Haiku

Moonwatch
Sit beneath the stars
And watch the moon's movement
Maybe you'll learn something

Autumn's Beauty
Leaves falling from trees
Into blue-green backyard ponds
Colors showing winter soon

Springtime Roses
Roses bloom slowly
Beneath budding willow trees
While the last snow melts

Fire
The orange candel
Flame flickers dangerously
Yet still beautiful

Writing
Words flow together
To form phrases of beauty
Stories we enjoy

Friendship
Fade through time
An unavoidable act yet,
We still want it stopped

"Carus," He whispered beside her early one morning.
"Mhmm..." She mumbled from her half awake form beside him.
He brushed his fingers over her hair. "Come, I have a surprise for you."
She burried her head farther into his chest, enjoying the warmpth of his embrace, eyes still closed. She could find no more comfortable place than in his arms.

Blah, I may use it in a story, likies?

***Note: Carus is Latin for beloved***

13 Ways of Looking at Beauty

13 Ways of Looking at Beauty

I.
A smile across
Some random face
That allows any stranger
To know their happiness

II.
Warmth between
Two young lovers
Visible in their features
When in a tight embrace

III.
Quiet giggles
Of a young child
As a friend searches nearby
But still not close enough

IV.
Trees rustle above
Growing flowers
In the soft summer breeze
Enveloped in silence

V.
Blank paper shouts
To be filled with
Thoughts and art
And a mind races to obey

VI.
A family sits
At the dinner table
Laughing and telling stories
Forgetting the world outside

VII.
Silence fills the room
Just what is needed
As escape from reality
And its stress, work, and people

VIII.
Words pour into poetry
Telling our secret lives
Thoughts and emotions
For all to read

IX.
Old photographs lay
Across the soft floor
Telling stories of years past
Reminding you of each moment

X.
Curl into cotton blankets
Within the warmth of a bed
Or maybe a couch
Head resting upon a feathered pillow

XI.
Makeup colored facts
Of model-like bodies
The stereotype of beauty
Is only skin deep

XII.
The couple lay
Beneath the willow tree
Enjoying their last moments on earth
In one another’s arms

XIII.
Beyond the uneven eyes
And tangled hair
Care and compassion
Lie openly within
