fragile

feeling sad and sorrow
disbelief despair fragility hurt trapped amnesia wrath
silence and defeat……
or hope?
all relentless contenders for my heart
whose elegant hand shall i hold
in this midnight dance of broken dreams
in this midday masquerade of love

Dear Angel of The Darkness,
Won’t you step out from behind the clouds?
This moon, overcome by the sea, is drowned.
Waning, her light cannot
shine
in this sky
without
you.

melt

all caught up in a rapture, a reverie
in poetic flurry
i fall
like snow, adrift
swirling softly in mid-march cold
and then land
right here
on this plum blossom petals pink
open and full
i melt

Courtesy of Facebook memories, the above poem was brought back to me from three years ago when I was still living in Japan. And there was a much older haiku from some eleven or twelve years ago, also inspired by pink blossoms. Unbeknownst to me, I have been a pink flower poet in the making for much longer than I had realized. I now declare henceforth the promulgation of flowetry—flower poetry. 🤭
Wishing you a happy and flower-full spring! 🌸💗🌸

surrender

A little poem for autumn-lovers, and lovers of autumn leaves and love🍁🍂❤️

                                             
                                                      this dance on the horizons
                                                                                   of time
                                                                     of all beginnings and endings
                                                                                                is aflame
                                                     in crimson windblown waves
                                                                       and i 
                                                       i surrender  deep
                                    into the dark and soft soil
                                                                of 
                                                                                  love

into the light

t um blin g 
at the edge of the world 
i fall 
down 
tumbling with the awkward
grace 
of a dancer 
unhinged 
unfettered 
unbridled  
and entirely 
undone 
free 
free now 
and cascading freely
down and
over the edge and at last 
tumbling 
tumbling down 
t um blin g  
down 
and 
and into 
the  l  i   g    h      t
 

wild flower

today i found my heart
in the spirit of a wild flower 
wrapped around
this love
this singular and this sweet love 
delicately
and yet, and yet, and yet
and yet ever so 
inextricably 
 

What love courses through every fiber, cell, and mitochondria of your body?
What is the one precious love you hold on to?
