Haiku my Heart - Eventide

in low evening sun
white gull flies along tide line
sandpipers scurry

*****

do I have a painting of a gull?
of course I do. a pastel.
can I find it now that I have written the gull haiku?
of course not.
it will turn up some day, when I don't need it.
but I do have a watercolor of shorebirds, at least,
to decorate the page a little.

and a little beach 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

 yet white…..

can you feel the contrast     the penetration
as it burns into you

white heat that brings tears to wet your alabaster cheeks
emotion that sucks your soul forward

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