I am struck speechless
your words they sparkle
with the love
that such words hold.
When it is raindrops fall
thoughts stray back
to a day on the beach
when we locked eyes
and said I love you
for the first time.
When it snows
visions of the past
walking down Oxford
street we did
arm in arm
bathed in night lights.
when a clear night forms
and one can look up
and see the stars shining down
my mind wanders to the night
on the hill
laying back and gazing
towards the heavens
and then your eyes
which made the beauty of stars
pale in comparison.
All of these I dream at night
untill the day
I can return
and take you in my arms.

I have no doubt that any haiku I try would come out somewhat strangled, but freeform poems seem to work
