This week’s prompt for One Single Impression is Miracle, provided by Geraldine of Take a Happy Break. It inspired me to write this haiku about the miracle of life:

Through window I stare
surrounded by loneliness
I see only me
~
Mirrored moves, in a
perfect choreography
of ungraceful dance
~
My gaze travels on
lured by the magnetic storm
that I feel, is you
~
Your eyes are aflame
tearing my soul into yours
and I stop breathing
~
Walls come crashing down
around my heart now is space
could it be, could it?
~
Lights flicker and die
and when I open my eyes
your vision is gone
~
Claimed by The Underground
UNDERGROUND – prompted by
~
Candles
flames aflutter
in unseen currents
wrap their golden glow
around us
the Muse and I
float on a hint of music
where she is tempting me
luring me
in trance
my fingers stroke the keys
words alive in our minds
we create
…
A fury of shrillness
ruptures our haven
…
The Muse fades
startled
I call out to her
beckoning
and she returns
to fondle my ear
her whisper is faint
but I still hear her
eyes slightly unfocused
my hands resume
staccato rhythm
…
Again insistent sounds
pound on our bubble
shredding apart
what words remain
…
The Muse
translucent
hops onto my desk
crawls into a drawer
gently I try to lift her
but hazy eyes blink
she curls up
shimmers
gone
…
I curse, sigh
and pick up the phone
~

MUSE – prompted by
“The Muses in Greek mythology, poetry, and literature, are the goddesses who inspire the creation of literature, science and the arts. They were considered the source of the knowledge, related orally for centuries in the ancient culture, that was contained in poetic lyrics and myths.”
~
Made of thought and air
she floats into dreams, gently
wings into the haze
~
Feather light her touch
on your skin, she lingers soft
until the winds fade
~

“The three great elemental sounds in nature are the sound of rain, the sound of wind in a primeval wood, and the sound of outer ocean on a beach” – Henry Beston
ELEMENTAL – prompted by

twin of heart, stay close

Prompted by
~
sweetness, fulfill me
surpass this envy and bile
for I need to live

Prompted by 
~
How can I be wrong
when stars light up in your eyes
whenever we meet
~
How can I be wrong
in bringing down my heart’s walls
my trust so complete
~
How wrong could I be
to pour in an endless well
I’m dehydrated
~
