High above,
No judgment,
But no love. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #86 – Moon”
Haiku Sunday – Shaft
“Shaft”
Burning eye through the leaves,
one last heated breath reaching
to stave off the night.

Misplaced Missive #91 – Passion
All that passion needs some release.
Unable to keep it leashed,
I submit to the will of its own making
Changing into something Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #91 – Passion”
