Is there really a tugging at the heartstrings?

yes you were a crutch
peeved at your removal, but
I can walk on ice

winter tyres

snow fields exhale fog
higher than zero, new tyres
swish wet black tarmac

don't stop

I know I will fall
apart one day, maybe soon
as the typhoon comes

Alizarin (II)

Madder Rose playing
in crisp leaves, sycamore hands
redly descending

And what do you do?

I guess I don't write
to understand the world; I
build oblique fences

a nature loving man

he was beautiful,

moved like bog cotton dancing

swirled in autumn gusts

one day i will be able to say no (and mean it)

this clean period
recovering you addict,
through soggy summer.

underneath...

there is nothing left
I visited our home land,
you would not see me

I wish I didn't know what you were going through...

sore sore eyes and sick
sore heart. he made me love him,
it was mutual.

nothing helps heartache,
left as nothing, self slides down
he tramples shared dreams.

friends hold out their hands
but I can't touch human warmth,
it's too much contrast.

beaten and left for dead

No coffin for this
love killed by your thoughtlessness;
naked mouldering.

what about me? I hate waiting...

My needs ploughed under
dark soil so yours can grow, forced
to my fallow time.

I don't want to plough that field anymore...

Storm tossed reeds bounce back,
"you are strong, independent,
she needs me," he pleads.

the weather with you

I am too weak and
you are too tempting, please
leave like a stormcloud.

haiku n° 6 (revised)

Your words trickle in
Why did I let you? Cut not
clutch at memories...

haiku n° 5

Your seed trickles out
a wet patch; summer is due,
sunshine flew away.

haiku n° 4

You pull out of me,
drive from the hotel; litter swirls
windblown vortices.

haiku n° 3

Ripe for seeding, sun
falls on open eyes, legs, heart;
you push into me.

haiku n° 2

Yes, it is calmer
without you close, rain clouds scud
across the grey sky.

haiku n° 1

Still I wish for you;
The sap rising in the trees
I will not blossom.
