Legacy.
 Jul 2020 Polaris

We leave parts of us in the words we write
For our present selves to live and believe in
For our future selves to wonder
For our past selves to be remembered

-- Isn't that beautiful?

Writing lines like conversations
That live on as long as they're read
Never washed away from the imprints of history
The greatest things left unsaid

Reading minds from long ago
A place no one else will know
But see, in writing you get to be
Yesterday, today, tomorrow and forever

-- A legacy.
My hand aches to write.

She of moonfire
Entranced by her sleeping prince
Hands on heart, serene


This haiku is dedicated to Selene, Goddess of the Moon.
I love Selene for many reasons but what cemented my love for her was none other than Sailor Moon!
I love how their story is depicted in the manga and anime, Usagi and Selene will always have a special place in my heart.
Of course I grew up with the myth of her crushing ******* Endymion, Zeus granting her wish to keep the Shepard ageless while in eternal sleep and she sired 50 daughters which really weirded me out. So Ive somewhat rewritten the myth in mind.
Even so, Im grateful for Selene.
As much as I'm a logophile and biblophile , I'm very much a selenophile ^-^

Be back tomorrow with another one!
Much love,
Lyn 💜

Lonely.

On nights like this,
I stare blankly into earth,
Watching your dreams.
Tears in my eyes
Cause a new day will dawn on you
And you'll have done nothing,
To get closer to the one in your dreams.
If only I had a chance to love like all of you but I am here to wish you goodnight and smile you to sleep. These nights are lonely for me, sometimes I wish I was sun.

Pain.

I remember the first time I saw you,
I sank into those beautiful pools,
Felt the love in your touch,
Saw the love in your eyes,
You were my angel
I'd go through hell to have you.

But there's no hell,
I can't have you,
And that's my greatest pain.

Love and war's eternal kismet
are forever bound
They are hand
in hand


Still under the weather but feeling somewhat better today!
I hope to get back to some more women of myth poems soon
Hopefully after this week passes, I can resume...
My nerves are still raw on the surface.
Stay safe and well everyone
Much love
Lyn 💜

Fingertips linger upon skin
I trace my answers
As if my hands are mouths
Tongues lapping at the salt
The sunrise rests upon you
Layers of pink, orange and yellow
Glisten upon your face
And my gaze
Falls into your eyes
Your name
The horizon upon my tongue
And our love, I devour
Slowly eating with every touch
By the train tracks she stood
Beauty like no other
An uncovering of a pure soul
Priceless jewel of the night

I found you
My early morning gold
Your heart
An immeasurable value

What a beauty
A gift for my happiness
Your wonderful splendor
A bringer of everyday's delight

I have encountered wonder
A feeling I wish to stay
My angel from above
You are my one true happiness

Written by Tosan Oluwakemi Thompson
This poem speaks of a person who encountered love by the train tracks.
