One Shot Wednesday

within this moment
there is only
moonlight and us
and you spin, spin, spin me

with woven crowns
of starlit violets
the ballerina and the prince
and you spin, spin, spin me

upon summer's last breath
a whispered plea
one more warm midnight
and you spin, spin, spin me

into the darkness
we dance a path of light
our happy ever after
and you spin, spin, spin me

Artwiculate - Flotsam

piece by piece
he salvaged flotsam
you left to drift-
piece by piece
he rebuilt me

scattered sand
the flotsam of
our shattered hourglass-
how did you and i
run out of time?

Haiku Challenge - Remember

my lungs remember
to sigh for you even on
nights when i forget

Haiku Challenge - Craze

poetry dances
deep within, a word whirlwind-
i feel the craze stir

A Side Serving Of Gogyohka

you wrap
your words
about my eyes
and blind me
with your imagery

tired of the wind's
butterfly kisses
i run away to begin
a freckled affair
with the afternoon sun

Haiku Word Game - Brilliance, Night, Fragile

dawn's pale brilliance
stars cling a fragile silver
last moments of night

a fragile crescent
rises upon night's coat tails
moonlit brilliance

Haiku Word Game - Mantra, Red, Appetite

shredding red paper
hearts, a mantra to curb her
appetite for love
