I patiently wait.
***
My hopes high
In notifications,
So patiently
Succumbs.
***
Yesterday
Only missing
Unfortunately.
***
Where you here
Hours ago,
Earlier
Nobody knows?
***
I wait patiently.
***
Groans silently
Oh, the delay.
***
A different zone.
***
Day is now night
All ready for bed
Yearning.
***
Night to day
Over night waiting
To see your name.
***
Silently pops up
Early evening,
Every day
In time for me
Needing to see
Gratitude.
***
Yet we missed
Out one day
Uneasy
Restless energy.
***
No notification
As I awake
Missed again
Emotional.
***
Optimism
Necessary.
***
Maybe tomorrow
Yes I’m sure to see.
***
Silently waiting
Concerned now
Realising
Eventually
Ease up now
No expectations.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.

His Haibun
He does not like poetry; I write it anyway and do not tell him. It's true his face is not a poet's face. It is round and open, youthful; too apt to be compared to the sun. His nose is neat. It is impossible to imagine him smoking a cigarette, terse, full of cheekbones and tension. His warmth burns my fingertips. I am here for his fascinating body, the haphazard freckles I touch one by one; he is here for my eyes, just my eyes. A sunbeam sneaks through the curtains and pierces us both, sizzling the spices of his skin. I inhale and wrap myself in him. He kisses my eyes.

Confessions of an Empath
The birds are chirping, and the sun is shining in a cloudless July sky. The vibrancy promises a beautiful day, but the cooing of the Mourning Dove perched on the powerlines seems to be more fitting than the lively songs of the robin flitting through the trees. The melancholic calls of the dove cloak the world in a sadness that hangs like tattered drapes.
