soulmate

soulmate

in another lifetime
I imagine we were friends
lovers even
how familiar your gaze felt
in the back of my eyes
something…you know?
you know.

the fates have me
engaged this incarnation
with other concerns
life, love, heartache,
happiness…joy
still hopelessly lost
but for a serendipitous,
ill-timed, breathtaking
encounter
on a street corner
in the rain, in autumn
a brief moment when
our eyes met and held
and I remembered…
I remembered
then you were gone

A bit of fantasy today. A mix of fiction and poetry. And a Disclaimer…no actual soulmates are implicated in this yarn. You know who you are and where and when and we’ll…you know. 😉🥰

a haiku

how weary she looks
parched, fading, lush to chartreuse
wistful for autumn

late summer encounter

late summer encounter

I spied a lovely doe today
she held my gaze, then leapt away
into the brush deep in the hollow
I fought the urge to rush and follow
to think I’m kind would not be safe
we humans are a cruel race
I kept my distance glad to see
her intuition made her flee
run free sweet forest sprite run free
it’s best to fear the likes of me
as hunters plan their autumn sacks
be swift, stay safe, and don’t look back
