She Walks in Beauty
By George Gordon Byron – 1788-1824
I.
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
II.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o’er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling place.
III.
And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!
Written June 12, 1814. This poem is in the public domain

Book Description
Haiku is a type of short form poetry originally from Japan. Traditional Japanese haiku consist of three phrases that contain a 5, 7, 5 pattern. Western haiku poets try to maintain a very simple form; free of all poetic trickery yet able to paint a picture with gracefulness.
In this Haiku fusion poetry book, I explore many themes and thoughts with an erratic modern edge and have accompanied each poem with its Japanese translation. Even though some of the poem’s depth might be lost in translation, I still think it only fair to give respect to the language haiku was originally penned in.
Read close to 90 poems, with an introduction to “The 7’s” where I express my take on Haiku describing authentic topics like: 7 Heat – Ups / 7 Deadly Sins / 7 Heavenly Virtues / 7 Modern World Wonders / 7 Ancient World Wonders.

Hued
Chemical hearts painting my canvas
Shades of blues hidden among them reds
Brushed awkward strokes in flashes.

My friend, one of the dearest
T’was never meant to be for us
But I know you adored me
Even dared to protect me
That you told me years later
You followed me home after school
Making sure I stayed safe under your watchful pool!
—
And didn’t you write my name on your shoes,
Splattered for all to see…it was a big blush for me!
—
Utterly kind-hearted, honest and genuine
Years passed us by but fate did intervene
We did speak years after, a meet was not in our ‘has-beens’
For you left earth onto another heavenly scene!
—
Our talks gathered a lot of memories and momentum
Gave me the feeling of your unrest and dark guilt hidden
Hope you found your light, your time here though a given!
—
You asked me then to write about us
A fictitious story of love which could have been
But my dearest YOU were the writer, you wrote so well,
A talent you showed me yet from others you kept superbly hidden!
—
We will meet again, one day I promise
Until then, I share this poem for you…from me
A few words to line the pages of my next book
Out of gratitude, love, a priceless gift to a dear friend,
knowing no earthly fee!

Lying down in bed
across my open window.
The light of the moon beside
hazy and dark outside.
Wavy figures moving to and fro
Sinewy, long, always on the go!
Rustle of the leaves I hear
sway them the branches near
from the gentle wind that gushes.
An occasional bark or meow
distantly far, but my ear it reaches.
There it is again
hiding in the shadows
dancing in between light and harrow.
A figment of my imagination…
care not, for slumber I follow
my head gently hits the pillow!
