Looking At These Birds


Looking at these birds,

Freely flying by the sea,

Sets my spirit free.

The Thief Of Time


Who knows not the thief of time?

He’s that fiend who slyly steals

And thrives upon suspended dreams,

Upon the things we could have done

Or could have seen or had or been,

Upon our unaccomplished aims

And our hibernating schemes,

Who dwells within us unobserved,

Depleting us of animation.

Who knows not Procrastination?

Beware!

I dream a gentle nightingale 

Is sweetly singing on a tree 

And that a crafty slimy fox 

Is slyly watching from afar. 

My inner self then wakes me up 

And whispers in my ear: Beware!

This Dew-Drenched Rosebud


This dew-drenched rosebud

Ignites in me a fire

Hard to extinguish.

What Is A Haiku?

What is a haiku?  

The essence of a moment 

Concisely conceived.

You’re Mine And I’m Yours

You’re mine and I’m yours,

Said my Dad on his deathbed,

Looking at my Mom.

I Crave The Fragrance


I crave the fragrance‬

‪Of the delicate flowers‬

‪In your lush garden.‬
