Silhouettes

moonlit night

I hear your footsteps
behind my window

but all I see 
is your silhouette
merging into another

Death, Ghana, Micropoetry, Nature

Today is tanka day at Rajani’s.  Somehow, I’ve never been good with the tanka. 🙂 So this is just a small poem.

Micropoetry Month

Fatal Kiss

a smile

like the sun

peeks through slits of darkness

scented rays hug me

in a kiss of death

Join the party at Rajani’s with your own micro poem in the comments section or using Mister Linky. There are no rules – whatever the muse whispers!

Micropoetry Month

Trying my hands at the quadrille (44 word poem. Word! 🙂 )

Stale Death

they say love is blind

and perhaps so

for how could I have failed

to glimpse the darkness

beneath your light

smooth velvet is the night

that hides sinister cravings and urges

I shudder at your perfumed breath

a musky odour of stale death
