A place to show my work
Love is a wonderful thing to have
Someone there for you no matter what
To stick with you through thick and thin
In laughter and in tears, they stay,
A gentle hand to guide the way,
With every step, a shared embrace,
In love, we’ve found our sacred space.
In the still of the night, questions take flight,
Will someone ever love me, and hold me tight?
I walk with my baggage, a heavy heart’s weight,
A journey of sorrows that plays on my fate.
Each piece of my past, like stones in my pack,
A story of heartache that I can’t hold back.
Yet in the shadows, a flicker of hope,
That love, warm and gentle, can help me cope.
I dream of a day when I’ll lay down my load,
And find in another a shared, winding road.
Together we’ll navigate the fears that I hide,
With trust as our compass, and hearts open wide.
So here I stand still, beneath starlit skies,
Embracing the journey, with love as my prize.
Though I carry my baggage, I’ll trust in the spark,
That love has a way of igniting the dark.
Promises made,
yet never fulfilled,
I find myself asking,
“Why do I still care?”
Is my yearning for love,
for acceptance,
so deep,
so desperate?
Be still my beating heart for love is surely near,
Someone just for you, to hold you close and dear.
A gentle touch, a laughing smile,
Together we can walk a while.
Love
Gentle, Warm
Caring, Sharing, embracing
Joy, trust, Happiness, Harmony,
Fighting, jealousy, resentment
Cold, Bitter
Hate
Absence makes hearts long,
Time apart can teach us well,
Memories like threads,
Woven through the silent nights,
Love’s echo grows stronger still.
In February’s gentle sway,
Lovers whisper sweet and near,
A heart-shaped shadow marks the day,
As I watch, consumed by fear.
Roses bloom in vibrant red,
Chocolates melt in warm embrace,
Yet here I sit with thoughts unsaid,
In this lonely, crowded space.
Laughter rings with sweet delight,
As envy whispers deep inside;
I ache for love both day and night,
While joy feels distant, nearly died.
Yet beneath this bitter view,
A flicker shines, faint but bright,
For every heart that breaks in two
Can find its path back to the light.

Hope this is not false.
This love must be very real.
Devastation looms,
Stay with me through all the years,
Together, we’ll be so bright.

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.
Carol Anne/MAD
Secrets for a price,
Trading love for pay by night,
Lonely hearts misled.
Whispers haunt the empty rooms,
Desires lost in shadows’ play.

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.
