a secret laid bare
shimmering and breakable
splendor in the grass
icy mystery
moonlight reveals a glimmer
winter’s calling card

splendor in the grass
icy mystery
moonlight reveals a glimmer
winter’s calling card

crazy love consumes
undone by your sublime text
heart eclipses mind
the moment permeates all
and the center cannot hold

Thanks to Reena and RDP for their inspiration. The words nutty, sublime text, and eclipse led to me this ode to crazy modern love, with a shout out to William Butler Yeats (and Joan Didion).
a moon so intense
I imagine heroin
unguarded wonder
my mind immersed in brightness
trying to find my way home

Thanks for the inspiration to FOWC and Tanka Tuesday.
buried deep inside
embers turn to ash and bone
waiting for a spark
rekindled love fans the flames
the candle burns with fury

Today’s FOWC (CANDLE) and the WDYS photo prompt brought to mind fury and love and buried secrets… thus my bit of verse. Thanks to both for the inspiration.
draped in velvet fog
filmy thoughts and fingertips
a touch forgotten
reveal that moment
starlight strips back the curtain
the crowd roars your name

I love to try and create meaning with minimal words. Did I? Who knows?!
Thanks for the great inspiration.
