Elements (a fragmented story)

[Shiroi Kurēn]

Hey everyone,

I've been trying to get back into writing slowly, after an extremely long hiatus!  So I thought some haiku inspired poetry would be a simple way to start my rediscovery.  What you'll find below is a collection of four poems, in which you will hopefully see a larger picture evolve as you read through.

I hope you enjoy it!  

Stone Heart

Cold and still numbness,

Hammer blows exert your will,

Upon the anvil

Your heartless actions,

Reckless labors of a craftsman,

Strongest stone shatters

My spirit unbowed,

Your ardor flags when revealed,

Bright diamonds inside.

Flame

Fire can only live,

When given something to burn,

Needing sustenance

Yet it is fragile,

Left unattended too long,

Flickers low and dies

Before embers cool,

Two sparks kindle anew,

A bright flame is lit.

Fluidity

Your hand holding mine,

An ocean cannot divide,

Thoughts flow together

How could she know?

Passion builds on rising tides,

Adrift in our love

Fate lets us recall,

A river bears two old souls,

Perfect harmony.

Flight

I know that smile well,

Yearning to roam far and free,

Winds picking us up

Meet up in our dreams,

Leave our world far behind us,

Breeze ever at our back

So come with me love,

Arrive to new beginnings,

Happy, wild and free.

A humble offering to my love, love you and I am so very proud of the bright soul you truly are!
