Ageless and Timeless My Love Art Thee (Sonnet)

Ageless and timeless my love art thee,

Perfection alive in human form.

Til the day my last breath I do finally breathe,

I vow to protect thee storm.

 

This promise I made to thee so long ago,

To this day I have ne’er forgotten.

Before God in Heaven on knee I did show,

Thanks for the path I’ve long trodden.

 

Honor me now to be thine til the end,

I ask with a heart that is true.

My feelings for thee shalt not break nor will bend,

Til death when we bid fond adieu.

 

Know that each day I cherish this gift, spent with my hand in your hand.

I take not for granted on retribution swift, my love to an island you strand.

A Higher Standard (Tanka)

A higher standard

Sacrificed to man’s mistakes

We are all human

When too much to live up to

It guarantees our failure

Crescent Moon Through Clouds (Haiku)

Crescent moon through clouds

Once shrouded in mystery

Lost to ancient times

Shaken From a Dream (Senryu)

Shaken from a dream

Reality seems blurred

Which of them is real

Confusion (Acrostic)

Chaos corrals me

Only to cut me loose with a fury

Nothing makes sense anymore

Frying my feeble brain

Useless is it to resist

Steely is her grip

Instead I submit

Only to plunge deeper into the darkness

Never to return

Serenading Me (Tanka)

Serenading me

Songbirds in the cottonwoods

A lovely alarm

To wake to nature’s music

Just as Heaven intended

So Many Aches and Pains

So many aches and pains

Never use to be this way

I could go for hours

Suddenly the years take toll

And the body does rebel

Very strange indeed

These natural frailties

That affect us all

One can cosmetically fight

But in the end…aging wins

Works Satisfaction (Haiku)

Works satisfaction

Goodness for the human soul

Man’s accomplishment

Buzzing in My Ear (Haiku)

Buzzing in my ear

Bees busy pollinating

Nothing to be feared
