He was the ripple That started the tidal wave Engulfing my heart. #BSPP50 #ripple #haiku #senryu

Do not file my ilk whatever you think of me I am so much more #haikufeels #file

Filed to memory Each tiny detail of you Every freckle. #haikufeels #file #senryu #haiku

As he took my hand That Saturday in the park Buds bloomed around us. #bedroomeyes #SaturdayInThePark #haiku #senryu @oldsoulprose.bsky.social

Sometimes, it's a valid show of love to leave to evade the gauntlet of despair that precedes the end, cause limited damage to be single, better than to be in the weeds of misery, when hope's foliage blooms soon enough only better to have known way back when, before life forced the lesson.

The magic occurs when her pen meets the paper and her lips touch mine #haikufeels #occur

On route to that place somewhere between dusk & midnight under the moon's lush light, where illicit delights are unlocked where a love, immense, can be made flesh in deeds intense, all cover-ups stripped souls & bodies bared the place where spiritual fire ignites carnal desires— meet me there.

'mid uncertainty He is the sureness I need Lighthouse in the storm. #BSPP50 #uncertainty #haiku #senryu

My minuscule heart Struggles to contain all these Infinite feelings. #vs365 #minuscule #senryu #haiku

I flatten my heart Fold it into a letter And send it to you. #haikufeels #flatten #senryu #haiku

If we cannot kiss let the sun be my lips warming the softness of your cheeks If I can't hold you let a blanket be my arms wrapped gently around your shoulders If we cannot talk let the breeze be my mouth whispering words into your heart Dearest one, feel my love all around you. #poem

Transmuting my kiss To a warm summer breeze Sent straight to your lips. #BSPP50 #Transmute #haiku #senryu

Come your heavy heart I will carry it with mine ‘tis but love’s honor #haikufeels #carry

Yearning for your warmth Like a new spring shoot reaching Toward the hot sun. #BSPP50 #yearn #haiku #senryu

Though you're missed, even lovers need time away, space to feel our desire. #bedroomeyes #evenloversneedtimeaway #haiku #senryu @oldsoulprose.bsky.social

Let me hold your pain Let me carry your burdens Let me kiss your wounds. #haikufeels #carry #senryu #haiku

𝐆𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞 Into the basket of my heart, I gather all the things that bring you closer to me so that when we're apart, I may take them back out, arranging them closely as though your very arms did surround me. #mpprompt

Sudden gust of wind her cute green hat flew away she knows how to flirt #DailyHaikuPrompt #wind

I've never seen the moon gaze at you as I do— while always watching she looks on everyone I've never known rain to fall just for you, though it often pours it's to the rivers it flows Yet I have lit the night just to find your eyes And I have cried rivers longing for your arms. #FromOneLine 393

Showed him the scars, said I want to know what love is He kissed every one.   #bedroomeyes #IWantToKnowWhatLoveIs #haiku #senryu @oldsoulprose.bsky.social

I lay within your arms as if held by strong & gentle wings I got lost within your kiss as if the heavens themselves, pressed softly against my lips I surrendered without fear, as if my faith were a guiding light straight to your heart. #sensewrds Prompt 184 Cozy Doubtful Feathers

#poemsabout #undressed

In wanting sunlight her lips ripen for a kiss bursting forth with joy #DailyHaikuPrompt #ripen

In your mind's eye, if you see me walking by, I'm dreaming of you too. #bedroomeyes #ifyouseemewalkingby #haiku #senryu @oldsoulprose.bsky.social

It's funny the way light can dance & play— how it flickers through the pane it's lovely the way light might not be light at all but hope— flitting in at the edges of despair it's wonderful how light can be not light at all but you— the way your soul shines through the window of my mind. #poem

In the day's details Your soft resonance lingers Gentle waves of calm. #BSPP50 #Resonance #haiku #senryu

Thoughts like fleeting clouds blowing in and drifting out you, blue sky above #DailyHaikuPrompt #cloud

When your eyes linger Stanzas etched across my heart More than words can say. #bedroomeyes #morethanwordscansay #haiku #senryu @oldsoulprose.bsky.social

Beneath a patchwork dawn I walk cobbled streets & think of you— where are you now? Dawn light speckles the air— each fleck a possibility It's hard ever keeping in check past, present & future— you were in one but not the others & as daylight grows the past recedes again & I walk on. #sensewrds

I run my fingers over the soft ridges of your palm, the comfort there a port to empathy— all resentment any hatred drifts away restoring order to my soul as duties loom tall & imposing, it helps to remember that my purpose is greater than a list of chores— connection— simply being, matters more.

A quiet ache stirs in offbeat dreamers longing to be with their loved ones' surface within them, they wait for the delightful magic of lambent luna to bend the will of hearts &restore the order of love in the subtly sensual night #vss365 #solseed #inkmine #BSPP50 #Foxprose #emoetry #retroartprompt

Such a dazzling glare To look into someone's soul See the beauty there. #haikufeels #glare #senryu #haiku

The tenor of my heart wavered, an offbeat key, when you thundered in in your quiet way, gently seismic your instincts knew it wasn't raucousness would make me swoon, my ear more attuned to subtle cues— your quirky mind, your witty ways created the quake that subtly shook me off my feet. #inkmine

Under her warm glare exposed and vulnerable she sees the real me #haikufeels #glare

I should challenge my memory, the way it files in detail when soldiers of fate attacked with devastating force, leaving bones of chances lost but not the vactions or happy hours reading in the yard, adventures taken, chances won hard to ascend to a better mood when my mind only replays gloom.

The clock ticked close to ten when your eyes locked on to mine— that devilish shine you kissed the soft, pale skin of my slender neck & right there & then I began to ascend to that blissful sacred city of us— no knock upon the door, or anything more could interrupt, the splendour— of our ascent.

I quavered, a leaf, And you, the great sturdy tree Holding fast to me. #BSPP50 #Quaver #haiku #senryu

north wind blusters and batters against my window - thoughts of you crowd in #DailyHaikuPrompt #haiku

Love me as the sun loves the dawn, learn me as the earth loves the rain… #RomanticSaturday #Nature #ArtInNature #photography #Roses

The shore could forget the waves were the seas to drain away the dawn could lose sight of the light if the sun declined to shine & clouds might not miss the rain if ever a long drought came But no matter, the passing time or anything that might arise I could never forget your eyes. #poem #poetry

Mind’s eye ideal ‘tis a poet’s privilege yet love needs no words #haikufeels #ideal

Don’t think apartness breaks what hearts have made. The sun will span all space to warm the stone, So too does love traverse each distant shade, For I am with you when you are alone. #vss365 1/5

At the airport, our eyes found each other, his arms around me in an instant as the planes arrived and left, and as the crowd swirling past— we paused like the shutter of a camera left open for too long and in those seconds we felt for lifetimes. #poem #poetry #SkyPoets #BlueSkyPoetry

On that one wild night We stole all the unclaimed hours And lived for lifetimes. #weirdmicro #unclaimedhours #haiku #senryu

Maybe there'll come a day when you & I don't talk anymore maybe by the time one of us reads this that day has already come so this is a reminder that you were my light, my friend, my heart, my North Star & I hope that you still are. #mpprompt

With you, emotions Surge in a murmuration— I feel everything. #BSPP50 #murmuration #haiku #senryu

We didn't buy in to the chronic cult of forever— we wanted each other for however long time allowed perhaps wistful to think the hefty wounds our fate inflicted could be treated by retreating to our own private nest— but to test the salve of faith, the balm of love? a risk we were willing to take.

In the mirror it is not me I see but you— the lovely way you look at me As dusk falls— within the sun's setting glow, I perceive the heat of you In the comfort of a blanket, spread across me as I read, it's your arms I feel You— there imbued in each & every thing— my love, You. #sensewrds 181
