Memoirs
Suggestive fingertips chattering, begging Waterfall whispered. Man trembled.
Sweet Venom by Tera Lynn Childs
A poisoned *breath*,
*Smoke* clouds the air,
*Danger* bleeds through their minds.
A *reflection* breaks,
Another *silent* fall,
No more can they *resist*,
Temptation will not slip *away*.
This is the *magic* of love!
Slaughterhouse Five: Disengaged
Seldom-engaged middle-aged men,
sick of the game of imagination,
never their name in history,
no idea of victory,
just border satisfaction.
So it goes.
Summer
Emerald window the summer fell
More magical days flower warm
Love jewel-bright it in ever star-strewn lights burst
Trees meeting you as stolen June glitter
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
The Devil in the White City by Erik Larkson
Write wishes that span
trusses of fragility;
turn this dangerous balance
to limitless wonder
of which was achieved.
Down, Down
Miserable mountains!
Dark heart and hard eyes. The half-
Imagined creatures.

The Unfathomable Sea
Light:
Somewhere
Angels wait,
heart's beat
trust and strength,
gladly
standing
morning strains
in stern array,
without kneeling
far away;
saved
by love
to tell this story-
a friendship feeling
supremely deep;
the unfathomable sea-
grandest part
inside of me.

Treasury of Song (circa 1917) by Robert H. Coleman
Note: maybe a little longer than a micropoem but I didn't want to stop the words which wanted to be shared. I hope no one minds!

Treasures tinkle swirl forgotten
Floating bright stream gushing
Pleading delirious hallucinating rationality.
