peace is a cool breeze
on a starry night
morning’s blush, velvet
seas and the breath of
desire for what could be
lingering in our hearts

gentle is the heart,
true is the soul
that lives life
in a spirit of love
and peace

peace is a cool breeze

gentle is the heart,

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
