A place to show my work
Merry Christmas, everyone. Carol Anne and I collaborated to create this double haiku. I hope everyone has a wonderful day.
Silent snowfall drifts,
Joy and laughter fill the air,
Christmas day is here.
Warm fires crackle bright,
Families gather around,
Love’s light shines so clear.

Secrets for a price,
Trading love for pay by night,
Lonely hearts misled.
Whispers haunt the empty rooms,
Desires lost in shadows’ play.
MAD
Arms wrapped around tight,
Comfort found in close embrace,
Love shared in cuddles.
Time almost seems to slow down
As all troubles melt away…

Am I helping?
Or making it worse?
In my heart, I think yes,
But my mind seems to curse.
I reach out to you,
But I start to fear—
Am I sharing comfort,
Or just causing tears?
Though the way might be tough,
I’ll stay by your side,
For life is a journey,
Together we’ll glide.
So I’ll keep on trying,
With hope in my heart,
Even in struggles,
We’ll never part.

Two souls intertwined,
Laughter shared like sacred songs
Together we rise
Close enough to be one soul
As love fills the gap between…

Longing for something special
Only to believe it will never come.
Vulnerable to future loneliness, an
Exception to the rule.
MAD 11/4/24
I have so much jealousy inside
I am jealous of
Of couples holding hands
Their closeness
The way love sparks in their eyes for their significant other.
I long for the laughter,
The whispers shared late at night,
The comfort of a warm embrace,
A love that feels just right.
I watch them walk together,
Two hearts in perfect sync,
While I stand on the sidelines,
Lost in thoughts that make me think.
The simple things they treasure,
A glance, a gentle touch,
I crave that kind of magic,
Oh, how I want it so much.
But deep down, I know,
I must learn to find my peace,
To nurture love within myself,
And let the envy cease.
For every heart has its journey,
And every thread its time,
Perhaps one day I’ll find my own,
A love that feels sublime.

What principles define how you live?
I live by the principle of kindness,
Spreading love and joy, never mindless.
Respecting others and treating all fair,
Being honest and showing I care.
I strive to learn and grow each day,
Embracing challenges that come my way.
Living with gratitude and appreciation,
Embracing life with determination.
MAD 10/13/24
Hate will never win
As love undoes all its sins
Knowing that, we grin
Together we will begin
In our hearts, love grows within…
-AAA/MAD 09/24/2024
Unexpected jolt,
Abrupt change in direction,
wholly caught off guard
by a love so pure & profound
peace & contentment, forever
MAD 9/15/24
Colors blend and meld
light and warm suffuse the air
in harmony found
Letting your heart open up.
until true love can begin
MAD 9/14/24
Will it ever come
Waiting patiently for it
Getting discouraged
Many say it will
But hope dims each passing day
Need to keep hoping.
Love’s light shines through doubt
Guiding us to brighter days
Hope, our constant guide
MAD
Gentle, comforting,
Warm touch to soothe and connect,
Love in every stroke.
MAD
We all must be loved
Sometime within all our lives
In the very least.
Kindness and warmth we seek here
Embracing love we find peace
