Enchantment of stars

Enchanting

Stars dance across the sky

Your golden eyes shimmer in moonlight

Luminous

Starlight outshines shadows

The light of your smile brings such joy

Radiant

The songs of glowing moons

Your voice echoes across the oceans

Glimmering

Against the dark window

Your heart gives me hope of lasting love

- Decided to try writing a Parallelogram de Crystalline poetry being highlighted at dVerse MTB: A Lover as second nature

north, south, east, west

under the north star

she guides souls to freedom

cloaked by night’s darkness

in the south of France

they enjoy sipping red wine

under skies of blue

as the east wind blows

the clouds above turn to black

storm makes her approach

along the west coast

we watch colorful sunsets

the moon greets our eyes

nest

chirping birds

her morning song

they flew away

leaving her heart

a vacant nest

wherever you are

wherever you are, love,

I hope you find me soon

before my heart turns

to snow and ice

take me in your arms,

just like in the movies,

stare into my eyes until

sunsets kiss away tears

let me slumber in your

shadow, until I get lost

in dreams filled with love

and are never-ending

- Inspired by dVerse MTB: O Apostrophe!

falling

falling

I didn’t know what was happening

I only thought I had lost my footing

falling

I saw the clear blue sky above me

as the clouds became smaller and smaller

falling

the air was leaving my lungs

I couldn’t call out to you to catch me

falling

became so peaceful that my fear

vanished and my mind was at ease

falling

is the last thing I remembered but you,

my parachute, opened before impact

- Written for dVerse Meeting the Bar: Repetition

a morning with you

a morning with you

beats any holiday

cuddling in your arms is,

dare I say, heavenly

everyone may say I’m a

fool in love, but that’s okay

- Written for dVerse Meeting The Bar:School Days where we are tasked in writing an alphabet sestet.  This was a bit harder than I imagined, but I imagined to come up with this one.   

evening whispers

we whisper into the breeze

as we lounge under palm trees

at nightfall we greet the stars

and the moon becomes all ours

- Written for dVerse Meeting the Bar: Tanaga poetry

the old house

the old house

held such dark secrets

in shadows

they all lurk

until the witching hour

to open my door

the belief

in ghosts never held

a strong hold

within me

until the summer night when

I smelled your perfume

it was you –

no doubt in my mind

through gateways

you returned

what it to check up on us

or just to pass time?

or maybe

you felt something dark

taking hold

in my mind

your presence was able to

push darkness away

- Written for dVerse Meeting The Bar: Shadorma poem

valentine

funny valentine

is what I dreamed you would be

instead you became

my lost valentine that slipped

out my hands, forever gone

- Written for dVerse MTB - brevity

I wanted you

I always watched you from afar

like a star that I could not reach

how I wanted to be in your light

and be the one in your heart

I wanted you to look at me

like you looked at her, who was not me

how my heart ached every night

that you were unattainable

then the stars somehow aligned

and we crossed paths once more

this time I caught your eyes

now in your arms, made up dreams

becoming reality, so I close my eyes

to imprint this to memory

- Written for dVerse Meeting the Bar - Neruda and the free verse sonnet

silent protest

as you held my hand

we took our last stand

for us

and our own plan

was to save our land

but thus

we could not withstand

and force to disband

sans fuss
