Haiku's   for  My  Beloved

Hot tears mask my face

When I think how you’re not here

Smiles if  I do not

I close my eyes now

And see yours shining there

Glistening in the dark

You are that dear one

Who lit up my fire again

Embers always yours

You can’t imagine

What you are to me, my Sweet

Candies to my soul

Where have you been, Love

Hiding in her heart these years

Waiting to find me?

No one has touched me

So far inside my sad soul

Kisses penetrate

There’s  no way to say

How you have stirred my stillness

Words too weak to speak

Pouting lips I sense

If I neglect to write you,

Remember my love

Breathing in this air

I seek the taste of your mouth

Making memories

Poems from your hands

Make music in my guitar

Melodies anew

So far yet so near

Your skin haunts me in my sleep

Fantasy awakes

Life was meaningless

Then you appeared from Heaven

Hell can’t have me now

You said you loved me

My heart soared – a para-sail

Colors in the wind

Nothing is like you

Nothing I have ever known

Nothing can compare

Soul supernova

In the galaxy of you

Exploding with love

Am I dreaming this,

Someone really cares for me?

Please don’t wake me now

More than I deserve

As sinful as I have been

Your love – gift from God
