One More

Four people playing doubles tennis on outdoor court with sunset in background
a tennis court sunset
one more
you would call out
I was already expecting to hear it
every day the same time, we played
a father I met a summer ago
he was good
so good
he made me good too
I loved that about us
it's the only thing I can say we still have
that memory I just told you about
he pushed me
he made me run all over the place
he beat me
over
and over
and... over again
And, I loved every minute of it
I wish I could have
just...
one more

And, Beyond – Haiku

Two glowing cosmic figures embracing surrounded by stars and galaxies

flourishing true love 
from a glance to an embrace 
now, eternal souls 

Chance Love – Haiku

Crowded busy street with people walking, couple holding hands in foreground

walk on by strangers
together their hearts do long
happenstance may lead
