On Days I Mourn – Haiku

the rain has that taste
streets black even at morning
my longing heart slows

A Shade of Ash # 6 – Why does the happiest day of my life keep breaking my heart?

I tried again today as I have tried so many times since the last heartstring that bound us severed. For a split-second, I got to hear your voice. For a split-second, I thought you would listen to mine. It was the longest pause yet…trust me, I know.

So, Ashton, I guess it’s another “Happy Birthday” sent off into the universe with all my love. Maybe it will find the world I’ve lost and help return it to me.

– Dad xoxo

I had you for a while,
then…I lost you to the sea.
Alone in these narrows,
until the day you return to me.

But, I couldn’t stop my heart,
when yours did.

Like a Dream!

Your heart is like a dream. Once I awaken, everything disappears.

We played and played. Dad, at your service, what game shall we play next? You couldn’t get enough of me and I couldn’t take my eyes off of you…that afternoon, together.
