Life Told in Writing

[M4ngo]

Untitled

every step
comes with air
of revelations—
pulsing
on the tip
there is
a grand stillness
with the stars

[M4ngo]

Outside my window
I see the melancholy
drift—
the sad leaves free
of not knowing where to go

[M4ngo]

those eyes—
harboring in the shadows
even in a bucket of sun
you can't escape

[M4ngo]

I'll love you always
underneath the angelic dust—
even after I die

[M4ngo]

New dawn splintered
a wink of enlightenment—
the Robin is singing

[M4ngo]

Mornings come rushing
with slammed goodbyes—
regret and apologes consume
the hands of the clock

In the warm afternoon breeze
a dreaded smile waits—
remembering how it was
to once be anxious to see

The house ages
through the night
and creaks the memories
swept under the rug

Alone in the distance
she falls asleep beside me—
hoping to dream of waking up
the love anchoring us apart

I particularly like Sad Leaves and Anchored Mistakes. So much with very little.

[M4ngo]

the shadow splinters
—ashes of deception
and ripples into mirrors
of stone

[M4ngo]

Japanese honeysuckles
at the rope swing
—sweet invasion

[M4ngo]

I'm in a warm confused blanket
peering at the still—
swarming thru this blink

[M4ngo]

the autumn leaves
made a bed
—just for you

[M4ngo]

warm rain of afternoon
breeze me in—
your solitude

[M4ngo]

when the last
bloom of silence
fades
the cold-rose dusk
away,
the petals
drift
into a lullaby—
and rest easy
under our willow

[M4ngo]

Arms folded to the moon
—in rainy dawn
What does she say
To the bird’s sad song of life?

Write my name in Solitude
O’ sweet angel above
In the cold rose dusk
Where your winds gently blow

How I wish I could know
O' how I wish I could know

[M4ngo]

There is no simple road
and roses rarely bloom on forever—

[M4ngo]

let go in the darkness
and
fall into the light

I really like the simplicity of your poetry.
And glad to see you posting, M4ngo! :)

[M4ngo]

In a grand-stillness uncertainty slips
inspiring the moment and losing its grip—
leaving shadows in a bucket of sun
collapsing my thoughts left undone

[M4ngo]

I really like the simplicity of your poetry.
And glad to see you posting, M4ngo! :)

Wow. Thank you!

sorry for the late reply :)

[M4ngo]

I agree,
there is something
particularly special
—about you
how else
could you replicate
the same feeling
I get
when craving
ice cream
in the
middle
of the night
when I switch
on the light
to the kitchen
and I’m greeted
by the biggest
cockroach
I've ever seen

Fun little poem... enjoyed. Perhaps "replicate" as a noun: "a tone one or more octaves above or below the given tone."

Those bastids! The apache of bugs!

[M4ngo]

silver light
unfolds at night
unbracing
as you fall—
stealing away the curtain
your disguise
now dripping shade

Simple and effective

[Shadowlight]

Lovely, just lovely. Some beautiful imagery and turn of phrase here. Your haikus are delightful snippets of depth.

In particular like sad leaves and Write my Name in Solitude

[M4ngo]

Thank ya’ll for the comments, much appreciated!

[MANICHAEAN]

Keep at it. It's very pleasing to absorb.

[M4ngo]

beyond the edge
of revelations—
sunlight drapes
linger on

[tailor STATELY]

Wonderful... Veils of light beyond revelation... almost within reach :)
