Winter's Wake (haiku)

autumn's ghost lingers
in the dead of winter's wake
- spring but a promise

CINQUAIN VERSION (beneath) 

My Place Of Sanctuary (Kyrielle Sonnet tweeked)

My place of sanctuary 

Where I frequent at night

Away from all who fight

My sacred place to write

...beneath the cool moonlight

It's where I feel most free

In vocabulary 

When words flow from my pen

My heart it soars in flight 

I hope this will not end

Rhyme has become my friend

...beneath the cool moonlight

I linger for awhile

My place of sanctuary

It's often where I smile

...beneath the cool moonlight

my mind becomes fertile

Moments

Swinging... suspended in a dimension that we label as time 

I ponder my seconds, minutes, hours, days, nights, weeks, years; 

my working shifts, holidays and time that I've wasted on the mundane 

To a child, who truly experiences the joys of each moment... I wish to return

To splash in a reflective, cloud-filled silver puddle of forbidden fun 

To slide heedlessly down a helter skelter, in a sack, at supersonic speed

To blow iridescent bubbles of delight... such poppable propositions of awe

To be at one... happy... consumed within a moment 

Losing the need to divide my time into fake components

Mix-tape Love

Lost in mix-tape melancholy; malignant madness was that love

Intoning lovingly his precious name as I slept in his football scarf 

An empty photo frame haunted; in which our smiles once beamed

In safe arms, a starlit car journey, that later tore me at the seams

Petals glued upon my doorstep that spelled out his love for me

A perfect proposal by a lake that veered into treacherous seas

Then came an aeroplane ascending, taking with it all my dreams 

A bluey beneath a pillow, a tear-stained, religious, midnight read

Tender, timely words that reassured; when in my greatest need 

A fist through a door; possessions heaped in hatred on the lawn

Contented, passionate weekends; curled up, in idle, blissful yawns

A ring once grand now jaded; a familiar friend that adorns my hand

Our love a headless, heroic, heretic and yet together we still stand
