Love Surfs the Waves EDP Publication

http://www.everydaypoets.com/love-surfs-the-waves-by-maire-morrissey-cummins/


Wrapped in the warmth of a June night
under the light of scintillating stars,
you point to the Milky Way,
my gaze follows yours
as I catch the moon in your eyes.
We walk hand in hand on the beach,
our whispers sprinkle the dim light.
Your smooth embrace tickles my face,
tumbles my hair,
tingles my toes
beneath an ebony sky.
The candy-sweet scent of Valerian *
weaves with the salty sea breeze.
It entangles our love,
unravels it
in the pulse of the waves
and binds us forever
in the surging surf.
 
*Valerian is a hardy perennial with heads of sweetly scented pink or white flowers which bloom in the summer months.

summer sunshine
windows in the city
twinkle


powder tresses
of acacia blooms
yellow moon


Moselle valley
leaves unfurl
on the grapevine


vespers
from the monastery
evening stillness


cumulus clouds
form castles in the sky
summer noon


after a downpour
jasmine
scents the twilight


ancient city
buildings curve
new pavements


hand motionless
over a box of popcorn
suspense


silence
thickens the waiting room
the clock stutters


sunlight
illuminates a slate roof
thunder clouds loom


coal fires burn
smoking the city skies
pale moon


dawn chorus
birdsong competes
with his snoring


jets chalk
a cross in the sky
church bells toll


summer stroll
my shadow ahead
competes with me


wet woodland
footprints overlap
on the forest trail

winter wedding
steps to her future
etched in virgin snow
 


Below haiku was mentioned in the Editors Choice with the significance of Lilac in wedding bouquets

haiga hay fields



hay harvest
fields of wrapped summers
rolled up for winter

stormy beach
leaning into the wind
rollers crash the rocks

haiga pine

scent of pine
potent

silver trails shimmer
May sunshine
