In trail of Feathers
24 October 2015
The sun felt hunger
For the skin on my forearms
Its texture and touch
I hid in the ice
Cooling me in peace restored
Forgetting the sun
Its hunger clamoured
Reaching out to me in ice
Clad in my winter
Knowingly I plunged
I had shed clamours of you
Nightingale behind
The bird mutated
It grew blue from my traces
My sky-bound agent
Shrill it pecked at Heart
Its beak robust though so slight
Spent through ice cracking
.
Eyelids fluttering
Awoken from my slumber
Open Eye I kept
In between noises
I heard your distant sharp cry
But kept Heart in check
I know of a Soul
That drifted in oceans’ stares
Growing stark and bleak
Unbroken always
Backward loop kept me alive
Time will not come back
Diverging paths watch
Heavens choices can be read
In trail of Feathers
I stilled Hearts and Minds
A moment of Peace and Love
Pondering choices
.
Wish you were here – Bliss
Pure as snow – Momo
I’m sleeping under the Dead Tree – Films
Breathe – The White Birch
Leaving – The Last Days
Not Broken – Skye
The Time will never come back – The Last Days
Enjoyed the prose and the images.

Thank you. It is poetry in the form of a collection of Haïkus following the traditional format (5-7-5) in the stanzas but not necessarily in the content.

Thanks again :-). If you find the format nice to read you might want – whether here or elsewhere – to read some tanka too (somehow considered the ancestor of haiku and with a more defined and extensive conceptual format). Tanka offers an interesting balance on our internal workings as opposed to the world outside and by this gives substance to the all within is without ponderings that can eat at our soul if we are not able to integrate the concept successfully.

Welcome, yes I do. It should be on the menu in this blog if you press on the word at the level of the header you will get to a page which has a link to all the tankas written on this blog.

Thank you Mihran. In almost every one of my poems there are hidden words/meanings. One can only see with the Heart though
