FINDING LOVE AGAIN

DIALOG OF BRAIN & HEART



Seven SEDOKA



Slow plod these new days.

They're ancient; nothing new here.

For what do I wait?



(My aching heart answers me:

"You miss old days of new Love!")







But where have they gone?!

I did not see them depart!

Will such days return?



(Once more my mourning heart speaks:

"Love did not leave YOU: YOU turned!")







It was a REFLEX!

So that I would not ACHE MORE!

Oh!, love should not hurt!



(And my tender heart replied:

"Returning-Spring brings Love New!")







WHAT!  Love keeps Seasons?!

WHAT!  Must I wait for Springtime?!

WHAT!  I need Love NOW!!



(And my smiling heart tells me:

"Hearts need Love; Love needs TWO hearts!")







Ohhhhh!, THIS heart's READY!!

Ready to be  O N E  with Love!

As Poet and Muse!



(And my pensive heart suggests"

"Ready to be  W O N  by Love?!")







YES!!  SOOOO ROMANTIC,

I long for intimacies!!

Oh!!, the DEEPEST kind!!



("You claim INTIMACIES, huh?!

Well, Love comes so CLOSE...you'll FUSE!!!!!)

"The LOVELINESS of ONE!
The ONE-liness of LOVE!
li'l HOKKU;
:I am he and she!
:and yet, she is she and me!
:How can such things BE??!!"

"Springboarded" from D. Russell's "Am I Not Mad" as an exercise in Tanka / Hokku. I intend to match "Am I Not.." in a fuller fashion, thought-for-thought.....soon. Thank you D.r., you never cease to inspire this pen.


"Poe" I'm not, nor "Rich" am I,
but I'll be famous, b'ye and b'ye !
