Welcoming Spring!

The gentle cascade

of cherry blossom petals

spills to the ground

- tears of joy -

welcoming you! 

And I recall:-

Your gentle whispers

the warmth of your breath

 upon my cheek...

Your sweet melody

the notes of your song

tangled in my hair...

Your delicate embrace

the essence of your perfume

wafting all around me..

And I too welcome you!

Love Is

Love is

the silence

before the storm

the awakening

before passion

is born

♥

Love is

the sigh

of the wings

of a butterfly

the gentle

arousal

which kindles

the tempest

♥

The Sky Danced

Reflections

on a blue sky

recall

the long hot summers

We were so high

on love

swathed in the 

mirth of the cicadas' song

as it rose and fell

and floated

all around us

in our hair

in our hearts

Under our feet

the sky danced

enchanted

by the mirth

of the cicadas' song

which reeled 

in the blue

until the sky bled

Red flames

devoured the blue

tainted the hue

spewing the

silence of

darkness

all around us
