BASHO-ESQUE باشو وار

A kiss of iris
on your finger
cut lavender
In the wind
flying to lover.
You bring the moon down
to the dawn
And dawn delivers
The morning.
I wait in my crystal tears
Until you tear the curtain
To become high noon.
Morning iris is set in love.
Is the moon still around?

HAIKUESQUE:WINTERWAVES,O LONELY WINTERWAVES

Winterwaves swim
with love birds
of the sea.
They are seagulls
in the sky
like winterwaves.
And the hazy moon
sobbing silent
in the mist.
But winterwaves
in love
winterwave.

O ANNAPOLIS OF SOLSTICE!

Schooners hatching horizon
Hands in hands and faraway
Either by azure or
In awe of love
Mounting the hills in valley of the bay.
O Annapolis of solstice !
