Done for for Carpe Diem and for Haiku My Heart.

This may be my last post for the year as I will be breaking for a while to sort out my WIP. But I shall be back! 🙂 Merry Christmas to all my lovely friends out there. Wishing you much joy, love and the peace that is Christ our Saviour. God bless you all. 🙂

Fresh Snow

Ligo Haibun Challenge: Illusion

27 Tuesday Aug 2013

desire, Illusion, Ligo Haibun, love

The prompts at Ligo Haibun this week are two words, Illusion and Ecstasy. My offering:

Illusion

PictureYou waltz into my heart leaving me reeling from your aura. A magnet of sweet decadence you have me hooked completely. Lips to lips, body to body, no space for another. Just the two of us.

We dance, primitive in our desire, beating tattoos of love in naked abandon. And then, just as suddenly, like a fleeting mirage, you are no more. I clasp the breeze that trail your departure, but your wild musk eludes me. I grasp at nothingness.

I flail, I wail, my despair insane. Wisps of your essence cling to my consciousness. Waking and fading. You are my illusion.

your fine musk
haunts my wild desires
I dream on
