Inspired by Bukowski’s- the man with the beautiful eyes…
Take #1
with beautiful eyes
and childlike innocence you
cannot see darkness
Take #2
with St Lucy’s eyes
held in your palms - together
you weep in despair

Today I am off to get a new tattoo and I started thinking about the reasons we get inked. For me there is a long tradition of tattooing in my culture (NZ Maori). Both my brothers and I have tattoos.
For me tattoos capture a time, head-space and place and I am really happy with each tattoo I have added. I am really looking forward to the new one which celebrates my love of teapots and birds!
Haiku
as the needle bites -
your love will last a lifetime
inked into my skin…
Haiku #1 22/7/08
a box for goodwill
each piece of chipped china
a memory of you…

Bike lockers made me wonder about lockers to leave your heart in…
keep your heart safe in a heart locker - keys available at counter…
love in the time of Web 2.0
love tokens….
email
text messages
status changes
song lyrics and haiku
a simple love letter - to tell you how deep, how wide my universe is now….
haiku #1
in your arms tonight…
learning to love again
chasing away doubt
haiku #2
mascara running -
eyes filled with unwanted tears
swallowing the pain…
I watched the Nick Cave video yesterday it is so moving and the lyrics make my heart sore. These haiku are inspired by Dr Nick Cave.
I have just invested in a new teapot it is lovely… a zero japanese pot in a very pale green. It is a beautiful shape. Choosing a colour was difficult because they were all very nice. I love the ritual of tea making. Since I decided my new tattoo will have a teapot theme I am really interested in the shape of teapots.
Haiku #1
warm heart, warm teapot
the joy of nice cuppa -
sitting here with you…
walk along the pier
the sound of metal wind chimes
ringing in the breeze…
17 Syllable sentence #1
cacti clinging to inhospitable embankment making a home…
Haiku #1
time for a drink, half remembered songs haunt his sober hours - again….
Haiku #2
biting her lip and…
waiting for his swollen touch
causes sweet torment…
#1
your silhouette falls
across the covers as you
reach over to me…
#2
dialogue of love…
over coffee in a mall
eyes filled with longing
#3
sweet pea climbing high
over brick - fills the garden
with heavenly scent
