Into a desert of yearning
we wandered, you & me,
drinking of saffron tea
'til under its spell
our souls
soon f e l l

we walked the sands
hand in hand, enchanted,
& amid the swirling dunes
we succumbed
to love

until, with you
in that dreamlike place
I wished to stay

always.

we, us
this fertile crescent
the moon's moon
an ocean
among the stars

The tree fell and with it
my eyes lowered to dust
I would trace your name
to be immortal
if I could

#WildWalkPrompt #seashell #Emoetry #agony #vssmagic #temperature #vss365 #ink #2wordprompt #shout #toward

A seashell held to my ear
& there I hear the whoosh
of waves

like my own heart undulating,
& in that beat a kind of agony—
a shout moving toward me
then retreating
back out

& I feel compelled to turn
the pain to ink
as if the searing temperature
of my soul may be stilled—

though it never
is.

Sometimes love happens
by chance or by happenstance
yet love is but love

Gazing at the stars
feeds my cosmic fixation
Always chasing dreams.

Came from the future
Stole clothes, boots, motorcycle
And he will be back.

When you came along
my soul's deep silence broken
as if a tree fell.

Lambs jump, stems sprouting
After winter's long silence
The world springs to life.

Your soul lit my dreams
rain swapped with spectral rainbows
your arms, my repose.

Somewhere, someone has
Upset the wrong butterfly,
Wings flapped in anger.

Getting lost in hope
visions of what could happen
daydream travelling.

Hearts slow to open
like delayed blooms, yet then, all

Night can stretch long
before morning light
chases it away

& night can be made
of many things
like my eyes
making shapes
of shadows,
or the past's
dark echo,
or shame
that clings

& light can be made
of many things,
like a dog's tail wagging,
or a gleaming ocean,
or his kind eyes
looking into mine

#Emoetry #wounded #vssmagic #floor #vss365 #arm #2wordprompt #realistic #beak

A wounded soul
sees the wounds
in another,
knowing that feeling
of something missing

like a bird
fluttering to floor
with a broken wing,
beak blindly pecking
for something lost
that can't
be restored

perhaps a cure
is not realistic
but caring arms
& ears that listen
can be as healing
as any sling.

Our two souls entwined
like cozy swans in a pond
the closest of bonds.

Of your terrain, I'm
an intrepid traveller,
mapping every inch.

You are a calm breeze
sent to soothe the howling winds
raging within me.

He hides in a grey tide,
in a storm’s monochrome,
on the shady side
of a hill
at midday.

But he is a glistening sea,
he is lightning's radiance,
he is a hillside strewn
with wildflowers
in every
single
shade.

#poem #poetry

Ignore my soft heart
for it knows only to beat
for love infinite

#haikufeels #ignore

No vases meant for her
no flowers cut in love’s name
leave them in the field
