should this moon be waited for by sitting or lying down …? I calculate with my fingers

– Sujyu Takano (1)

by moonlit waters

memories caress the shore

blue moon dance

*

casting a pebble

blue waters ripple outward

smile reflection

Love Never Ends #poetry #photography #4u

by moondustwriter, posted in Love, nature, Photography, Poetry

heart in ivy

What if this day

was my end

would you see my smile

in the skies?

would you hear my laughter

rustling through the trees

would you see my fingers

rustling summer’s breeze?

Were this to be

my last  and final day

would you always know

that you made my spirit  glow?

would you hear songs that I sang

just around the bend

my love’s  forever chorus

you can on this depend

look for it in the spring

grasp for  it in the stars

and never doubt my love

its  always deepening

Ripples of Compassion #haiku #kindness #poetry #photography

Ripples of Life

Your outstretched hand

reaching toward wounded soul

fingertips meet

*

fingertips meet

heart warmed with kindness’ smile

reflect in the sky

*

reflect in the sky

ripples of  compassion

circle the earth

It is so refreshing that the smallest act of kindness can have a ripple effect

Thanks to Kristjaan at Carpe Diem for prompting us to reflect upon compassion.

Fallen Rose

A Red, Red Rose
By Robert Burns
~~~
O my Luve’s like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in June;
O my Luve’s like the melodie
That’s sweetly play’d in tune.
~~~
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I:
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a’ the seas gang dry:
~~~
Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun:
I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o’ life shall run.
~~~
And fare thee well, my only Luve
And fare thee well, a while!
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho’ it were ten thousand mile.
~~~

Inspired by a Rose

by L. Moon

~~~~~

My love is like the rose

red are  her lips that speak

soft fragrance on her skin

I wish to breathe so deep

~

She is so fair my dear

her eyes they becoken me

deeper than blue sky

foamier than the sea

~

I cherish you  my heart

true to the end you’ll see

on one knee I did ask

loving devotion thou didst read

~

I bid thee now farewell

yet for a little while

It cannot be too long

my world wrapped up in your smile
