Seasons.

• Artist: raphael of tmnt
• Description: These are actually different poems. I used the Haiku formula as well as the Tanka. For those of you who don't know, Haiku formula= 5-7-5. Tanka=5-7-5-7. Also, the poems are about two characters from a role play two of my friends and I are writting. Him is in bold, Her is italicized. and 'both' are underlined. ^^;; i don't usually write poetry, XP but i was told i should submit them anyway.

Spring

A gentle caress
Spring wind blowing from afar
The trees young, renewed
Alone no longer, I stand.

That cruel wind conquered
Death Black wrested, never more
In my arms you’ll stay

Same, yet separate
Blue sky, green earth. One world
Forever we stay
While the time allowed us stands

Summer

Never letting go
Sky afire overhead
Gold halos playing
Safe embrace, with me you’ll stay.

Here I still remain
Pain felt, but a memory
Grass green and soft warmth

Cool shade, shielding dark
Remain, us here; never part.
Light surrounding, hope.
Time stopping, everlasting


Autumn

Frigid wind pulling
Returning, pain, once again
Dark Shadows lurking
Reality comes, howling

Don’t let go, hold strong.
Haven remaining, Hope bright
Never alone, stay

Surrounding decay
Shadows lurking, receding
With you, I’ll stay.
Pale dawn returning, wanning

Winter

Heartless cold, dark, alone
Did she leave? Did I let go?
The sun, shall I find?
Doubt clawing, Wind at my back

Save me, I beg you!
Pain everlasting, Death near.
Scream’ your name, echo

Torn apart once more
Wounds left open, heart bleeding
I’ll come, wait for me.
No more tears to shed.

Aftermath

The pain, gone but there
Lingering, broken, shadows
Numb and unfeeling
The end never came

Reaching not enough
Healing what can’t be undone
Her pain made my own
Chill winds receding, wounds fresh

Too late to undo
Unable to feel, to touch
Together again
Light found, a glimmer of hope.


Spring Again

Step by Step, Light near
Warm Current beneath Cold Breeze
Memories remain
Clinging to hope, each other

Stirring life within
Once glazed eyes made clear, rushing
As wounds turn to scars
His Light piercing the Darkness

Guilt, Pain forgotten
Shadows flee, destroyed. Hope strong
Healing together
Never t’let go, here we stay
