Someday You Will Remember

You hide yourself dear
Someday you will remember
I always see you

I know your true heart

This much I know is certain

Love resides in you

Fighting for control

Someday you will remember

You were always free

Running Far Away

Escape is just illusion

Face your deepest fears

Go now if you must

Someday you will remember

My heart will follow

Spring time through Winter

The seasons of man are short

Time forgives little

One thing will endure 

Someday you will remember 

I adore you  Still

I have been experimenting with an English interpretation of  Japanese Haiku.  I have a deep respect for Japanese culture.  I admire the simplicity, strength and beauty it embodies.  Haiku is one verse with three lines.   Five sounds (In English we adapt this as syllables)  in the first line, seven in the second, and five again, in the final line.  I wanted to emulate the style but as I do not speak or write Japanese.  I thought to add my own flavor to its beauty.  I have written seven Haiku that I believe stand alone and yet share a common theme.  I hope I have done honor to the tradition and the spirit of the style.
