Sip those sunsets, time isn’t bottomless. Let that cold wind kiss your deep dark tresses, while your soul sinks with ‘nother day’s eggress. Sshh, be still, as evening sky undresses. Let that cold wind kiss your deep dark tresses. Tired feet, be bare, let dusts be your toes guests. Shh, be still, as evening sky […]

Watch her arch her burdened back, Open her bruised arms, far and wide, Murmur tearful yet grateful chants, As she inhales hate and breathe out Nothing, oh nothing, but love. — 03.08.2019 ©2019 Rosemawrites@A Reading Writer.

t w e e t s & t u r m o i l s (a haibun)
Long day, or perhaps, for me, today is longer. My head throbs, or perhaps, it is my brain complaining, as it tries to still serve my body close to collapsing. “Why am I not enough? Why can’t people work just right?” I ponder as I go out of the concrete, tall box filled with files […]
r e b i r t h ( a pantoum*)
It’s time to pick my pen, bleeding has now begun. This soul yearning for zen, with strings of fears undone. Bleeding has now begun, scabs scratched with cruel hands. With strings of fears undone, lost solace sinks in shaken plans. Scabs scratched with cruel hands. may healing start to flow. Lost solace sinks in shaken […]
spell poem with an I
I the poet, is me the poem. With lilting rhymes marking the thumps of this, this, this, travelling heart. With floating rhythms concocting mem’ries– faded and unseen– by this, this, this, restless mind. With idioms and similes, hiding the evidences of familiar melancholy, and glee. With verses sweet oh, so, sweet, as honey or stinging […]
midnight wish
open palms, wet with salt of sweat and tears, reach out outside as glass pane’s fog clears, like a yearning new branch of a house-caged vine bending, sneaking, reaching out for sun, these palms, brined with my excreted liquids stretch out to feel the breath of the cold December wind, wishing this same midnight breeze […]
song soup
take that cup, the china one, dusting inside the unlit cupboard. pour some notes of G and D, let your whisking fingers swirl, and swirl, in the key of C. see how the dancing strings strum this stew of melody. now let’s sprinkle, sprinkle, the lettered honey dripping from the flower inside your chest, rest […]
last leaf
cheers for choked up tears, cries without list’ning ears. cheers for wistful dreams caught or lost in raging streams. cheers for days of cavalier where lone strength perseveres, cheers for named fears fin’lly found courage sears, cheers for ‘nother year, lost hope grows, reappears. — 12.04.2018 ©2018 Rosemawrites@A Reading Writer.

g o l d s m i t h ( a haibun )
Whenever I look back, I see the zigzag road of twists and turns, of ups and downs, my once proud heart has been through. I was a decorated student. My dad won’t walk with me in graduation ceremonies without a medal. His standard has been my fire. To excel. To be the best. To aim […]
shark words (a quintilla)
Inks turn red with breath of anger. Spit shark words, too deep, a dagger. Lost forgiveness in stormy sea, swirled with hate, no serenity. Let go or be drowned forever. — 11.23.2018 ©2018 Rosemawrites@A Reading Writer. All Rights Reserved. Photo via Unsplash For dVerse Poetry form: English & Spanish Quintain.
