#Illusion#vss365
Sleep, sleep my restless mind
in her love let me unwind,
even if love is an #illusion
let me dream of a beautiful life;
Holding hands, watching sunrise
walking bare foot on beaches at night,
even if dreams are an illusion
let me dwell there for a while.

Is it love,
or merely an #illusion
I keep chasing in its name?
I wonder, I question,
I unravel every possibility,
trying to reason with my heart.
And then I see youโ
and all my questions dissolve,
my doubts surrender,
my perplexity falls silent.
Perhaps love isn't always
something the mind can explain.
I knowโ
this isn't a fallacy,
but a love
I cannot imagine living without.

He wants to get everything right,
so he thinks everything twice.
Inside him, a hungry wolf
zealous, restless, never full,
eating up quiet evenings
and turning them into questions.
Oh, if he could just feed it peace
instead of fear.
#wolf#vss365#prompt#haiku
A lone #wolf stands tall
Beneath storms, it guards its light
Dawn answers its call
Wild hearts never kneel
Even broken wings can rise
Hope outlives the night
Let our courage bloom
Until death remembers us
Love will leave its mark

The #Wolf
She reads him
Through his fierce eyes,
Through his protective shield,
Through the heartbeat
That beats for her.
She is in love with a Wolf,
A risk she has taken upon herself.
She knows he could devour her
Anytime his hunger strikes
And his prey is within reach.
But still, she chooses him.
The Wolf.
Because with him,
She doesn't have to be afraid
Of her own wildness.
With him,
She can become a Wolf too.

She tries to intuit
which category of rain he is:
the kind that lingers in the air
like clenched fingers
which never unfurl,
the kind that plucks strings
at her window,
violins within sacred drops,
learning the art of her desire,
or the rampaging storm
unleashing the #wolves
of her flesh,
so she knows whether to hide
behind shuttered windows
or to dance, untamed,
under his downpour.

the maple tree
lets go of its leaves
the pond returns
the face I have now
among the names
I find the ones
I still say aloud
angels keep
their stone hands joined
November drizzle
gathers in their wings
beyond the wall
#wolves lift their voices
the living
calling to the living
He was never afraid of the wolf inside him.
He was afraid of the woman who might look into its eyes and refuse to run.
She never asked him to silence his hunger or disguise his darkness.
She simply touched the place beneath his scars where the beast had forgotten how to trust.
With her, his fangs softened, but his instincts grew deeper.
And that terrified him.
Because a #wolf knows how to survive the wilderness.
But nobody teaches him how to survive the thought of losing the one woman before whom he no longer needs to bare his teeth.

Time be a #wolfโdevouring light
Sowing black dahlias in our wake
Running shadows through the night
Bound to the choices we must make
An endless race in deep dark space
Fed by the need for a meaningful chase
adding @chandanas - Another poet that I enjoy a lot.. Some of the other names, Priya had already included in her list..
Also would highlight @iamwitwicky. I quite enjoy his words as well.
I loved you a little more today,
I missed you a little more today,
Why are you there where I
cannot reach you,
Why are you so distant?
Come hold me,
One more time. Just one more time..

Linger awhile after the end,
Savoring each breath we take,
Let us share this exhilarating moment,
as we slowly absorb the essence of our passion.
As the sweaty pearls trickle down,
our faces drenched in a diamond rainfall,
Our eyes exude the calm after the storm,
and our bodies glisten in the reflection of moonlight.
The world pauses for a moment,
to let out the breath it has been holding,
The universe seemed to want this,
as much as we both wanted it.
The streaks of dawn sneak under the blanket,
peeking out from behind the clouds,
As the world wakes up to the glowing sun,
we close our eyes to our world's night.

I know what makes desire dangerous: two people trying to walk away while something inside them keeps reaching back. Even silence cannot convince the body that the story is over.
As they say,
Time heals
To me
Time reveals,
Reveals what we can take,
Ans for how long.
I still find your absence,
Loud enough in my presence.
But,
I belive one day.
I won't be here to explain,
How I miss you and what next to say.

โWhat are you waiting for?โโจโNothing. Just a little lost.โโจโWhy?โโจโI believed in love. Love did not believe in me.โโจโThat's confusing.โโจโI thought love was direct, emotional, beautiful.โจI thought it was music, soul, spirit.โจToday it left meโจa lone #wolf,โจempty hands,โจhollow heart.โ
