Cusp

Say goodbye
Tonight
Welcome in
The new day
Put the past
To rest
Embrace
The what if
The yet to come
One night
Of sorrow
One night
Of celebration
Goodbye
Yesterdays
Hello
To all
the tomorrows.

Wishful

Dreamt of you
Woke up smiling
Disappointment
Filled the day

Open doors

The doll house sits in the corner of the room. Doors shut, roof down, secrets shut inside. At the windows the wooden faces peer, waiting for someone to see them, to open the door. She comes, full of light, full of imagination. Releases the door, releases the past trapped inside. New life, new hope.

Danger
Slip
Into
Your arms

Laughter
In
The darkness
Pattering of feet
Morning
comes early
Electric air
Time
To start
The day

Haiku 19

Our foreheads pressed close
hands on shoulder, eyes locked tight
together, alone

Cornflour

Cornflour eyes
awash with
sorrow
lost
the spark
the
smile within
colour
fading
spirit waning
watch
you
slowly
drift
away

Pocket

Penned to paper
words for you
scribbles
from
my heart
to yours
fold me up
keep me close
in the pocket
near your heart.

Haiku 18

slowly circling your
palm with my finger, feel
at home, beside you
