Queen

Queen Haibun

Inhabit (Haibun)

Enjoy this short poem Of beauty beyond compare. Beauty without heart. ........ Her perfect slim form, A temptation to man and woman, Rise from the shimmering waters.

The best of them

I searched far and wide for the best of the best. I walked across deserts, and sailed across oceans. I flew through bright blue skies, and dark grey clouds with no end in sight. I searched Earth's centre, its edges, and all that was in between them. The answers were many. But, only one struck …

Sun everlasting

The listening ear

My solace was in his dark hollow place From the air, through a maze of hairy routes, I came to rest. His lips needn't move. His eyes told me I was in the right place. Songs of birds echo Never for us or their foes But for a light chest ❤Aweni

Sings all day, ne'er cries Knows no pain, joys or sorrows She is a mermaid I had a dream To break boundaries To be a star My hopes started with a flicker now they are large, larger than life A raging fire Threatening to engulf from within They must breath, else I can't be On …
