I try
To laugh
Like you
Used
To laugh
With reckless
Abandon
And that
Mischievous
Little
Smile
How I wish
I could
Hear you
Laugh
So that
We could
Laugh
Together
Just
One more
Time

Carrying Your Ghost #5
I’ve found
Hundreds
Of places
To bury
You
All the miles
I’ve traveled
These past
Thirteen
Years
Ocean front
Beaches
Wood shaded
Cathedrals
Slow flowing
Rivers
Still as glass
Lakes
And yet
I am still
Carrying
Your Ghost

Tanka
How long since I’ve known
The Earth, the Sky, grass and clouds?
Too long forgotten
Gentle caress of the wind
I wish to be free again

Carrying Your Ghost #4
If I tied
Your Picture
To a little
Rocket
And I
Lit the fuse
I wonder
Where would
You go?
To the Heavens
Above
All the way
Across
The stars?
But I’ll
Never know
Because
I keep
Your picture
Right here
In the back
Of this
Notebook

Tanka - Steampunk
-For Ophelia
Great ship lifts, silent
A shadow among the stars
Adrift on the wind
She seeks the next adventure
For her true love is the Sky
