Poets And Storytellers United + Earthweal OLW # 105

the lovers plunge

into the waves

 under a silent glittering moon

no clouds no danger 

a calm sea sanctuary on a midsummer's night

better than a dinner on the pier

WHIRLIGIG # 357

Chelsea Piers" by Joseph O. Legaspi: lover, piers, dinner, midsummer, moon, clouds, waves, glitter, sanctuary, danger, silent, plunges 



there was no rhyme or reason

there were no tell tale signs

of why there was going to be

an unseasonal storm of this magnitude

an echo of last winters chaos

 howling winds and decimated forests

it was a calm warm night

the moon full and dazzling bright

her grandmother saw that small bone

lying in an old lambs tongue tin in the dirt

she stopped dead in her tracks

we knew something was up

she knew

we all knew she knew

this was not the first time

Impromptu Verse...CARPE DIEM HAIKU KAI

heavenly music
resonates through the neighborhood
early sunrise
birds praising their creator
I embrace my love

roaring down the beach
at the height of winter waves
mist clouds

sprinkling sea spray over the rocks


 

Carpe Diem Weekend Meditation # 100... Waves of Love

 


teardrops fall
in the middle of the night
no more hope

the song of birds, a new day rises
waves of love warm a world in fear

© Chèvrefeuille,  

waves of love
wash over her
like a low tide

lapping gently
at the water's edge

Hold Me Now


 

 

 

 


 

 

forgive me
for being  brash but
i'm told that it's best
not to hide feelings
i miss you
i need you
you have unlocked
the door to my heart
with your warmth
with your words
with your look
don't stay outside
in the cold
come inside
hold me now



THE WHIRLIGIG # 356.....THIS WEEK'S WORDS come from "Beloved" by E. Ethelbert Miller: forgive, outside, look, told, stay, words, need, heart, miss, warmth, unlock, door
