Like milk and honey
16 February 2016
We will meet quiet
Where snowdrops once pierced in birth
On snow powdered cliffs
Chalk white images
Dance in playgrounds of my mind
Glassy retina
Double leap of faith
Continuous pace of dream
Into ether’s cream
A dip into blue
Velvety home to my kind
Raised in buttermilk
Waters will wash off
Age-old fluid cleansing tool
The condensed sorrow
I wrap around you
In smooth effortless fusion
Like milk and honey
Reading of the poem:

Written in the context of Ronovan writes Haiku Challenge. Ping back and rules here
Wish you were here – Bliss
Edvard Hagerup Grieg – Sissel Kyrkjebo – Solveig’s Song from “Peer Gynt”
Homeland – Sissel & Prince Igor
Fallen – Delerium & Rani
How dreamy ! 😄

The image of wrapping gently, softly, and yet with a strong passion brought sweet sensations in me. A wonderful chain of haiku/senryu forms. Loved it!
