Haiku Reflections: Talisman
5 Sep
Falling in Love
A single red rose…
captures,
the moment and the magic.
Longing glance.
Slow, flowing dance.
Fully engaged; senses peaked.
We breathe the fragrant, sacred air.
Suspended in time.
In a place, made only for two.
People stop and stare.
“You look beautiful”
and politely inquire:
“what’s new?”
But the delicious secret, goes unexplained.
The spell ( at least for a little while) remains.
“Romance, what makes it all worthwhile”

Falling…
falling slowly
slowly falling
gliding through a timeless place
mystery and magic, unfolds
gossamer sight; limited vision
circular walls, a blur
taking in another small fragment
with each unexpected visit
enlightenment dawns at daybreak
warmth against the chill
buttercup sun, beckons from above
a veil of stars, seen below
air, clean, refreshing and pure
a fragrance, sweet as spring lilacs
no fear
no resounding thuds
in this [...]

Sweet Dreams
In my dream, there is a staircase.
Leading up to the sun and warming rays.
There is an answer waiting there.
At the top of the stairs.
But it has not been reached.
Still to be revealed.
It will remain.
A sweet and soothing dream.
Awakening to peace and renewal.
There is hope to be found.
Gazing towards the light.
Hope that sustains on even the darkest days.
And weaves through the [...]

“Chance” Encounters
Drawing us near.
Sometimes in ways, at first unclear.
A certain look.
A longer than usual glance.
Who knows where,when or why.
We pass this way.
And rightly so, what fate and kismet brings.
Does at last, advance.
What is on the surface.
Too obvious and easy.
Is often, not reality.
And what remains unseen…
untouched…
… ultimately to come.
Meant to be.
And for the better.
But only if we allow.
To be [...]

Moonlight and Roses
A call to romance.
Softly sighs….
This time, to surrender.
As we sway to the dance.
Full harvest moon, lights a quiet path.
Surrounded by the scent of fragrant floral notes.
Night falls, to cast it’s magic spell.
As we leave the day behind.
Music of another time.
Yet perfectly in tune.
Velvet and lavish lace.
So fitting and fine in this beautiful place.
Life’s sweet moments of mystery.
Elevating our senses and sensibilities.
Moonlight [...]

Lady of the Sea
What is this unseen force that draws us to the sea?
A lifetime of yearning that never seizes.
A subtle whisper in the recesses of our minds.
Until we find ourselves.
Finally there.
Awakening to her soothing song.
Merging, mesmerizing colors.
Ivory and aquamarine in subtle,swirling patterns.
Sandy brown beach and shimmering shoreline.
Drawing us, ever near.
For centuries past and for all time to come.
The Lady of the Sea will be [...]

The Bells
The bells are ringing.
Calling flocks of believers.
Summoning those resolute.
Determined for a cause.
Glorious peals and tolls of doom.
Messengers and harbingers.
Remainders and reminders of centuries past.
Bride, radiant and glowing.
A vision in white.
Easter lilies and crimson red roses.
Fragrant cascade and fervent hopes.
Awaiting the first chimes to call her beloved.
Then jubilant, triumphant peals.
As they walk together, hand in hand.
While morning doves soar in flight.
Glorious melodious morning.
A moment in time.
Burnished in their hearts.
Sealed in golden time.
Forever.
A young soldier.
Lies in [...]
