Echoes

echoing mountains
his voice…
from afar

montagne echeggianti
la sua voce
da lontano

August Rains

August rains

strong winds
droning and so cold 

but I hear music too
a soft tempo
of the breeze

but creamy

so is your kiss
not sweet
but full

Life

stretch your hands and grasp mine

life slips by
a passing ship with no anchor 

that is my life
perhaps, your touch
will stable me

The Cherita was created by al li. I’ve fallen in love with this lovely poetry form. And for each working day I shall endeavour to post a cherita a day on my blog.

Adagio

once upon a time

I twirled in your arms
in heels 

all night long
to the sound of rain
and the adagio
