A Haggle of Hai-ku

I went to heaven, 
but the weight of all the love...
pulled me back to Earth!

I can't remember,
just one time without trouble...
and no end in sight!

The mystics suffer,
naked upon tall mountains...
in case they see god!

The color of blue,
became my favorite color...
when first our eyes met!

Even the leaves of gold,
must vie to rest in gutters...
on the sides of roads!
