#NatureSpeaks: 30 #Poems in 30 Days – Day 10: Scattered Sakura, by C.X. Turner

I find you
in the flower
and the water

in tears of late winter
early spring comes true
gently trickling

love
flows softly, intently
rippling between us

yet scattered
sakura petals…
drift with the current

ceasing to resist
integrating my present
with a smile

I find you, again

Scattered Sakura was inspired by the poem Cherry Trees. You can read more of C.X. Turner’s poetry on Twitter here.

ghosts linger

ghosts of the past
linger

in my memory

with a sky full of love, dried
bone, and blood

which come

by land and sea, this onslaught
always pervades me

as I watch
the trees sway back and forth
remembering

the truth about this paradoxical life course

Breaking waves,

frantically felt…

Earth Our Home, Published at MasticadoresIndia

I am so pleased to announce that my poem, Earth Our Home, is now available at MasticadoresIndia. Thank you to Terveen Gill, and the team at MasticadoresIndia for their continued support, and for publishing this piece.

Earth Our Home

I sit atop the stairs, reminiscing on times fair, and difficult beyond repair. As the pain continues to arise, and the memories flood my mind, my heart continues to wage a war with love at the center of despair.

I pick myself up, dust off the self, and…

I would be honored if you would go here, and read the rest of my poem. Thank you!

the fragrance delivered…

I’ve seen you, the mirror bestood
the shelled husk, and
the ground spoke
in tones
musk

scent delivered, atmosphere tense,
boiling over imminent

as presence fills my being with a firmament,
languid colors
arise

it is
the nature
of everyone
to despise, yet

love is always there, hiding in the alcoves
of hearts and
minds

remove
the fragrance delivered,
and let love
reign
far,
and wide…
