Twilight Petals

Each time I say I will

wind takes words,

carries soul

beyond horizon

where clouds sing,

beyond last promise

into jasmine land,

where gate never closed

on your love,

where I still hear your laughter,

if it was gone in just a second

heart still remembers

wish,

the one I made holding your hand,

when I turned dust

into twilight,

when heart felt butterflies

enter sunrise.

***

Petals across the sea

light lingers,

but a breath,

far,

and yet close

to whisper

of fireflies

waiting to kiss

that ray of hope

you let none see,

fan of emotions

and the wings you grew,

transparent,

made of steel,

other side of forgiveness

teach the leaves

where love can land,

where home waits among flowers,

where your voice meets my dreams

above the clouds

twilight

stardust.
