Grazina

In her sweet voice
she asks, "would you like one more?"
Brownie or kiss?
He teases her with a wink
His eyes full of mischief.

With you,
love didn’t feel like effort.
It felt like the air I breathe,
like you were already part of me.

I never prayed for heaven,
but you gave me something close.

You watched me sleep,
whispered “angel,”
your fingers brushing my lips.
And I knew you meant it all.

Thank you😊

Sunflowers in rows
hum in yellow unison
clouds applaud softly

Thank you😊

Thank you 😊

Frost covered elm
Branches look like white candy
Melted by noon.

A book shared by chance
bookmarked notes that mirror mine
happenstance in ink.

#vss365 #haiku #poetry

Forest prisms dance
sunbeams through emerald branches
leaves shimmer in gold

#vss365 #haiku #poems

The river bends again,
the guru say, "Be like this"
never break, just turn

Each ring in the tree
a progenitor's journal
written without words

#vss365 #haiku #poetry

Progenitor’s legacy
passed through generations’ line,
braided in our genes.

Neither yes nor denial,
choices open like unfamiliar hallways

Doors appear
none clearly marked

Steps pause in this liminal space,
between what was and what may come,
silence keeps its answers.

#vss365 #poetry #poems

An open notebook
and a pen uncapped
liminal story

Lightning's twin sister
a parallel flash of thought
through the brain of dusk

Yes, definitely! You can often find oaks, hickories, sweetgum, maples, birch, and rowan in pine woods, though the exact mix really depends on the region.

In the dark pine woods
vortex of leaves dancing
autumn's whispered breath

#vss365 #haiku #poetry

I called
The wind to guide me
Into your realm

A place where your love sings
And walls dissolve

I stood
Amidst the stirring of endless dreams
Drawn ever closer to your warmth

I wished
To stars for space to hold us
Constant and calm
Through everything

#vss365

Tears held back pack the hardest punch.

Susurrus of cicadas
rises with the dusk
nature’s summer choir

Thank you😊

I live somewhere in between
Not fully drenched, not quite dry

This tension is primordial
As if the world spins on two chords
Neither willing to break

I move slow through the risk of choice
Moments change their shape

And I carry the shift
without needing to retreat.

#vss365

With you, I can be
all the versions of myself
the brave, the broken,
the quiet, the wild.
Your love is a harbor
where I anchor gently,
where I’m seen and held.
And in that safety,
I find the courage
to love myself deeper
than I ever knew.

#vss365 #poetry #poem

Slash in woven web
dew hangs on broken silk threads
spider starts again

#vss365 #haiku #poetry

Rooms learn your absence fast
Mornings adjust
Chairs don’t wait
The mist forms a new shape
Silence acts like you were never here
I let the space remain
I don't fill it
Because parts of me
That belong to you can’t be replaced.

The match scraped
once,
twice,
then caught.

He held the flame
close to the paper
but didn’t light it.

It wasn’t a letter.
Just a ticket
something from
a day
they tried to enjoy.

Still,
he watched it fly

#vss365

Cherry blossoms fall
the skin of spring sheds in pink
softness on the path

#vss365 #haiku #poetry

Small holes in the bark
a woodpecker's hollow song
echoes through the pine.

#vss365

Beneath cherry trees
Someone dreamed of days to come
Petals drift like thoughts.

#vss365 #haiku #poetry

If I could stop
time,
I’d freeze
this moment
your hand
in mine.

But seconds
keep falling,
unaware
of what I want
to hold forever.

What sparked
in that shared glance
remains
between our hearts.
