Amber Moon

Evening 

amber moon

clear, claret sky 
a little chilled, but 

Divine

Demons Haiku

Closetted demons
hidden light of revealing
from where freedom?

The High Road

The high road from the coast
is a highwayman's dream
layers of black on black; sea, hills, sky
sooty clouds masking fading moon
frozen silhouettes of rock and tree
caught in passing headights
a coalface of night
winter's teeth bites
and bites again

Broken

Broken

hearts don't

heal them selves

another heart must speak

Love

Spring, maybe?

The sky is light dove grey. 
Not just light but light - 
lifting winter off the earth. 
Taking the strain for the snowdrops 
to lift their heads 
and nod at the moon resting 
on tattered feathers of cloud.

Spring?

Maybe?

Runner

In her dayglo vest and unbound hair
she runs as if her past is all behind her

Upside down sea

The wind 

though the skeletal arms of trees 

whipping the clouds into a pearly foam. 

The sky beyond a baltic blue. 

Seagulls delighting in aerial acrobatics

in an upside down sea.

Meditation

meditation 

tear falls

so much hope

in a small prayer

Breathe

Snow for Crows

feigning nonchalance in their dancing gait                                           highwaymen crows patrol the snowswept field edgings -                            because you just never know...

About to fall

feeling

of being

about to fall

she catches her breath.

Balance
