Anthony and Cleopatra
hot death tolls its bell
staking her despondent heart
craving for his breath
as kiss of asps entrance her
to join him in bliss

phantoms of her smile
haunting shredded memory
the dredges of love

Living Spring
(3-5-3-3-7-5)
dangle me
across the threshold
of your heart
the dampness
fizzling the glowing wicker
of what I hold dear
(1-2-3-4-1)
push
me into
this yawning darkness
spiced with herbs from
Hades
(3-5-3-3-7-5)
tantalise
my dying taste buds
yearning for
that last kiss
then, probably I shall gasp
for that living spring

Blossom
inhaling these scents
valley alive with colours
blossoms for the gods

wild tresses
blooming on a tree
I inhale

Challenge Wednesday by Jeremy of The Boi Poet is back after a short break.This week’s lines of poetry are below and we are to link back to Jeremy:
Life
these stars flicker their luminescence
purging souls of their wantonness
we bleed from the scorching touch
cleansing ritual of old
these mad deities
haunting our dreams
we kowtow
them as
lord
of
the skies
all-seeing
in their splendor
garnishing the moon
but shadows gather sheaves
our work is up for tally
and soon, won’t we have to be brave
when night portents the dimming of stars

Done for Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie – Heeding Haiku with HA. Today we are to write a Tanka with the picture below as inspiration
Woodcut illustration (1919) of the young lovers from Gottfried Keller’s original story, which became Delius’s opera A Village Romeo and Juliet.
Till Death
lying by meadows
awaiting the morning dew
you and I are one
even as the sun sheaths skies
and Lord Capulet decrees

A full moon is often interpreted in the romantic sense, other times with something involving magic, sometimes with evil or maybe just the wrong time to cut one’s hair or plant certain plants. Keeping in mind all the variations associated with the full moon here is my offering:
Moon
you and I
on a moonlit night
the leaves sigh
your witchcraft
playing havoc with my will
impotent, I yield
