I adore the simplicity, as well as the challenge of Haiku. The constraints focus my mind, seeking out the essence of the moment, feeling, notion, distilling it to brilliant singularity.

My goal: to post at least one haiku a day.

Porn bots come and go

Music speaking clear
Words dancing into my heart
Soul’s revolution

Music has long held a dear spot in my heart. Speaking to my loves and passions, my deepest sadness or griefs, soaring joy or the depths of anguish, music captures it. And I feel connected, not alone.

New Year's 2018

Now we transition
We’re returning to normal
Within this new year

 

Ready to get back to work? To shake things up and make a difference? If not, what do you need to do to change that?

Winter advances
Yet the solstice passed us by
Change is approaching

We revere virginity
Sacred and profane
Beauty, yet also tainted
Our confusion is quite deep
