You have fire.
Don't pretend
You don't shine.

The flame burns steadily
When it is shielded from the wind
Not when the flame decides
It wants to be steady

Bordering the house
Two very tall evergreens
Magic as a child

#dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #poem #shortpoem #writing

Prompt ~ Evergreen

Gripping the throat and crushing the voice
this love of mine commits to,
ever sweet and I swear to rejoice
the grasp telling me what I knew; —

Twisting in the stomach and grinning
this love of mine commits to,
our souls to never be thinning
in spite of the things I once knew.

I think on what this could be
I wonder what this should be
Dwelling on what this would be

Into the forest I follow
The leaves grab me and swallow
Only to find I am hollow

Grasped within my hand
This heart of sand
Here I wander the land

There is nothing to find
All eyes turn blind
So I toss out my mind

We've made no promise.
Our glue is stronger than words..
Love speaks best in deeds

Deeds can't promise, but sustain.
Futures are built, not promised.

@Aphelion

We clutch existence,
wanting proof we're even here.
Time proves otherwise.

Help us out and take all ye're able to carry
Pass o'er the pots and pans
For dinner we'll have it grand
Served to us is bacstaí
Tonight we dance in merry
