Haiku II
 Jan 2015 Tana Young
Emily
Tonight she said,
"Love doesn't die, but people do."

Then I realized
That nothing under the sun
Could take you from me

If the grave took you
I'd never stop loving you
Even if the grave

Took me
This isn't really a haiku

I heard rumors and stories
but I thought that's all they were

I heard it from her

My stomach is in my feet
I can't breathe
My hands won't stop shaking
I feel sick

I swear someone must have socked me in the gut

Pouring salt on old wounds
On top of nostalgia of you

It's all so ridiculous
I'm going to give myself an ulcer
Merry Christmas

A sky so blue
Beatific smile of Sun
Swathes the vastness
Welcoming with open arms
My gleeful heart
Reaches out to the sky
Oh so like the feeling
Joyous jig, to celebrate
Unleashed dreams
I release them to the wind
They fly high
Among the blue
Taste of freedom
Feels so great
My dreams have taken flight
My feet on the ground
And my dreams soaring high
A feeling of euphoria
As I kiss the wind
I feel lighter
My eyes are brighter
Hope resides in my heart
With the sky above me
A shade of blue
Oh so true
A new day and hope
I embrace the landscape
Proud I am
To feel this beauty
I am a part of it
Welcomed by bright sunrays
Feel free to express
When the sky breaks into laughter
Playfully indulge in a light banter
You are here
Welcomed by a bright new day
Regaled by the birds’ songs
Intoxicating aroma of Nature
Along with a sky so blue

I’m tired of love poems
Of sonnets that lie
Waiting to capture
That sweet kiss
That deep seated wish
Of eternal love
But the truth is
Even love is impermanent
Under this firmament
Above the ground
Love can be found
Love may be sound
But people change
And promises exchanged
Can’t always be maintained
So give me a love poem
That licks its’ lips
At an angel’s hips
That shakes with fevered desire
Run its’ flaming course till it expires
Then finds it end peacefully
Buried beneath memory’s tree
Till then it’s me loving you
Loving me

You took black construction paper
And shaped the pattern of my heart

What is love to you?
Love has been my death

Another old one.

The sweet summer breezes
Bring the scent of rain
In to my home
Through the open windows

I blew some bubbles into the air
And immediately my thoughts flew to you
