mirth drenched moments 
that could never lose luster
dainty daffodils
pour passion with the dew of
eternal togetherness.

***

moments cling to me
walls swallow echoes of past
spring whispers linger
ticking clock reminds me of
the time’s tyranny. 

***

memories numb me
swallowed by the tide of time.
I study each wave
and step into the glum hours
to slide on the silky edges.

Watery Secrets #WDYS

Watery Secrets

Lilting water of a river
Flows like my thoughts
It glides as well as calms
Even the wind slows down to rest, here.

The sun hides his gold in this water
He knows how it will blend in 
to lend soft hues
that shimmer each morning.

Solitude becomes blissful here
Mother Nature caresses my hair
Branches bend in her support,
blending my angst into the water.

Dreams become magical here,
Acquire the fluidity of water.
Get time to change their shape
just like the complacent clouds.

A Cute Visitor

A yellow warbler –
messenger of happiness
heralds spring season

wears colorful coat,
sings songs of eternal hope
in bright, high-pitched tone

a cute visitor
sings: ‘sweet sweet sweet…I’m so sweet’
the voice of the wild

charms the birdwatchers,
prefers shrubby areas
nocturnal migrant.

I sit
in the bubbles 
some blessings come like that 
I dive into the bright colors, 
to choose
the one that matches your love for me
and calmly watch the joy 
that glistens on 
your face.

***

Surfing
enhances the fun,
summer heat dissipates 
just like the illusionary
colors
that bestow bubbly enchantment
so many rainbows dance
A healing touch –
freedom!

Thanks to Yvette and Colleen for the inspiration to write syllabic poetry. I’ve written two Butterfly Cinquains. 

The Butterfly Cinquain is an unrhymed, nine-line syllabic poem. It has 2-4-6-8-2-8-6-4-2 syllables per line.

Waves or Stars? #WDYS

Waves or Stars?

Waves wear rare pearls
Created by a celestial dame
They bounce with the morning rays,
echo with the rushing ripples,
Sending a shiver across the shore.

Waves hold the stars,
A silvery liquid sparkles and flows
through the dark alleyways of my heart
To thaw the emotional distrust,
to purge my shadowy eyes.

A thousand stories
linger on the beaming waves
Eager to spillover.
An anchor 
for time traps in this maelstrom.

Waves hold the power
To allure, to calm, to tranquilize
Waves hold the light,
The light that wraps around my heart
to guide, to let go.
