We

We met, a brief moment in time, a passing encounter, a long goodbye.  From the beginning it seemed only goodbye, missing each moment before it passed, longing for time,  Tick, Tick, Tick, the sound of your heart beat, your golden eyes, sad eyes, shadows haunting me, your form cast on cottony clouds, the silvery beast stealing you, the time is gone.  We are gone.

silhouette on glass
your image lingers in me
sweet bird fly away

We are together, time passes, but I see you... again.  Beautiful island, reflections of you, mountains, beaches, cascading falls, all are you.  Exotic beauty, mine for a moment, walks in the forest holding hands, lost in the trees laughing, white skin bronzing in the sun, soft skin, supple and smooth, pineapples and strawberries and passion... fruit,  I leave.  We are you and me...again.

only thoughts of you
sadness is my companion
what poor company

We marry!  Love, joy, happiness, our time has come, together now, my dream, our dream fulfilled.  We are we.

our time has begun
you and me now so much more
together as we

Your last line is a stunner. However I feel that your last prose lacks the elegance of the first two. So, while I would like to thank you for entering my contest, and in doing so making it the success that it has been, I am sorry to say that this piece will not be going through to the final 20. However I will be giving this poem a honourable mention, so that others can follow the link, and enjoy.

Thank you, Scott, for taking your time to comment on your decision. It is much appreciated and I totally agree. Perhaps a re-write on the last prose is in order. Wonderful contest. I love the Haibun form. Thanks again.

This is very good with superb imagery and the emotion grabs you from the start and never lets go. Emile.
