Captives of our desires

Haiku [June 2015]

Haiku

Grey skies draw the soul;
her eyes, cool somnolent pools;
bracing, breath-taking

=============

rays of struggling sun;
the frozen earth will not budge:
your coolth defies me.

=============

Leaf falls in still air;
Drifts gently onto the grass.
Quiet autumn comes.

=============

Dust drifts in bright beams,
Obscuring shine like light snow;
So youth fades, gently.

=============

The mongoose scuttles
Traversing dark roads by day --
We risk all, to sup.

Haiku for her

Distant clouds sigh by;
Faint shadows map our contours:
Wide worlds in your eyes.

(1 Jan. 2015)

Haiku

Trees, shaken by wind
Sloughing leaf and branch, naked
Storms strip our ego.

(Hein Mönnig 2014)
