I want to ravish you
But I’m afraid
I may fall in love with you
Or should I say deeper…
I no longer care about the outcome
I know that you’re never going anywhere
Because it’s imperative that you’re in my life
I don’t want you
I need you!
You’re the sense in my train of thought
You’re the pulse
That you need to feel…
Indicating Life
Just thinking of being away from you
I’m lost…
In the past
A fear overcame me
I didn’t want to jeopardize anything
You’re a great asset to my life
But like I’ve said…
I’m no longer worried about the outcome
You’re going to be around forever
No one could ever say anything…
I will forever love you!
On a sad day we tell our stories
of risk and surprise, of life and loss,
of having won, even in the midst of defeat.
We war with each other, with ourselves,
with the internal conflicts found in conscience,
with the enmity in relationships.
Still, we find time to sing, sing the old song,
the new song, to pray, to recite endearing terms
of love, of longing, those songs of passion,
on a sad day.
Dew laden palms hang under midnight glow reflecting lunar diamonds off green spears.
soft evening breeze brings forth a dancing flow
small shocks of light reflect within each tear
which falls to earth abandoning its high collective perch one small drop at a time
cascading journeys sliding southward bound night’s swirling mist create pools on the ground
and with each teardrop’s tiny splash an echoed cry through smoke and flash
turquoise tattered butterflies stop to view as clouds dissipate with sun’s mourning dew
the path is dangerous but clear yet they hear the world’s voice and know they’re near
the shifting paradigm of consciences willlet the light shine on all injustice
be free brave little butterflies take your wings and expose the lies
the soul of the earth has been assaulted with bombs and gas
for the love of humanity lay down arms of insanity
a global evolution has begun What a unique time to be in the sun.

First off, thank you so much for this theme! My husband is a soldier and it means so much to hear and read the respect for what he does. Ooops, though, my poem doesn't fit the theme (: www.predatory-lies.com

I didn't write a haiku on the theme for this weeks Poetry Picnic. I have contributed one of my essays about Matsuo Basho (1644-1694). He was a samurai and a haiku poet. So there is a link with the theme, but ... come and see for yourself.

No Calamity, Jane G.I.Jane doesn’t want a Barbie She wants bullets to flow Hitting targets and bullseyes Quick and sure
None of Mom’s domestic chains Just enough oil for this girl To lube her gun and no flaws In her aim
Never mind pop - loud bangs and booms! She’s got her wings and is thinking straight Digging deeper fir the treasure; They’ll be No middle ground
No sitting around wasting syllables Trying to get rhythm when there’s rotten To be hunted and good to be set straight Fight for right
G.I.Jane just wants combat boots She want sot see the world And make it safe for the children she might have One fine day
Well that was a pleasant surprise to see my words included in the featured poems. I've read some amazing words here and the be so featured is an honor.
