One of a kind

If you asked for a chocolate, but got only the lemons – grimaced, teeth set on edge - keep on walking on the curb, bypassing the debris of the construction area – open unpaved road/skin, wind world wide…

‘corn candy hot tube’,- he’s saying distinctly and point in a new school’s direction, red with orange blues leaves installation,

‘so they’ll melt then…why?’ – she shrugs, hands endless in air.

The sun highlighting preschooler’s smile, and nearby cloud become a face of someone familiar from afar…

Enchanted road!  See! – the staring deer, not asking for tickets yet; a turkey, crossing the road in a rush; a dog on the grass – the face sealed with white royal stamp, - hosting the morning,  his invisible human stopped him from ranting…

The trees whispering fall foliage forecast, - still time to change…

The mystery lives just next to my neighborhood –

Nature and human

Vulnerable, wise

One of a kind.

Time lingo

You woke me up. Instead of weightless soft lips - gimleting text buzz, ricocheted off in the right hip. The vibes have shifted. The recent changes I’ve gone through seemed were not enough…

For only one day I've lost a new, only 3 months old job, but acquired 4 new students. Time indeed got squeezed. Though the headlight accidently was set with 60 sec. delay, as said the mechanic at the dealership.

There were no emotions produced by thoughts. I hung in limbo, remembering to breathe. Only by evening, exchanging messages with the friends, crying and laughing simultaneously, I felt a relief.

The new day’s rain drummed cheerfully on the tops of the roofs, celebrating last days of Mercury retrograde.

The growing can be lighthearted…

Intermission…

Only a reflection pause

Before a new act.

Twilight of memory *

Khalil Gibran ~ autoportret ~ 1911

…While reaching the hilltop they began to climb and dance,

 tired lambs turned in painless…

Once discovered, the path was already on the other side

of threshold of mind…

Deeper song

when life and death are one

sea between souls

* Note: written for d'Verse Haibun Monday2, hosted by Bjorn, inspired by Khalil Gibran quotes.

Clocked threat

Source

Watch his erotic hands…

They high-light the fragments,

Poke with the needle threat

Our lives & whims.      

Eye for Eye -

Days gone dark,

Leaves change colors

As the thief – gloves & dreams.

Recollection

Sabin Balasa. Freedom in the Aquarium, n.d. WikiArt

The fort open wood gate

uneven sand paths

When sun swiftly surfed

beneath pastel skies

Free versed we cruised

as the black swans of sea

In earthy aquarium

the splatters of we.

*

Sun surfing.

Aquarium. Earth.

Reversed time

cruised under

focal, the pastel blue sky -

reminiscing joy.

Soul Song

'Pasărea în văzduh' /'Bird in the air' by Constantin Brâncuși

I’m humming…

When a body put

a pressure on me,

when its conditional

chain armor shows

in disguise

ostensibly

the programmed,

squeezed,

frozen me…

I’m humming…

an eye into sky,

a beak knocks

in the glass

helmet –

I’m humming…

yellow in the blue,

penetrating

the time, dimensions

step skipping, leap,

flit flutter fly

through leafs, lives,

the transient

path…

Notes: I was inspired by photo and quote I found on Carrie's Van Horn blog "A Net Full of Butterflies". Thank you, Carrie!

A touch

Lion love

When I touch him…

a chin lies on the chest,

swelled love drops,

foggy thoughts,

leaning toward,

asleep…

while music on,

people move

in the rhythm flow..

When I touch him -

He awakes.

When I touch

his shoulders

offering to heal…

what was that

challenged him,

his creative will,

what’ve come up

as a block

to protect the past,

to resist the change…

 “Everything I touch

let become a gold”

mantra/chant/exhale

Let the issues go;

open to be healed

hands palms turned up-

let the light in.
