I'll Always Remember - 'Haikuized'
The moment we met.
Haunting meadows in springtime,
Your slim silhouette.
A slumbering fawn
Awakes in new morning dawn.
The ghost of your eyes.
Your singular smile
Feigning figures and fancies.
The phantoms that guile.
Fair feathers were fanned -
Ruffled wing of a sparrow.
The touch of your hand.
Inside still a boy.
Body burning aflutter
I jittered with joy.
The sound of your laugh.
Ocean waters were splashing,
A midsummer bath.
We strayed on the strand
Your hair, long, tousled and blown.
A moment, alone.
I started to spin
Beneath skies opening wide.
Your breath on my skin.
Being drawn aside
The mysteries of love unwind.
Two tongues are entwined.
Falling from above
Fires we shared in late fall.
The fury of love.
Passions which flowered,
Painted stars the night showered.
The brightness of day.
Your name and ‘farewell' -
Two words tolled in winter’s sky.
A shattering knell
She left while I slept.
A farewell note near the nook
I read while I wept.
Note: this was an attempt to ‘Haikuize’ my rhyme “I’ll Always Remember” – thus, it’s a learning experiment...
Experts, please forgive...
