Haiku by The Wavesinger

Haiku

---

Your hair, tangled with

amber leaves fallen too soon,

cascades through my hands.

 

I remember the

Trees in full bloom, and you,

lovely but not mine.

 

You catch my eye and

laugh, dissolve the moment, and

thaw us into peace.

 

I live under your

domain. You rule with gentle

kisses, golden smiles.

 

You have colonized

my heart. Set up a throne-room

in its secret glades.

 

I fear for the day

you will cease to want the chill

of my love and leave.

 

Your eyes devour me,

keep me warm. Rosebuds bloom

where your skin touches mine.

 

I ache for your touch,

and I hunger for your kiss,

and thirst for your love.

 

You mold clay

under your hands until it

blossoms into life.
