At dusk a half moon
In solitude she is whole
Sweet the path ahead
Modern heiku
Tears like softest rain
Weep upon the night, soothing
Solace to her heart
Shadows stir - fog drifts
Lone he walks the middle path
He is not alone
Golden burnt sienna
Earth serengeti
Brave warrior chants
Echo
Fearless lion roars
Like fire upon the dust
Rises
I always loved blue–
the blue sky
the blue ocean
my little blue pen.
I painted oceans on canvas
in various shades of blue.

But today, I am blue with
every bitter memory I have
of you.
You said I had
a diamond heart.

Is that why
you crushed it –
thought it wouldn't hurt?
One can only give
what one has

Be it love
or
Be it hate.
Not all rivers
end up in the ocean–
doesn't make their journey
less worthy.

Not all love
ends up in a lover's arms–
doesn't make it any less
worthy.
When a relationship
feels like a burden and
trust is found wanting

Break it before
it breaks you.
