The incredible lightness of flying
My story that got published on Stuff Nation –
The incredible lightness of flying
And some earlier ones –
The sure-fire life purpose
If I had the chance
I’d be a dessert spoon
the bringer of delight
Imagine,
tucking into delectation
every time
brain to hand
sending frantic messages
hurry hurry hurry
mouth closing in
tongue in rapture
lips in melting caress
imagine,
transporting pleasure
every time
how could you go wrong
with a life purpose
such as that?

Enchantment
Found this flower blooming in our garden today. I was totally enchanted by its unusual pattern and of course, it’s unique beauty!
Pain – haiku
some aches can be seen
others eat up the insides
just the shell remains
~~~
let me feast on joy
as pain slinks ‘neath the table
awaiting its turn
~~~
bruised purplish-black
amidst bright yellows and pinks
warp and weft of life
~~~
Rain cloud Mother
I felt it the moment
I let you go
bursting my birth sac
and you rushing headlong
to meet that other mother
that steadfast one
singing as you fell
black-slapping
racing each other
like little sperms intent
on meeting those seeds
waiting for your embrace
that sweetness of release
for I, the surrogate
had only held you for her
~~~
(written for the Bentlily prompt – Rain -from the perspective of the clouds)
Storm – haiku
in the aftermath
among the deadened rubble
little shoots spring forth
~~~
heart lacerated
night in the grip of a storm
ends in glorious morn
~~~
my muse brews a storm
of words, plot-lines, characters
a novel is born
~~~
All lit up
A photo haiku
