Triple Haiku for 2025 [No.1. ❤ Love’s ❤ Revolt ❤]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the world weeps: enough!

set Palestine’s people free

 love’s the only way

stokers of hate’s fire

tried to bury love’s dissent

but buried good seed

we’re now growing strong

our shoots dance in winds of change

love, bring Spring’s revolt!

Listening For Change

This poem is about a society increasingly divided, where accusations fly and truth seems lost. It speaks to the urgency of listening instead of blaming, understanding instead of judging, and choosing hope over fear. In a world where opinions are quickly voiced and emotions run high, the poem urges a shift in perspective—one that values connection, love, and the strength to find hope, even in diffi...

Write me

Write me with your ink on my body,
and the calligraphy of your lips

Make my back a canvas where your heartbeat dwells, 
and let each touch awaken
the echo of the beloved

Write me without words,
without voice, let your hands be the language
and the silence our verse

Let your breath be the spark that ignites the night,
and the fire that marks my flesh,
be memory of your touch

Let ...

Love at an AA meeting.

 

You were standing, coffee steaming 

Misty-eyed in melancholic dreaming 

My heart beating

Your smile, like the breaking of a new dawn 

I stood  forlorn 

My sobriety, a long road of intention

To my ascension 

Our eyes collided, my heart dancing

Entrancing 

My feet had strayed no further than my hometown 

The local clown

Though in my head I'd travelled far & wide...

Love

The Now of Every Tomorrow

Just for today, life is gentle
And every moment is a song
In the glow of the moon, in the afternoon breeze
Everything is a secret, but everything is reason

With each step, what can I be?
In the field of time, flowers grow
Only the now, the rest is mist
Just for today, love is a star shining

Ah, if I could keep
The sound of the wind, the taste of color
Everything would be so simple, s...

Hanging

I remember everything, even the type of ring you wanted.

The type of things most would've forgotten.

I was there listening, came through with everything I promised.

That's knowledge for you.

That’s knowledge for you.

You were my favorite subject and I passed all those classes plus I’d hang right after school.

Always hanging onto you, but now we let go and I can’t hang to an excus...

Beautiful and Cursed

It was no longer the body I saw
It was the emptiness of its lines
the silence that stretched like an endless night
a night in which beauty is lost
what is cursed
as if beauty were a lie
and the curse, perhaps, a form of love

I saw their gaze, the beautiful and the cursed
not with my eyes, but with absence
Because who feels sees through what’s unsaid
through what dissolves in the words ...

Now and Forever

Now and Forever

 

Barely detectable to those in the vicinity.

A nudge to the conscience at most.

Perhaps it was a glitch in the matrix,

Or an insignificant memory lapse.

She was compassionate and vaguely familiar,

But her name escaped him for now.

 

She gazed into his pale blue eyes,

Recalling the moment they first met her own.

An instant connection she thought wou...
