Mother Nature’s Commands

Crimson, 
ochre, yellow
robes of Mother nature
catch zephyrs loaded with verglas 
even 
when the wind speaks soft syllables
leaves comply, drifting down 
to honor the 
commands.

I See the Moon Nymphs

Moon smiles 
through my window,
shines brighter to entice
I marvel at his pristine eyes.
spellbound,
I look at his glorious light  
and admire the nymphs who 
glide on moonbeams,
with grace.

Thanks to Willow and Colleen for the inspiration to write syllabic poetry.

I chose to write two butterfly cinquains.

Willow has offered two subjects: The October Hunter’s Moon or the aging of the year.  In fact, you can use those two prompts literally, or you can use one or the other or both and explain in your poetry how they make you feel.

Thank you for reading my poetry.

A Connection

Just One
treasured moment
when silence spoke to him
and I stood muted by his art
thinking
how colors merged in the water
each stroke – a masterpiece
one connection –
same dream.

hazy sky echoes
songs of our favorite haunt
silent love saunters
remnants evoke sighing sounds
muffled in the hues of time.

hushed by static time
tea cups whisper our secrets
a long list of vows
only clouds could understand
the fury of our passion.

Magical Wings

trapped by boundaries
I watch from the window panes
waiting for a while,
a mild moment of respite
can anyone curb my dreams?

***

my magical wings
flutter despite the wild storms
don’t dare to touch them
they emit embers unseen,
unimaginable gift!

teary-eyed clouds burst
wind rides on the wings of nymphs
rain-drops dance with glee.

we soothe the parched earth
the sand rises up to greet us
a fleeting embrace.
