Afar – Cinquain.

Afar

World’s length,

Alone in heart.

Searching the day and night,

Hoping to stumble upon her.

Dreams tempt.

Burn – Cinquain.

Burn

Like smoke,

Love in the air,

Drifting on the night’s wind,

Until it fades, undetected.

I burn.

With heart of gold,

And mind of shattered glass,

Found life, love and hope in his bride.

The River Runs Through.

The way to freedom is a line,
straight or a meandering vine,
circling and entwines,
never to join the beginning.

Do not think to what came before,
gone to be left evermore,
in the path you score,
what happens in a river?

As troubled water flows it pounds,
eroding till what was left drowns,
tumbling til it washes down,
the stain of its memory.

 

The OVI Challenge.

The Path – Haiku.

The Path

the rock paves the way

for both the land and river
