Fragrant waves—
I fall into pages
and lose the day.
A rare hour,
fingers turning,
something once faded
finding color again.

#poetry　#freeverse

A butterfly alights
on petals of words—
deep within,
a poem opens.
Ah,
quietly filling the air.

#poetry　#freeverse

warm spring air—
the heart loosens
morning light

#haikuchallenge

To fly
A voice within—
no, a pull—
whispers: fly.
Letting go,
I lean
over the trembling edge of chaos.
The wind rises—
it takes me.
Not fear,
but the sharp joy of release.
And then—
I dive
into freedom.

#poetry　#freeverse

spring awakening—
a blush upon my cheeks,
azaleas bloom

#haikuchallenge
#haiku

Beyond confusion
what lies there
not joy
not hope
only words
thinly arranged
unable to choose
time keeps passing

#poetry　#freeverse

Sunlight pours in
I narrow my eyes—
petals tremble

#haikuchallenge

Spring calls my name
softly, secretly
and with it comes that fire
a passion budding beneath my skin
for the one I still remember
spring calls me again

#poetry　#freeverse

Opened blossoms—
spring rain scatters them softly,
dripping to the earth.

I was told
a prince would surely come.
I believed,
waiting for him
on a white horse.
My heart fluttered,
my thoughts raced—
yet I held it in, just waiting.
Then he appeared…
not a stranger,
but a familiar man next door.
And I realized:
love is often
right beside you.

#poetry　#freeverse

The air is still cold,
and yet the birds
softly announce the spring.
A new season has come,
a gentler time,
they seem to say.
And still,
the wind that passes through me
carries winter in its hands,
leaving me behind.
O birds,
won’t you show me
where spring has gone?

#poetry

Thank you so much 💚
That really means a lot to me.

Around this time last year,
beneath the stars,
I was spinning threads of words.
The cherry blossoms bloomed quietly,
and night after night,
words too
opened like petals.
That spring
will never return.
And I think
it wasn’t only the blossoms
that were scattered by the wind.

#poetry　#freeverse

foreign words—
spring slips a little more
each time I’m confused

Hold me—
take my hand.
My softened, ripened lips
ache for you,
yet you do not see.
Why—
when even silence
knows my longing?

#poetry　#freeverse

At the window of my heart,
something kept knocking—
softly,
as if it already knew
I would not open.
And still,
a thin light entered,
as though even silence
could be touched.

#poetry　#freeverse

Drifting, as if half-asleep,
time slips without a shape.
My feet never quite touch the ground—
a quiet, unnamed unease.
Hair caught in a passing breeze,
the hem of a dress softly undone,
everything just out of reach—
and still,
something unseen
holds my heart in place.

#poetry

Do you remember
beneath the cherry tree—
petals falling,
your cheeks in bloom?
Tell me,
does that day still remain,
or simply fade away?

🎨Howard Pyle, "Spring, Under the Cherry Tree" (1897)

In the quiet night,
I left something behind.
A hazed memory,
like the thorn of a rose—
beautiful,
and cruel.
It brushes my heart
without warning.
I chase
the warmth that once was real—
only
to drift away.

#poetry　#freeverse

Muted gray sky
cold winds carry no answer
spring far from my reach

#haikuchallenge
#haiku

I would trade every star in the sky
for a single moment of your voice.
This longing refuses to fade—
it burns, unseen, beneath my skin.
Before you, I fall into silence,
yet inside, I am calling your name.
Tell me—where do these restless feelings go?

#poetry　#freeverse

Drawn by the soft rain
I gaze out into the dusk
a camellia falls

#haikuchallenge
#haiku

Even this love, like those before,
fades gently into a fragile haze.
Not under a clear, endless sky,
but beneath drifting, hollow clouds.
A heart that once nearly shattered
still glows in quiet depths.
What we found remains—
too precious for words, too soft to forget.

#poetry　#freeverse

I woke
among flowers
in full bloom.
Yet soon
I knew
it was only a dream.
Still
a lingering fragrance
brushed softly past.
Leaving only
a distant presence,
I remain
in the sweetness
of that fading dream.

#poetry　#freeverse

Roses bloomed?
Violets still closed?
Flowers,
Standing with swollen buds,
Tossed beyond the shadows,
Yet waiting—
For the moment a blossom opens.

#poetry　#freeverse

In the darkness ahead,
a small flame flickers uncertainly.
Who will guide my trembling hand?
I remember your face,
and step by hesitant step I move forward.
Surely a moment of rest will come,
and the light will find me.

#poetry　#freeverse

Wind carries softly
Bush warbler sings in the cold
Chill brushes my skin

#haikuchallenge
#haiku

I long to touch your poems,
peeking softly in,
and you gift me love’s verses.
Endless scenes unfold,
spreading the scent of roses
over a world of smoke and ash.

#poetry　#freeverse

Swaying mimosa
Wind of thankfulness blows
Spring within my heart

#haikuchallenge
#haiku

Time flows,
blossoms fall silently,
and I watch from afar.
Wishing joy for what unfolds,
while keeping my distance,
letting the heart find calm.
