April is National Poetry Month.
So I thought I would offer up two haiku's I wrote for two of my fantasies : RITES OF PASSAGE and THE MOON & SUN AS HIS BRIDES.
The first is the lament of Lady Meilori, the one great love of my hero, Samuel McCord. She speaks it to the depths of the endless night as she reflects upon the emptiness of her life :
"Dreams drift like clouds,
I reach to touch the moon,
I grasp but empty night."
The second is the mumuring sigh of Kirika, a drinker of souls, who has fallen hopelessly in love with a fifteen year old boy whom she knows she will destroy if she follows her heart :
"Lonely Moon, Winter Winds,
My hungry love is
But shadows of Night."
Hope you enjoyed one or both of them. And here is a video haiku from a Zen Master :
