8/1/2012
You are wonderful
I’ve said it often before
I will never stop

8/2/2012
We’re trapped by hatred
Warmongers stroke the fires
All we need is love

8/3/2012
Noise can be a friend
Reminding us to awake
For what we have shared

8/4/2012
Do you remember
Making mix tapes of our songs
Decades passed quickly

8/5/2012
I thought I saw you
A shadow brushing my leg
A Doberman dream

8/6/2012
Moments happen when
The relief seems possible
Physics negate it

8/7/2012
We explore planets
With robotic surrogates
Mystery ourselves

8/8/2012
We stoke the fire
Actions without consequence
Karma comes around

8/9/2012
Life’s a marathon
Elegance of the journey
Trumps instant success

8/10/2012
It took me seconds
To realize what was framed
You’re a romantic

8/11/2012
I don’t deserve you
It’s an honest sentiment
Makes me work harder

8/12/2012
Beeps and pops abound
A constant cacophony
That is our soundtrack

8/13/2012
It’s one last prayer
Dear God please deliver us
No one to listen

8/14/2012
Dates are meaningless
Encumbered with such power
Another check mark

8/15/2012
Once around the sun
Words on a virtual notepad
In five seven five

7/1/2012
I wont’t let you go
Attachment can be toxic
My eyes wide open

7/2/2012
As the water drips
And the coffee percolates
My love grows stronger

7/3/2012
We are born clean slates
But we chalk life imagined
It’s time to erase

7/4/2012
True independence
It is a simple concept
Not an easy one

7/5/2012
When silence deafens
And calm brings panic attacks
The answer: your hands

7/6/2012
Sometimes I wonder
Do I deserve the dessert
I live a charmed life

7/7/2012
In the marketplace
Invented reality
It is the truth unknown

7/8/2012
It’s the way you think
Unexplained phenomena
Your reality

7/9/2012
“Waiting on a friend”
Is my favorite Stones song
I’m the only one

7/10/2012
I don’t want to talk
It is the time for action
Perhaps a cuppa

7/11/2012
Every single day
Pictures of you surround me
Your presence always

7/12/2012
A hot summer day
We run up the grassy hill
It’s an adventure

7/13/2012
The road side radar
Clocks me at twelve miles per hour
I laugh as I run

7/14/2012
Tapas day today
After months of avoiding
No quiero jamón

7/15/2012
We all die alone
But our moments together
Make up for it all

6/1/2012
Will you marry me?
I meant to say, but stumbled
A smile and a kiss

6/2/2012
It’s luck you may say
I’ve learned that it rarely is
You must row to shore

6/3/2012
Everything changes
But almost never at once
I breathe in and out

6/4/2012
Fashion comes and goes
You’re a classic everyday
It’s substance and style

6/5/2012
Even when challenged
Optimism begets good luck
Your calm assures me

6/6/2012
When I’m around you
I am your priority
How lucky am I?

6/7/2012
His voice in the dark
Never knew him but miss him
Too young to have died

6/8/2012
Such self importance
A bell ring reminding me
That we’re all babies

6/9/2012
Wir müßen weg hier
Ich habe es gesehen
Wer hat verloren?

6/10/2012
Ringing never stops
I wonder what silence is
There’s nothing but sound

6/11/2012
If clothes make the man
What do mine say about me?
I feel generic

6/12/2012
They’re precious moments
Your laugh is infectious
Fall for you again

6/13/2012
We all sing through life
Without knowing all the words
Having lyrics helps

6/14/2012
Would life be worth it
If your crystal ball did work
Never ending play

6/15/2012
Changes drive forward
Standing still’s not an option
It never has been

6/16/2012
Obstacles ahead
Likely of your own making
This is a constant

6/17/2012
You gave up your dreams
In exchange for our future
Father and hero

6/18/2012
Your wings fluttering
A language misunderstood
Patterns in mid air

6/19/2012
In the final act
Will a whimper be enough
Or a grand gesture

6/20/2012
Nothing is final
For nothing ever began
Waves and particles

6/21/2012
They can be angels
But we would never know it
We act like guardians

6/22/2012
A smile in the crowd
Gives way to an epic tale
Building narrative

6/23/2012
A far jet engine
Rumbles like a god’s weapon
And leaves a soft cloud

6/24/2012
An expectation
Words that you never utter
What do I do next?

6/25/2012
Fear creeps in again
Is this what you have wanted?
Too many questions

6/26/2012
A gift from the gods
A fine night at the movies
My love by my side

6/27/2012
Do we understand
The stories we tell ourselves
Just dime store playwrights

6/28/2012
Place to cry and laugh
My home and my hiding place
Your welcome embrace

6/29/2012
Cuando tu sueñas
La guitarra de tu voz
Habla de amor

6/30/2012
At first it welcomes
Summer heat warms the muscles
It traps you with time

5/16/2012
Expectation builds
Is my plan special enough?
I’m a born worrier

5/17/2012
Proud of your success
Tenacity and hard work
A wonder to see

5/18/2012
Breakfast for dinner
It’s the happy announcement
I am Pavlov’s Dog

5/19/2012
One step at a time
The run builds as time passes
In and out breathe calms

5/20/2012
My weakness again
Stops me from feeling myself
How do people eat?

5/21/2012
Is the timing right?
Doubt creeps up at strangest times
Certainty doesn’t come

5/22/2012
Music wafts and wanes
Sometimes it reflects my moods
Other times foretells

5/23/2012
Simple things abound
Satisfaction inherent
Just let it happen

5/24/2012
On days that beguile
When duty guides our actions
Call Buddha nature

5/25/2012
Turbulent flow laws
Applying to traffic snarls
Life once imagined

5/26/2012
Softness draws me in
Your lips are slightly parted
My eyes close, waiting…

5/27/2012
Humans are strange beings
Oddities become a life
Commonplace for all

5/28/2012
It is not a flaw
To sweat when warmth comes to call
Balance is an art

5/29/2012
One upon a time
Solitude was my refuge
It’s now only you

5/30/2012
We can’t be a team
If you decide without us
Business a cliche

5/31/2012
Seconds tick away
The anticipation grows
Will she answer “yes”

4/16/2012
Tears ran down their cheeks
Feeling slighted, no reason
I’m a therapist?

4/17/2012
During those late nights
When the travel interferes
Rescue me again

4/18/2012
My head surrounded
By impenetrable fog
Will there be an end?

4/19/2012
At the pool we stay
While my spirit does rebound
Your laughter cures it

4/20/2012
In the sun we move
Towards a new adventure
Time to let it go

4/21/2012
While eating dinner
The thought comes to me in waves
When will time be right?

4/22/2012
Waves crash over us
Playing as if we’re children
The truth of our life

4/23/2012
Warm hand caresses
When the cold descends on me
Green eyes shine like stars

4/24/2012
The Strange Museum
Where my words sit bare, alone
May your eyes bless them

4/25/2012
La vida normal
Encuentra una gran verdad
Todo es nuevo

4/26/2012
To open my eyes
And see your beautiful face
A blessed man, I am

4/27/2012
A simple comment
Knowledge deeper than mere rote
Your brain astounds me

4/28/2012
Searching for meaning
In the sweet chaos of life
An eye for detail

4/29/2012
Your knife deftly cuts
Heat transforms flavors quickly
Your skills sustains us

4/30/2012
Duty comes calling
Lovingly, you support me
Your patience abounds

Last month one of my readers suggested I break my monthly summary of daily haikus into two. Here are the April 1st to April 15th haikus.

4/1/2012
The streets of our town
Lost the meaning they once had
Forgive me, my friend

4/2/2012
Flowers bloom in Spring
Life swells green below our feet
Vibrations of life

4/3/2012
Your laughter warns me
Like a meditation bell
To appreciate

4/4/2012
When you say my name
My heart soars above it all
You catch me grinning

4/5/2012
I love to watch when
Your hands dance as you speak
You are not Latin?

4/6/2012
Chasing history
Has never been this much fun
Are you surprised too

4/7/2012
Car rides together
When you break into a song
Are a dream to me

4/8/2012
When it is all done
What makes a true holiday
But your hand in mine

4/9/2012
Sometimes I am scared
That the ringing in my ears
Becomes all I know

4/10/2012
What a silly pup
You brighten every morning
With your carefree ways

4/11/2012
I run to stay fit
The truth is much more than that
It’s meditation

4/12/2012
People make choices
How do they arrive to them?
No one is the same

4/13/2012
Pressure in my head
Threatens to rip it open
Make too much of it

4/14/2012
From the other room
I hear you tell life stories
It’s a symphony

4/15/2012
I irritate you
I never mean to do so
Can you forgive me?
