intimacy (troiku) Daily Moments Sept 11/17

daisy of passion
surrendering sweet nectar
hummingbird’s bliss

daisy of passion
dancing in the wind
free spirited

surrendering sweet nectar
giving is more pleasing
unconditional

hummingbird’s bliss
symbiosis in nature
pure intimacy

I received  artwork today from a friend and one carving spoke to my muse.

words laced together
angels delicate hands

clouds
move in tandem
clearing the sky

a million stars trail
glow of the milky way

reflecting pastel colours

butterfly
tastes each moist
blossom

sparrows sing a chorus
lauding the universe

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN

Words from such a talented poet…Wendell Brown; visit his blog to comment on this moving poem.

Wendell A. Brown's avatarWhere Words Daily Come Alive.com

Who will wipe away my many tears,
As for my dear love one I now weep
Who will be there to help me rest easy
While at night I try to fall fast asleep

Who will embrace me ever so tightly
Or who can ever take your place,
Who will say my name like you did
Placing a soft smile upon my face

Where are you now my sweet flower
When I need you most in my life
Where is the sound of your laughter
That always made each day so right

For my eyes grow tired from weeping
And my knees are weak from prayer
And I cannot let go of what I lost
When you were taken away from here

For every time the door bell rings
Or the telephone announces a call
I jump in expectation with a hope
That from my life you did not fall

Daily Moments – September 10 2017 shade (troiku)

Since today is World Suicide Prevention Day, my writing today may attempt to spread this awareness.

sunflowers
swaying
posing like a star

sunflowers
casting shadows
shading old wounds

swaying
seeking the light
from dark places

posing like a star
yet, hangs on to dear life
falling leaves

Haiku Horizons Prompt: Shade

on stubbornness (troiku)

(c) Clr’16

a troiku

you say black
forever trapped
dogged old ways

you say black
another may say white
same old debates

forever trapped
dead
before your time

dogged old ways
life’s diversity
lacking shades of grey

standing by her mate,
yesterday’s secrets scream
caked with Maybelline

standing by her mate
poised
submissive

yesterday’s secrets scream
not a soul can hear
driving her insane

caked with Maybelline
years of practice
hiding his fury

praying for the south (troiku)

waiting
like a numb caterpillar
news from the south

waiting
imagination
runs wild

like a numb caterpillar
my heart
stops

news from the south
hoping
prayers are answered

bonheur du jour
dégustent les rayons du soleil
jacinthe des bois

jacinthe des bois
têtes souples au crépuscule
champ de bleu

~~~
as the sun sets
in humble reverence
bluebells bow

laughter (troiku)

© Caroline Michaud Photographe

long ago memories
lighthearted and free spirited
always made her smile

long ago memories
pretending to be so confident
trembling in her skin

lighthearted and free spirited
if only she’d caught this virus
life is beautiful

always made her smile
belly laughs
set her free

Daily Moments – September 6  2017  tropical casualties (Solo no renga)

 

earth wind and water
vying for control
egos sinking

man waits in a puddle
feeble solicitude

butterfly flutters
birds raise their nests
ants digging deeper

creation pleading
Mother Nature mourns

shedding
antiseptic tears
in prayer we wait
