Bruised Orange

she wrings the morning
from her paint soaked dress, dreaming
dragonflies hover
becoming sunlight dancing
vast, her fields of flowers bloom

Adapting a previous piece (of the same name) to fit the tanka form. Experimenting with something new.

The Rain

The Rain

Today I got the urge to stand out in the pouring rain.
In the hope that maybe,
It might wash away the pain.
Wash away my sadness,
Wash away my fears,
And besides...in the pouring rain,
No one can see your tears.

Wrote this a while ago on the spot one early rainy morning when i was feeling a little down. And yes it's a little bit generic, and not the best I know-but hey i'm a novice! Criticism and thoughts etc appreciated :)

Empty sheets

Empty sheets

Like an albatross around my neck it sits in the room.
Devoid of warmth, lacking a purpose.
It defeats me every time I enter.
The clean white sheets greet me with a mocking crispness.
Clean, virginal, untouched, unused sheets.
My energy and resolve are depleting,
what I nearly was is fleeting.
Time to concede these empty sheets are never to be filled.
Time to retreat, concede defeat and take the cradle apart.

Lust at first sight.

Lust at first sight.

I don't believe in love at first sight,
I believe in lust a first sight.
You cant see my soul in a passing glance.

Midnight thoughts.

Color

I once knew a guy
Who had a strange reply
If I would talk about a certain friend
He would say "oh you referring to that black guy."
And if I said about another
The color descriptions came out further
So I decided to teach him a lesson
A few things about color.

I invited him to dinner
With friends from different races
And when asked to be introduced
I began this way.

I am pink, my friend here is white
She's yellow, he's red, over there are brown and black.
Now with the introductions done, could tell me which color are you?

All I got a was jaw dropping colorless face staring back at me.

Lol...Something different I've tried fir the first time. Hope you like it.

eagle
i am
the
one who
was created to breathe the atmosphere
of the angels and ride the storm clouds like
they were white horses, yes, i was made to catch
rainbows in my sharp talons, i who am strong will
catch your fall.       You who are weak          will trust me
for i want                nothing more than             to be your
Savior.                              I will hide you                              under
my                                     wings. You will                                    be
mine and i
will never
leave you nor
forsake you. Ever.
World without end
