Whitebelt

First day entering
 Dojo a comfort and shock
 On the path of self.

Starbucks

Standing outside now

Hoping that someone leaves soon

Finally a seat

Morning

Coffee and Nesquik

We drink, talk,laugh together

Memories each day

Little boy

Innocence and joy

Hanging on your mothers hip

Love, no conditions.

Harmony

Ripples in a pond

Our actions touch each other

Strive for harmony

Conflict

Honor above all

Respect courtesy as well

Breeds conflict when lost

Nap

Busy day

Lazy afternoon stolen

An excellent nap

Sneeze

Tickling it arrives

An explosion of great sound

Then smiles all around

Friday

4am arrives

While sleep is calling my name

Temptress that she is

Sleep

Bones weary, long day

Rest beckons with a promise

Glorious rebirth

Forgive

To embrace a wrong

Deepest poison in your soul

Forgive to be free

Selfish II

One day you will wake

To the carnage you create

By then it is late

Selfish

Revolve around you

Things and people to your whims

Wake the fuck up please

Winter

Subtle as a thief

Enveloping in embrace

Cold freezing my heart

Annoying

Your music blaring

Oblivious you ignore

The stares around you

Love

Love, a wounding balm

Opens, cuts,closes, heals, rending hearts

Mercifully cruel

Rain

Rain falling gently

The day is crying silence

A susurrant dream.

Haiku

Five seven five, yes

If memory serves me true

This is my haiku.
