Rhapsody (haiku)

Her flesh sings to him

Lost within her rhapsody 

He must surrender

Musical Solace

When the music ceases;

it's then reality permeates 

the troubled, anxious mind

Solace is thus broken

To wallow, though, would

be to give up 

on dreams not yet

realised, experienced or spent

Her soul resonates; only

love she feels within

The beat reflects the

rhythm of her heart

Rhapsody of unrealised potential,

crescendos to fate's will

She sings to herself

but... is she heard?

Phoenix (cinquain)

Rising 

above like a

phoenix; only to be

burnt by the flames she creates once

again

Forbidden Fruit (Fibonacci)

Eyes

blaze

Lip bit

Tousled hair

cascades on her breasts

Fingertips delve into her beauty

She hums with wanton anticipation of him

At

last

alone

Together

Kindle to his fire

Eyes filled with her unveiled curves, flesh 

Unchaste, forbidden fruit to be devoured and savoured

Pulls

her

towards

his lust; need

She yearns and he aches 

Slowly their two forms become one

Entwined, lost within each other's intoxication

Compass (Tanka)

Her heart, her compass

As her mind had long been lost

Her soul searched for home

He was a direction she 

knew to avoid at all costs

Music

Music saturates and engulfs my mind, 

conjuring up whimsical silent moving pictures

Seagulls soar effortlessly upon the rising thermals, 

against the ink blotted horizon depicted by the sax

The piano paints the sky with silken, gentle strokes;

awash with the glistening majestic hues of sunrise

Waves caress, relentlessly, the jaded warm cliff side 

hypnotically; as described by the resonating cymbal

PTSD won't set us Free!

Please don't judge me.........because I do this enough myself! 

It's just so hard to love somebody who hates the world, and everyone in it 

It's damaging my health! 

I get it.........you hate me and, ironically, today that's ok

I've used up all my tears on you; I've thrown them all away

I'm so over ........ walking on eggshells and stepping over all the lies

I know it's not your fault, as your demons sear deep inside

Please, though, tell me why I'm always the one to blame

As isn't it your hatred and fear that's causing you this pain?

I'm sick ...... with YOUR affliction

I'm tired ...... of this futile fight

When all I really want to do is hold you, and tell you that it will ALL be alright

I'm wishing for what WAS, the person who I married

I'm aching from this relentless load,  that for far too long I've carried

So what to do now....I wish I knew the answer!

All I know, is your contempt for me..... is eating me like cancer!

I wish the Army knew what they've done;  how they've ripped out your soul...

If only I had the remedy to tend your unseen wounds and make you, once again, whole
