Sky Watch Friday

Happy Sky Watch all!!

Trees bending in their brilliance
Whispering secrets between them
Ancient stories of love and life

Connoisseur (O.S.I.)

Hi bloggers,

This is posted for O.S.I. The theme for this week is connoisseur.

He is humorous and sublime
High off air and life
Tasted the rain of the Everglades
And licked his sweat in South America

Made love to sunset’s stunning face
Drunk off rivers of the sea
He napped in blue sky canopies

Heart wide as the African sun
Darkens with the universe above
Beguiled by Alps and snow queens
Imprisoned by mountains and sea beasts

He returns with his poor, sweet face
The children happily embrace
Our connoisseur of the world

Midnight Prayer

It is the darkness, God, and I
Beholding the silver doe moon
Night's face timeless as the stars
Praying lips fluttering in the dark
The silence of earth and time
Beautifully swimming in the mind
I am full of hope and love
My prayer a lullaby of peace

Sands of Time

Hi everyone,

Here's another edition of Thursday Tales. The accompanying photo is by Proud of Being Strange.

My heels traversed the sands of time. The days were never ending, slowly receding like the blue waves of the sea. The sun is full like my youth with its brilliant face. My bare feet sinks beneath the heat. I chase the shadow of me. A youthful, buoyant girl who flaps her hands as wings. The waves splash over our legs and kiss our knees. The young girl drifts beyond my reach, and she shimmers like a fish to the bottomless sea.

My ears were romanced by the flames of love, and I heard the laughter of a distant crush. I swung before him like a figurine. The wind swept up my hair, and he caressed me. I called out to the bronze lovers in the sun, but they ignored me dazzled by a fiery love. My eyes mourned the woman that was me and paused in silence by the still, blue sea.

I drifted off before the setting sun. The plumage of purple, gold, and pink swept in love. I counted the footprints of former me. How I long to remain here for all eternity.

Metamorphosis

Hi bloggers,

Today, I'm participating at Leo's Haiku Heights site. The theme is metamorphosis, which weaves in beautifully with my last poem.

Shedding off her tears
The heart exhales in sunlight
Hidden girl now free

Cocoon (O.S.I.)

Hi bloggers,

This poem is posted for O.S.I.

Spinning silk
Tightly round a tree
Stunning, white tapestry
Mummified darkness
Cocoon softening in day
Mild, yellow wings
Sweeping across the sun
He soared on faith

Sundown
Unraveling
Cocoon
Wings are
Boundless

Barriers

We build barriers
With our words
Cast them high
Upon our tongues
And the silence
Between us
Coils like a river
How long
Can we hide
Behind these walls?

Should the walls
Crumble beneath us
Dare we converse?
