Fulsome Moon - Haiku

Voluptuous Lady 

Fulsome Moon - so becoming

She keeps me from sleep

How True

How true love is

Voyage - Elfje

Sailing

tall ships

iron and timber

tacked together with rope

Voyage

Do you really not know - Pantoum

Do you really not know who I am

Is your heart not ablaze at my voice

Lift your eyes from their mirror of fear

Let the promise I made you be true

Is your heart not ablaze at my voice

Love seeks to be truly embraced

Let the promise I made you be true

And the song of the heavens ring out

Love seeks to be truly embraced

In the silence, the soul touches soul

And the song of the heavens ring out

Star speaks to star in bright silvered light

In the silence, the soul touches soul

In the longing you don't know you know

Star speaks to star in bright, silvered light

O come and be part of the making

In the longing you don't know you know

Lift your eyes from their mirror of fear

O come and be part of the making

Do you really not know who I am

The Way - Triolet

To walk the way unmakes the road

In the journey back from hopelessness

Tears fall silent, Grace bestowed

To walk the way unmakes the road

Tender words with kindness flowed

Heart's embrace with healing blest

To walk the way unmakes the road

In the journey back from hopelessness.

Never meant - triolet

I didn't mean to leave my heart

You weren't supposed to find it there

Decisions made; I'd played my part

I didn't mean to leave my heart

Your words had hit their scalded mark

I couldn't stay; you didn't care
I didn't mean to leave my heart

You weren't supposed to find it there

Now all of me's become undone

Defeated by the loss of you

Too tired to stay; afraid to run

Now all of me's become undone

My life's unravelling has begun

The woeful wondering - what to do

Now all of me's become undone

Defeated by the loss of you

Raven - Pantoum

All revealed in a raven's eye 

The way the world would come undone

Reflections of a darkened sky

The swollen moon outweighed the sun

The way the world would come undone

T'was written in the boiling sea

The swollen moon outweighed the sun

The ravens danced from tree to tree

T'was written in the boiling sea

And all creation roared in pain

The ravens danced from tree to tree

New life would never come again

Reflections of a darkened sky

All revealed in a raven's eye
