[poem] running away

running away

leaning back on the wall
your droll smile paints your face
and your eyes fix on mine
as it has for most of the evening

as if you called me
I come near
and nearer
leaning over you
"I apologize
but I cannot take the kiss
you want me to take"
I bow my head
my lips dry and trembling
I graze your cheek
and I turn around and leave

[poem] six senryu

six senryu

Waiting in the restaurant
flowers and Okamoto on hand
arguing with the birds and the bees

Dark stormy night
the world twists and turns
wild dancing under the rain

Heart pounding and excited
shivering in the rain
racing against lightning

I enter the door
wet and panting
your eyes open wide in surprise

Caterwaul escapes me
while inside your head
I twitch and moan

Tears rolling down
puckered lips
kissing memories goodbye

[poem] another temptation

another temptation

placing finger to your lips
softly so the others would not hear
I said, "may the wish be the act"

You tipped your cap
grabbed my beer bottle
looked me in the eye

and took a long drink

rain pelting the hut
restless rustle in the night
moans and giggles

sun rising slowly
a halo of blinding red
fire tree in bloom
