islands beckon me
shadows on the horizon
as I drift westward
haiku
Dark
I taste the poison
passionate uncertainty
blackening my heart
I submit to death
a lover in the darkness
with a cold embrace
I am born once more
roused by immortal fingers
caressing my flesh
Equinox
the accord is struck
night and day agree on terms
Spring may come again
Tides
the relentless tides
lovers are drowned in their waves
and turned into sand
we watch the last star falling
what pity is there
for this melancholy isle
save the songs we sing
Marching
Spring be the goddess
who leads me from the winter
to the risen sun
Spring
this virgin spring
waiting for her first embrace,
her lover, the sun
Silence
the birds are silent
for they are party to things
we will never know
Lost
the last hours are lost
gone too the dreams that filled them
shattered in waking
Entreaty
desires unending
an insanity of mind
demanded by blood
