Heartache Pages Turned

Young and naive from a distance her heart leaped to its highest peak On his terrace he'd sit lips utter words if the pages could speak Her eyes showed ruby red as held flooding tears, so very weak Quiet and steady she kept silent cries to touch his naked cheeks secrets from afar immune to the world around enslaved hopes of love Under shadow of garden trees among a gallery of crimson azaleas, she strolls Portrait of beauty at my fingertips, to caress her goodness, oh so slow She flees when stealing a look upon her; does one follow or just let go? Burying thoughts in a book and just glance down to see her beautiful glow silent eyes wander stroll alongside hand in hand heartache pages turned 2/16/2017 Poetry Contest : Form H - With A Theme Sponsored by: Broken Wings | Send Soup Mail

A wonderful poem, beautifully penned. Terrific title and your writing is gorgeous with a seamless flow that no doubt is a tribute to your talent to have the reader feel your words so effortlessly. I had not heard of Haibun, I will head to forms to learn. Congratulations on POTD It is a pleasure to read such elegant writing. blessings, lynn

Ah! I see you have hit two "H" birds with one stone, Eve....indirectly tackling Haiku whilst writing a Haibun!! Heartache and enslaved hopes of love touch the reader's heart....and that of the judge, too, I hope! Hugs // paul
