"Shy" couplet

Shy

 

shyly shaded underneath soft leaves green
with sigh unfurled the rosebud's heart serene

Thirsty

Thirsty

dust granules scraping
each breath a sandpaper scourge
elsewhere levees break

Midsummer's Eve

Midsummer's Eve

stillness beginning
as fresh breezy Spring recedes
thick white-hot heat waves
descending ere midnight falls
my birthday ~ Summer begins

Escape

Escape

Bittersweet

my longings turning

with ever-aching yearning;

Constantly

my longings dunning

my battered soul to running;

My heartbeat's

pounding echo:

go (now)

go (now)

go (now)

Relentless.
