Want Me Regardless: Romantic ConTEXTing Haiku

I just wanted you
To want me regardless of
Opportunities.

Marvel not at my/
poetic silence, ‘cuz the/
bully pulpit’s closed.

Noisy kids in church:/
SHUT UP! I’m trying to be/
a better Christian!

It’s hard to learn that/
something you thought would be real/
easy is so hard.

What happens if you’re/
warned not to halt and your walk/
pace is nearly stopped?

I’m still alone when/
she won’t phone from Salt Lake or /
San Antone. I moan.
OR
Why moan?

Go to bed the way /
you should. From now on you can /
sleep well and be good.

The full moon is out. /
Otis croons soulful romance./
I don’t even care.

How long
must I longingly
wait long
for you to longingly
long
for me to be long
and belong?
