The Ink Dark Moon: Love Poems by Ono no Komachi and Izumi Shikibu

[inbetweenimperfectmusings]

You might not love me,

But in ten years time, you’ll miss

The way I loved you.

John Ashbery, "37 Haiku"

[gr3n0nion]

She smells like the sun

Sunflower halos wed us

Spring is at our feet

[pen-pain-poetry]

how I longed,

for you to see the hurt

i was facing

[jordynhaiku]

Laying in the shade,

this rose is forgotten like

a worn-out paintbrush.

[therobertisaac]

How strong is our love?

Will it outlast our problems?

Will it fade away?

Fracture

A rhythm, a feeling, a melody— depth lingers before it’s snatched, then snapped, cracks and dents, all blank.

[metamorphesque]

Blossoms at night, and the faces of people moved by music.

Blossoms at Night, Kobayashi Issa ("The Spring of My Life: And Selected Haiku by Kobayashi Issa")

The Ink Dark Moon: Love Poems by Ono no Komachi and Izumi Shikibu

[inbetweenimperfectmusings]

I can’t stop thinking

About whether or not you’re 

Thinking of me too. 

[petrichor-poet]

The smell of your breeze

And the sight of your sea will

Always stay with me

Yet there is one place

That calls to me more than your 

Sea and its salt breeze

So far from your waves

Lies a house painted in green

It sits silent and waits

— elizabeth

(Traces of Me: Haiku Set #4)

[gr3n0nion]

I still bleed your name

Even though you’re skies away

I see me and weep.
