Petals of Haiku

Family, Lovers, & the Spirit Within

In this collection
Three foundations of my life
Family, home, friends

My support network
People who have touched my heart
Shoulders to cry on

Those who have passed on
And loved ones that still remain
All acknowledged here

Here in poem form
I give them my kind regards
With my heart-felt words

May my love for them
Shine through in the words I write
Thank you for reading

Within these pages
Stories of women for whom
My body has yearned

Never forgotten
Radiant beauty unmatched
And awe it inspired

Memories held dear
And tales of thwarted romance
All contained within

Unbridled passion
Translated to written form
Fantasies unveiled

Still hotly burning
Years after time has tempered
For your enjoyment

I present to you
My spiritual writings
List modest in size

Some of these written
While I read through my Bible
While hospitalized

Though I stopped reading
It is my plan to resume
From the beginning

Biblical Hebrew
Read original language
My newly set goal

May blessings bestow
Upon a reader in need
From my humble words
