Missing You

So, my amazing girlfriend is in California for the summer participating in a research program doing matrix completion problems and having a blast. Unfortunately I'm in Washington and wishing I was down there with her. And it's looking like I won't be having any time to make a road trip south as I had wanted to do seeing as how I have no money to pay for it due to a lack of a job. So I get to just cheer her on from here and look forward to when I get to see her again in August. If you couldn't tell by now, the theme of my Haiku this time are about the difficulties and loneliness we feel while being apart from the ones we love, while the hope we have of the time we get to spend with them in the future gives us strength.

Missing You

Your touch, your laughter,
The warmth as you embrace me,
Your beautiful eyes;

These I remember,
These I hold within my heart,
My dearest treasure;

These I remember,
As I wait to be with you,
These feelings of love.

Okay, so, it was a little mushier than what I expected at first, but turned out pretty good. Here's wishing her the best of luck and fun during her summer. Comments are appreciated, and no title suggestions are needed this time, which means I'm doing fairly well recently with titles.

Summer fun

So this summer is turning out to be pretty awesome. I've been able to hang out with friends and just have a good time in general. So I don't really have any specific themes to start with for these Haiku, just going to use summer experiences as the themes I think. All right, free write of Haiku, go!

Summer Bliss

Sitting here with friends,
Relaxing the day away,
This is summer bliss.

Untitled

Crackling, sparkling light,
Dancing flames, glowing embers,
Starry sky above;

Quiet, gentle laughs,
Sharing pleasant company,
Quiet summers night.

Well, that went fairly well. A little shorter than normal, but still good. Hope everyone enjoys these Haiku. As always, comments and title suggestions are appreciated.

The start of summer

Okay, so it's a little late on the start of summer, but hey, beginnings start where they may. Anyway, I've been meaning to start writing a little more, so I figured today was as good as any. I'm just gonna go with one for today, but hopefully I can keep myself motivated to do at least one a week, possibly more. So, this one is kind of inspired by the daily struggles we overcome, and what keeps us going through this chaotic world we live in. I think everyone at some point feels like there's no end to things, and yet we keep going because we all have something to keep struggling for. Whether that be friends, family, a sense of duty, or whatever, that reason is there. So, yeah, hope you like it.

Strength (Title by Laura Miller)

A slash, a thrust, forward,
Enemies come from all sides,
All fall at the bite;

Weariness o'ertakes,
Shoulders bear the awful weight,
Of endless lost souls;

Thoughts swirling within,
He looks up and remembers,
Who he's fighting for;

Loved ones far behind,
Left in safety and shelter,
With hope to return,

A breath to steady,
Resolve set, going forward,
Plunging through chaos.

All right, this is one that I'd really like a title for, so if anyone has a suggestions I would really like to hear it. Thanks, and as always comments are appreciated.
