     this is not at all a haiku. . . but it started out as one!      

     A Caffeine Love Affair

     unloose my nerves, you!
     my body wound in liquid brown wires,
     served false energy.

     dear hours,
     intervene.

     span knuckle to clenched knuckle.
     soften sweetly.

     grip again, you!
     my body milked white, licked and mailed,
     postmarked entropy.

     i cannot hold it together, bon ami.
     mon ennemi.

     so hold me.

in the chest, struck my ribs like
chimes.  They sang; I gasped.

Tanglethis – Eighty-nine September 27, 2008

Everyone knows that
loneliness can kill.  Possibly
tenderness may too.

too tired to haiku.
in the morning, i promised,
then slept, restlessly

Tanglethis – Eighty-eight September 27, 2008

Undeserved love arrives
unexpectedly, kindles
both pleasure and shame.

Tanglethis – Eighty-six September 26, 2008

low voices, low tones
guitar strings like drops of rain
on this gray morning
