now comes the evening when I didn’t say I love you because your heart knows every word is a love word every breath says I love you

tanka for a friend 11/13/18 8:05pm
now comes the evening when I didn’t say I love you because your heart knows every word is a love word every breath says I love you
haiku
heart in red and gold meets spirit in green and bright the new season waits
tanka for a friend
centuries open before us our love grows ten thousand years eagle on the wing evening copse in gray and sun heart with ten thousand chambers
tanka
keep me warm my dear hold me for a thousand miles sit with me among the greens with the sun nestled in gray our hearts tangled in joy
senryu
these words live despite that moment of urgency the voice that said now
senryu
simmer the hot pot lower the flame for the day your heart comes home
tanka
your shadow’s echo beckoned by a vagrant wind named after a hope uttered by a romantic calling across the divide
senryu
crush my heart under the specific gravity of your absence
