Surrender

(1-2-3-4-1)

when

I close

my fevered eyes

I feel the sun

setting

3-5-3-3-7-5

on the lids

its fading warmth a

mere whisper

of a kiss

a breath really, as it bids

farewell over horizons

(1-2-3-4-1)

I

can only

then open them

and  exhale in orgasmic

surrender

Carpe Diem Special: Breath

10 Tuesday Mar 2015

Posted by readinpleasure in Carpe Diem, Challenges, Haiku, Poetry

≈ 30 Comments

Tags

breath, Buddha, Nature, silence, Water

Done for Carpe Diem. Based on Santoka Taneda’s haiku below, we are to write our own in the same sense, tone and spirit. 

in the ceaseless sound
of the water
there is Buddha

Mine

in the silence

Buddha’s breath

stirs the pond

2

ripples

the pond sways

Buddha’s breath
