November knocks
precipitating a gloom
our embrace— “No one’s home!”
on the couch, we radiate
fall can wait; we mull over
sugar, spice, and love

Haiga: Missed Connection
Micropoetry: A Body of Curiosity and Love
How does the feeling of love—the very moment of love’s conception arise when you realise that this is the emotion—manifest itself in physical form?
Two hearts beat;
our soul’s breath.
Entwined by
the arresting restlessness.
How curious—
love is.
Haiku: Tomorrow’s Love
Sycamore sapling
bark obscures future love notes
words carved from heartwood
Haiku: Broken Flowers
Neglected flower
bruised petals, its stem snapped
love dyed in black
Haibun: Love to Sin
As night turns to day—a tryst becomes a stay. Clothes strewn across the floor, a breadcrumb trail for Lust to find her way. Sunlight beams through the window and into two lovers’ hearts.
A stirring of bodies, a hand glides over another. The electricity of the night before sparks like flint against steel and radiates outwards. The quiet, morning tension broken by the chirps of a passionate, morning chorus. Accidental voyeurs to a second sin.
The cardinal sings
of carnal sin—a climax
we’re lost in song
Emotional Fractals
The definition of insanity
is fractal
Love can be a madness
beyond bodily comprehension
Love can be dangerous
a serpentine embrace
leaving you breathless
Love can be the acnestis
of a heart forever chasing
that virgin storm
The definition of love
is fractal
Lovebirds
New love so saccharine, cherubs watch from on high
Blushing as we writhe in angelic ecstasy
Your voice will suffice
Drown out a judgemental dirge
Doves & crows sing jealously
Two hearts heave—a frantic merge
One half of the same soul
Separate wings make us whole
