alike are
love and
the rose

if
neglected,
farewell
to
both.

away

and then we awayed
upon the parting of day,
to the brook we went.

#Haiku #Poem #Love

Ojalá con gallardía
Encarar pudiera
Mis temores que marchitan
Los primores de la vida,
Mas mientras del árbol
De la juventud
Todos gozan de sus frutas,
Quedo impotente yo
Ante sus mudanzas.
Ah condenado estoy
A verlas madurar
Hasta que de la rama
Se desprendan y a la tierra
Se caigan.

thunder

when she cries, it rains
when she angers, it thunders
when she laughs, it shines

Paris in the Summer

o the wingéd nyx!
thou heed’st thy mind fatigued,
and slumber seek’st.

phoebus doth await,
soon to arise, lucent form!
such is destiny.

and will i wake then,
to hail his or-coated rays,
to greet day's creatures.

lark, thy song sweet come!
diurnal clarity, come!
when day alas dawns.

the cambrian seas
are calm this mid-summer eve,
and shimmer the stars.

lotus specter-white,
cradled by the nippon fields,
beauty eternal.

your flesh—
tincture of
the swan’s
plumage—
phantasm-blanc.
your eyes—
suave-ciel
like the pleasant
waters of
crete.
your hair—
gilded
gossamer
strands
like the
aurum
silk of
cambodia.
your brow—
grace
delicacy
incarnate—
like the
brushstrokes of
hiroshige.

Nocturne II

when sky dons
her sloe-sable sheath,
and gone ‘s
the luciferian vestige,

and hour
bids the tired
sleep,
and comes
forth
the gentle
breeze,

then come to me
my pallid queen,
come be with me
luna’s realm ‘neath
