No one seems to care
In intensive care units
They should change the name

Sitting happily
or is it unhappily
sometimes hard to tell

Speaking to a friend
Grateful for the connection
There's nothing like it

Speaking to a friend
Grateful for the connection
Closer than brothers

Speaking to a friend
Grateful for the connection
with friends, and my Friend

Sitting in my home

inside my internal world

hearing its calling

Sometimes when tired
the courageous thing to do
is to go to sleep

 Is the secret that

there are no words in water,
is that what it is?
How the water flows
as it tumbles over me,
speaks a true language
No earth and no stone
can take a waterfall's place
or shout its whisper
Mom once heard a speech
about how it's water that
relaxes us most
I miss my mother
in every crevice of life
and at the water
I wasn't sure if
I should come here again now
but there are reasons
God please please bless me
in my most private moments
to sense the water
Here in the desert
a waterfall hides and seeks:
We've found each other
Water and poems
don't have room for linear or
literal moves

Stone in the water
Still as the river flows
Changing everything

My baseline is like
a bassline that differs from
my actual tune

 When I no longer

feel the need to be relaxed
I will be relaxed

I met a guy who
said he is "self unemployed,"
clever and so sad

DATING PROFILE

What's more dramatic
than saying just, 'no drama'
as your description?

Arguing with myself haiku by haiku:


I’ll throw this away
It’s only for me to vent
Not for you to see
This will get published
And be lauded on TV
And bring you meaning
I’m wasting my time
Over and over again
Like with this writing
I’m becoming me
By answering my calling
Being me right now
I should be sleeping
Or up being productive
Not here writing this
I’m where I should be
Doing what I need to do
Writing this haiku
