Roses bloomed?
Violets still closed?
Flowers,
Standing with swollen buds,
Tossed beyond the shadows,
Yet waiting—
For the moment a blossom opens.
#poetry #freeverse
In the darkness ahead,
a small flame flickers uncertainly.
Who will guide my trembling hand?
I remember your face,
and step by hesitant step I move forward.
Surely a moment of rest will come,
and the light will find me.

Wind carries softly
Bush warbler sings in the cold
Chill brushes my skin

I long to touch your poems,
peeking softly in,
and you gift me love’s verses.
Endless scenes unfold,
spreading the scent of roses
over a world of smoke and ash.

Swaying mimosa
Wind of thankfulness blows
Spring within my heart

Time flows,
blossoms fall silently,
and I watch from afar.
Wishing joy for what unfolds,
while keeping my distance,
letting the heart find calm.

Chilly morning
Petals softly drift in air
Time slips quietly by

Beneath the cherry blossoms
the poet writes again
the world anew
soft are the petals
sharp are the letters
between them
last year's season
unravels quietly

Awkward little song
a bush warbler in the reeds
spring comes quietly

Bright sunlight whispers of spring,
stirring leaves in gentle breeze.
The brook wakes from its slumber,
carrying crystal-clear songs.
Grass peeks from the earth,
the sky glows soft and pale,
and the world begins to move again.

Morning light flows
Hope held close along spring path
I step forward

Last spring the rose
opened without fear,
spilling into bloom.
This year it strains,
forcing petals wide,
spending its last
strength and grace
to bloom the same.
Above it,
a bee laughs.

Thank you so much🙏
Thank you so much!
Car rushes past —
Crisp, refreshing sound fills the air
Cold sky stirs my heart

Shaken by a sudden storm,
I cry out, reckless and bare.
My heart laid open,
Monochrome thoughts racing through.
Spring’s tempest
Sweeps and pierces me fiercely,
Like a premonition
Whispering of what’s to come.
#poetry #freeverse
The birds trill the joys of paradise,
And flowers bloom in love’s celebration.
The breeze softly carries
A little whisper meant for you,
And within it, your smile
Unfolds quietly today.

Rain drifts softly—
memories stir in the quiet,
morning weeps with me.

Just liking things,
doing what I love,
watching what I love—
is that a kind of sin?
Just liking things,
without denying, without agreeing.
Simply spending time in calm.
And that is enough for me
#poetry #freeverse
🙏😊
In the mirror,
I see myself
loosening my hair.
As if freed
from entanglements,
I comb it in silence.
What is reflected
is no one—
someone like me,
yet not myself.
Enduring existence
through silence.

Watching you leave—
I don’t call your name.
Winter morning.

The boulevard gathers crowds
and quietly draws loneliness.
Neither day nor night,
five o’clock drifts between.
Returning, leaving, hesitating—
unnamed feelings search for a place to rest.

🎨Louis Anquetin, "Boulevard Clichy, 5 PM" (1887)
silent winter hush—
softly, footsteps drawing near,
gentle breath of spring

Unbearable boredom.
Days asking for no stimulation.
Yawns and sighs gone.
Only distorted time flowing—
walking through nothingness.

Powdered snow falls
Car wipers beat a soft tune
Winter drifts along
