trees busy
becoming trees again
this sense
of missing you
cannot be named by words

rain falling
there was a time
once
when we wished
a day would never end

#tanka #poetry

.

.

how cold it is
this slanted rain
there were times
i took you for granted
much like cherry blossoms

#tanka #poetry

.

.

winter rain
perhaps sometime soon
cherry blossoms

#haiku #poetry

.

.

trying hard
to be part of something
slanted rain

#haiku #poetry

.

.

moon shadows
without you
they seem fitting

#haiku #poetry

.

.

an unfilled moon
how long
does grief last

#haiku #poetry

.

Thank you David .

.

searching for
those long lost wishes
cold star filled sky

#haiku #poetry

.

.

even the herring gulls
seem to sense my pain
the tide too so quiet

#haiku #poetry #grief #dublinbay

.

.

even in my aloneness
how beautiful
these autumn leaves

#haiku #poetry #grief

.

.

in the bay
even the tide has gone
so much of nothing

#haiku #poetry #grief

.

.

alone on the beach
the sound of the sand
in the morning wind

#haiku #poetry #grief

.

.

everywhere
memories of you
withered roses

#haiku #poetry #grief

.

.

the taste of salt
from my tears surprises me
it is so long since i cried

#haiku #poetry #grief

.

.

at the end
what was left unsaid
soft morning mist

#haiku #poetry #grief

.

.

not knowing
how to feel these words
cold slanted rain

#haiku #poetry #grief

.

.

echoing still the words
she has passed
rose petals on water

#haiku #poetry #grief

.

.

what ever happened
to our dreams
a river becomes the sea

#haiku #poetry #grief

.

.

where did it come from
all this grief
yesterday’s rain still falling

#haiku #poetry

they sparkle like diamonds
