grace

coming
close by
the curtain parted

catching
a glimpse
caught red handed

noticing
nothing memory
mutated that hour

tracing
muddy tracks
hidden tale told

captured
by fear
concealed silent secret

deathbed
calling, priest
summons saintly absolution

recently discovered haynaku by way of silent verses and another blogger, but cannot for the life of me find her blog… it is ravenswing

eden

plucking
petaled roses
the scent scatters

bees
buzzing loud
tasting the sweet

gardens
fully engulfed
flames of color

my
favorite flower
remains a secret
