HAIKU MY CHRISTMAS HEART




this christmas party
seems like a room of chaos
my house more peaceful

Christmas in Florida in 85 degree sunshine
means beautiful Gulf beach sunsets.....

my camera is broken! :(






and poetry .....


WHITE HEAT


let  me show you     my love
 the sunset  over deepest water

   not just red   pink   orange
   but a center of conspicuous    intense


white.....


as pure as you    my love     splashed only with
 long yellowed edges      like your blowing hair
 gently weaving a ragged trail outward
  
   across vast sky into ever deeper dark
   ultra-marine blue     as dark as your mysterious heart


white.....


can you feel the contrast     the penetration
as it burns into you
  
   heat that brings tears to run down your alabaster cheeks
   emotion that sucks your soul forward

    look my love      at the sweet white hot sunset
    burning low on the gulf  horizon


MERRY CHRISTMAS
AND ALL OTHER SEASON BLESSINGS
