just placing here a series of haikus that i originally posted on tumblr for the stargazing prompt. added a few more for the themes resilience and warmth. #alwayscloti

eyes iridescent
memories flash - fleeting, far:
a star-tinged promise ***

Beneath the heavens,
lit by starlight we sit close —
heart pounding, hopeful ***

stars pulsate brightly
like beacons beckoning home
guiding me to you ***

orbs of light reflect
deep in their eyes, soft and warm
like their clenching hands

***

Hesitation reigns
but his eyes assure safety;
they jump to their fates

by the rough railroad
they roll to a halt. gently,
warm hands help her up ***

A flower garden:
fractured hope is rekindled
by a warm embrace

***

Down the stream they fall -
she enters his world and sparks
a real reunion ***

Night gives way to dawn
On a rock two souls waken
- revived, fresh with love ***

starry sky marred by
colossal rock; steadfast hearts
cling to life and love ***

there's no destiny
written in the stars, only
love forged by heroes
