to restrain myself
and tempted to dive in
to this luscious life

i swim on dry land, and do not expect
to be bitten, but I need the bite to remind me
I am alive, I am mortal

except sometimes I am invincible

like on those days that I wake up
and the coffee has already been made
perfectly

the traffic is clear, I arrive early
the computers do not work
and so work is closed and
we're all like, "snow day!"

on those days I forget destiny,
and become life

i am cake

i woke up
this morning
with a glow

because I see beauty
in the star-shaped cracks
in the sidewalk

sunglasses that float
through the clouds

the damaged beauty
of the girl that has recovered
finally
from adolescence

has renounced adulthood
in favor of the child inside
that knows that each second
is something to savor,
a quiet bite of warm cake
that becomes more delicious
when broken into tiny
bites that melt into each other

Affirmative haiku

We are the beauty 

That we allow before us

The magic of now

earth's prayer

i revolve around
my heart
like a sun

i keep you warm
let you shine

help you grow
along... and up

and we both dance
atop a cumulus cloud
wondering at
what is
             down
                                up
grateful for what is

i worship, her
the sun, and she
carries my
torch - the bursting
flame that makes
each day an
eternal moment

a purpose

i am a vessel
to diffuse light particles
and lighten the world
