A gentleness lays in the poet's undergrowth. It sings w/daffodils & waters our flesh w/ camellias. I breathe the birdsong from words they provide, & in the business of discombobulated purpose among life's flickering bulbs, all twines whole & safe again.

And there inside her bloom,
Driftless to drifting light~
Her soul rests,
Beside..the river bank,

Delicate pleasantries in hiraeth,
Heartbreak's ragged panchard bloomings
With forgotten sanguine eyes,
Joy stirred in thickset strength,
Carvings streaked benign,
To crash in bouts
Of taut thoughts
Unto
You.

Flirt cerulean seas
To flicker a universe
And glide comfortably there,
Drink the starry night
And spin the moon to yarns
Of helical wildness~
Jade your eyes weird
And effortlessly wonderful there,
Unparalleled
In every stair view step,
Of everything..beside us,

hidden
ancient thrift stores
the scent of
musky aged books
long forgotten

resurrected when
a lover of words
opens fragile covers
she travels
to far away places
in another time

do not disturb
a girl
in love
with books
poets are awaken
reading yesterday's
words

Her flesh
A rose moon kiss
Of wildness~
His touch to hers,
Interlaced
As one..
Their love..ricocheting
Through the moors
In darkness..
Twin souls of love..
In a tale,
~
Of once..

They of us
An where lives pay

Hidden in sight unable
To ourselves—#transform
We no fable

For it is for their wishes
If they only listened
They’d have showered under our riches

“Unable to *unearth from this spot and free my love from a marriage I was sure she didn’t want, I gave into depression. My tears flowed into this stream, making it a powerful river.” As he spoke, water threatened to overflow the *shoreline. LiminalChronicles

He spent years fighting that illusory perception of self, by merging with the background, by trying to be invisible, but he failed every time.
Finally, he understood that the real challenge was not to get lost, but to find himself, and then he found permanent serenity.

The enormous peak leaned to hover over Reizei and my view from the portal. Darkness from the spirit’s shadow *heralded early *night. Its eyes glowed bright, fixed on me through the portal window my tengu friend shakily held.

I couldn’t *feel the wind rushing by, but I could hear it. Seeing *lush forest below took my breath away. My own perspective had been limited as a ground dweller.

Reizei quietly landed across the river from the remote mountain.

We combed the map for anything that matched the clue. Bingo! A *branch ran into the Nonogawa river!

*Dread crept in and clung. Approaching this powerful yokai had no *undo. We’d face the consequences, good or bad. LiminalChronicles

Eyes hauntingly stare
into mine soul with such flair
Your magnificent creations
Romantic poetic flirtations
Excited my heart flutters
I'm now writing with inspiration
We've become two lovers
writing about life's creations

“You collect yokai tales. I was one who asked you to collect our local stories. Might I suggest studying the *haunted houses popping up?” Reizei said.

“The rumor of the mountain with eyes also intrigues me. Which should we *visit first?”

The moon and the earth linger far from each other. Like the eyes they never meet yet they cry and they laugh together. So cruel is their fate

Starry night moonlit
Lovers crave for each other
Love’s soft touch unlit
