Haiku

My racing heart pounds,
My pulse screaming through my veins,
My mind filled with images of you,
A sense of loss, love turned back
To whence it came.

Her smile

In the darkness of the world.
There is but one shining light,
An aspect so bright and pure,
Worth more to me than silver,

Your smile brightens up a room,
Bringing me in from the shadow,
it is all that I quest for,
The shining light in the dark.

Of all the things I cling to,
To all that makes me human,
Just a quick flash of your smile,
Is what I hold most dearest.
