Recreating Life

Recreating Life

The anger welled up

Within the bosom that flared

Like forest aflame

 

It bore no logic

Curving through the mind’s landscapes

It shattered all sense

 

Easing through the flames

My worded intention spun

Recreating Life

 

 

Written in the context Ronovan writes Weekly Haiku Prompt using the words Anger and Logic. See here for rules and words to  use.

It is always you

It is always you

I unwrapped

The gift you gave me

It contained

The endless

The skies reverberating

Love reigniting

 

We are one

Under shining sun

Glory’s wake

No mistake

In every leaf I find you

Nature’s rendering

 

I roam Earth

No longer in pain

Even rain’s

Still waters

Mind reminds when all falters

It is always you

Icicles

Playing with my tears

Uprooted

From the trees

Falling they put soul at ease

On weather’s arrears

 

The water

The heart deranges

Fraying path

Through the veins

Its wake the mind estranges

Seasons of our pains

 

In their light

I renewed myself

No longer

Prone to flee

Circumstances that shook me

Like doll on a shelf

Mind travelled

Through the rising tides

Pregnant waves

Spilling forth

Seaweeds and plankton gushing

Like cry from a heart

 

To depart

From object of love

Like arrow

Piercing side

Forgotten the unwed bride

Widow of morrow

 

The sorrow

It wells in the soul

No control

Over tears

They spell out our random fears

When the stakes are high

Blackbirds fly

In the summer sky

Forests glow

In my chest

Bosom upon which to rest

Your body awaits

 

Flailing lungs

Gasping for the air

Broken nights

To repair

Toiling with my daily care

Replenishing days

 

Dreams to sow

In my memory

Within mind

Count me in

When the hope is running thin

The bliss I rewind

Daffodils

Spilling in the rain

The garden

Now awash

Flowers and fruit all laden

A feast for your eyes

 

Your features

Bright and definite

Like the love

Infinite

Gushing through the sentences

Composed by the heart

 

My shadow

Under your bright sun

Towards which

I now run

Happiness is not mere word

Expression unheard

Half the Perfect World – Madeleine Peyroux

I feel you

In the moon’s wane light

When we rhyme

Together

My soul feels like a feather

In melding with yours

 

We sway slow

In intimate dance

The halo

Around us

Trails of the shimmering glow

When our bodies touch

 

I hear you

Your words are like sun

Spread above

In the sky

Your heart meets my every cry

Like a faithful friend

I see you

Emblem of true love

You hover

In the space

Between me and hidden face

Redesigning worlds

 

The truth hurled

From voices of birds

Song from dark

Nightingales

They join the merry lark

In fusion of genre

 

Sit with me

I am now breathless

From your love

High above

A kiss so delightful slips

Like seal on my lips

Green foliage

Covering the ground

Seeking eye

Now spellbound

I breathe in the summer’s dew

Seasons brought anew

 

Clouds gather

High above in skies

They rumble

With the seed

Of water mingling with salt

Life breeds a new creed

 

Falling rain

Shimmering raindrops

On my head

They sparkle

They point to a new cycle

Of Love’s wilderness

Music set

Melodies thriving

In my blood

As they flood

The synapses of my brain

Through journey in ear

 

Parting point

Rhythm now disjoint

Like my knees

As they ease

Into postures of dances

Of my wild prances

 

Summer slow

Eases into spring

Daffodils

On the hills

Where I hear your echo ring

Rumbling in my heart
