healing is a long time
coming for those poisoned
by the lies of fools
remembering things
that never were
gentle falling is
soon to come
with the darkening
of days and
frost murmuring
softly on the breeze
keeping an open heart
takes a good bit of
hope and faith when
one’s innocence has
been regarded as
nothing by powerful
users promising the moon

the tide
sweeps the strand
reclaiming beached remnants
of cockles and shell shards; the sea
yearning

A Cinquain for Colleen Chesebro’s Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge, Synonyms Only, Prompt Words: Love (yearning) & Time (tide).
anything
look at you, absentmindedly twirling
a wisp of perfect golden hair ’round
slender fingertips, hint of a smile, lips,
velvet petals, parted, revealing pearlescent
teeth, a laugh, pleasant, lilting, crystalline
blue eyes, sparkling, that quickly look
away from too intense a gaze…you don’t
know how beautiful you are, coyly
denying the adoration of those poor
souls ensnared by your loveliness…
you hardly notice your true devotees
pricked so deeply by love’s poison dart
they would do anything for you, truly
anything…I suppose that’s why
i hate you…i do…i hate you

For MindLoveMisery’s Menageries’ Sunday Writing Prompt based on the quote above by Nathaniel Hawthorne.
i can hope in dreams,
in love and peace and
better days to come…
believing gives me
the power to overcome
every obstacle

Magnetic Poetry Online – Love Kit
the blood moon sweats
blue, red crush, misting
purple rain, falling
who do they think
they are disturbing
my dark, restless night…
happy squirrels, bird song,
the sun shining too bright
when all I ask is to
wither here in peace
i live for the sweet
in between…dawn and
darkening dusk when
the hot summer sun
is muted
i never wanted to
love you but my
heart always gets
what it wants

like mercury colliding...
