as tomorrow calls
no longer under his spell
a heart returns home

Welcome back to Sue’s Write Photo Challenge Thanks for the photo inspiration and word (return) Glad you’re feeling better. Plus thanks to Linda’s JusJoJan Challenge for the perfect word (spell) to finish my mood.
in hope we inscribe
the page where the heart speaks words
writ where all can see

Thanks to Putting My Feet in the Dirt for the beautiful phrase: the page where the heart speaks words.
as the world transforms
two minds and two hearts connect
synchronicity

Thanks to Colleen. This week’s challenge required a poem using synonyms only for the word prompts of transition and harmony so I substituted in transforms and synchronicity. Head over to her page for details and some great writing.
Enflamed and engorged
My heart beats a bloody red
Echoing desires
For the delights of lost nights
Or the release of found days
This Tanka was inspired by two separate challenges. First, I love the phrase “echoing desires,” which was our challenge phrase from Putting My Feet in the Dirt. Secondly, Reena’s challenge to think about perspective got me thinking about the complicated idea of desire. Desire is very much a two- (or more) sided emotion. Individually, desire can lead to ecstasy but it also can leave us searching for an escape. As a collective, one person’s delight can be another person’s nightmare. In some ways, it’s all about perspective. So, those thoughts translated as this piece. Hope you like it (or not) … cause that really is about your perspective 😉
