Coming Home

Its been more than a year since my last post here. For all practical purposes the experiment failed. Last week,  I tried to put something together. It started out as a challenge, but I ended up enjoying it quite a lot. Now, Haiku this probably isn't. I mean, I do have the meter down, but I still have a long time to go before I pass muster. Nonetheless, it's been fun writing stuff down after what seems to be an eternity. So here goes,

fallen leaves quiver
the sky shaded velvet black
as I yearn for you

a flash of moonlight
tears glistening on my cheek
all alone I stand

a storm raging on
terrible torrents of turmoil
in my heart and yours

the night deathly still
the wind whistling through the woods
or perhaps it's you

your eyes fill me up
I danced with you one cold night
or was it a dream?

weary traveler once,
seeking places unknown, now
I know the way back

dawn creeps cross the sky
my tired legs end their journey
I am home. home again
