Absence

I chase
the remnants
of my broken dream
chilling the night
of your absence

From my book,
Haiku and Tanka Harvest

Your Absence

I chase
the remnants
of my broken dream
chilling the night
of your absence

Two rainbows

two rainbows arch
in the misty sky
this early summer
he will be home soon
to his wife and daughter

Her absence

I sense the silent
waft of fragrance
from the incense
calming my heart
in her absence

Her absence

the roses bloom
side by side with weeds
her long long absence
