Languid in the shelter of the dark shadows;
Exhausted from the burning heat of the day,
I lie back on the coolish grass and contemplate
The beauty of a leafy canopy against a cloudless sky.
Languid in the shelter of the dark shadows;
Exhausted from the burning heat of the day,
I lie back on the coolish grass and contemplate
The beauty of a leafy canopy against a cloudless sky.
Deserted; bereft of your company;
Your love a retreating tide
Or a falling Autumn leaf.
Brittleness
Fills the air and skeletal twigs
Populate my life
Despite the summer sun.
The tide lays bare the rocks
And sand blows across the empty beach.
Once we held so much
As one, rolling on the ebb and flow of life.
But today you do not put your arms
Around me
And your smile sits on another horizon
Not mine.
Our ship
Sinks below the horizon
Out of sight forever.
**************
But always my soul yearns
For you.

I miss the Daily Prompt. It got me writing regularly. Thank you to AARDVARK – Alan GraceNZ for providing a forum. I must get my head around it soon. See below.

White fluttering among the flowers
Chasing and kissing; parting and missing
Landing on the blossom
Sucking up the nectar
Landing on the leaf and depositing
Tiny eggs, miniscule lives
Then fluttering off into the blue sky.
Life deposited; begun with a flutter.
