kiss of the sunlight
the rose bushes turn scarlet
nature’s affection
~
nature’s affection
birds lunging to horizon
gentle blowing wind
~
And inspired from Kristjaan’s love haiku,
shadows of the night
hands held under the black cloak
hiding affection
~
a love is lovely
let it fly high with free wings
accept affection

bound together with
the fiber of emotions
white deutzias
.
free flowering shrub
exuberant in spring sun
blooming deutzias
.
aura of heavens
surrounded by deutzias
hoisted hands, eyes closed

Hello bloggers,
I got a wonderful opportunity to work with the lovely Merbear and you know what, we ended up creating this poem together. Please read and share your views.
leaving for her journey
She was binding her hair in a bun
Readying herself for the journey ahead
Which may take her to distances unknown
Bring in her the sense of being alive
She had never felt ever before
She was leaving behind all her fears
For the adventure that awaited her
.
Her stomach coiled like a snake
Past torments licking at her heels
Dare she run so fast and proud?
Her life not worthy of a fairy tale
She sighs so loudly she startles herself
Trapped emotions needing to meet air
Praying to breathe air
.
The stream of tears fell down her cheeks
Which she didn’t even care to wipe away
She was looking for a happy ending
Which she had to find herself in her own way
She picked up her hand bag of happy memories
And moved ahead towards her cage door
And pushed it open, it wasn’t locked
.
Desperate echoes of her soul
Beckoning to her aching heart
Calling her to where she needs to be
She trembles with trepidation
Limbs weakened by the struggle
Her life never drawn before
By her own personal design
.
She was never meant to be free
Doubts crossing her mind
When she had just seen the sunshine
But she would never return back
And thence, she flies away
Its true leaving is difficult but
Once you have left, it is easy not to turn back
.
Then the breeze whispered her name
A lullaby warm and soothing
Like balm for her battered soul
Bringing her back to herself
Oh, she thought she had been lost!
Smiling inside herself with pure joy
For her true path was known all along

Running into deep waters
full of yellow green moss
drenching my hair
coating my skin
crying out loud within
staying there forever
away from the clean world
where I do not belong
becoming my reality
accepting my truth
be free in the end
there in that mess
surrounded by my destiny
finally being who I am
running into deep waters
I hope I can
hope I will one day
be in the deep waters
amid the yellow green moss
staying there
I hope I will
run into those deep waters.
