Relationships

A cup of coffee
warming more than the body.
Times of deep friendship,
Laughing, frost reddened faces
Bonding forever.

The Unknown

Traveling your path,
Don't fear beginning or end.
They are giving you
A new perspective to life
And it's infinite choices.

 

[Apreggiator]

Staring at the sea

Salt pecks at my lips
Hear horizons call my soul
Waves crash without end

The Unknown

Traveling your path,
Don't fear beginning or end.
They are giving you
A new perspective to life
And it's infinite choices.

Bang on! We live but for the moment in the present.

Staring at the sea

Salt pecks at my lips
Hear horizons call my soul
Waves crash without end

Great use of senses, backed by metaphor and personication, Ap. !

Work

Well polished thoughts
Held up to the morning light
Still, some thorns remain

 

[bobsvinyl]

Coward

Your false bravado
Does not impress me at all.
I see you tremble
Your eyes are fearful shadows
Your smile just stapled on.

Winter Insects

Where do they come from?
How do they survive the cold?
Micro space heaters?
Custom made Carhartt jackets?
These questions really bug me.

Unraveled

Old thread has worn thin.
Too late to fix the damage.
Excision is best.
Sacrificing for the whole.
Knit into it's history.

New Growth

Buds rise before spring
Risking nature's sudden whims.
Praying for the sun.

The Jagged Frontier

We shaped thinking tools
Sand, fire, work, questioning
Mirrors running code
When wisdom outgrows our reach
May mercy outgrow their grasp

Work

Well polished thoughts
Held up to the morning light
Still, some thorns remain

"Perfection" oft strived for...seldom attained.

Micro space heaters?

These questions really bug me.

Enigmatic question, with Nature's anti-freeze solution.

DEDICATION

Stalwart warrior
never ending sentinals
enduring fitful
gales of mental torment you
persevere without thought.

We All Lose

Rot beneath the silk
Cracked mask, deep moral decay
Ringing. Dark, raw, cold

A Haiku about a recent visit from the daughters little ones...

Oops, Sorry Grandpa

My stylus is lose
Grandkids and gear do not mix
Oh well, upgrade time

OLD AGE

Translucent thin skin
with deep wrinkles well earned by
decades of worry,
peering through eyes now weakened
by time, winds of change and use.

Delicacy is a trait earned by time...as you so well point out.

Strength

@ETLS
A body ravaged
Fighting a desperate war
No comfort in sight
But the hope of the future
Outweighs the present ordeal.

Bald

The hair was once there
Luxuriant and vibrant.
Then genetics struck.
Each strand sighing and dying,
Parting too early.
