Moon Haiku
Silent orb, please dimso my lover cannot see
glistening tear-tracks.
Moon, only witness
to this joining of our love,
consecrate our vows.
Raindrops, nature's tears,
on my lover's dark grave fall,
Moon's sorrow is mine.
Cruel, lover's vision,
tantalize me in my dreams,
leave me, cold, at dawn.
