Wilderness, My Friend

Posted on by Khaya Ronkainen

We share load in my rucksack
and agree, no need for bells and whistles

We assist each other navigate difficulties
and agree, anything can be accomplished

We quench our thirst from a well of love
and agree, love is a beautiful thing

We dine outdoors with birds singing
and agree, it’s time to dance

We take pleasure in dancing positions
and the moon approves.

PPS. The poem forms part of Seasons Defined, an e-Chapbook available for purchase at Amazon for 0.99 cents. Go grab your copy, if you love nature poetry! 🙂

Promise of Pleasure

Posted on by Khaya Ronkainen

At a distance, yells the mysterious creature ––

We’re tired and dozy
Will you keep it down!
What’s with the moaning?
Gloating won’t win
It’s been a long day hiking.

Sun rays bedazzle
Water a mirror reflecting
A glimpse of her world
Staring agape in wonder.
A twilight experience
As the sun winks;
A pause to welcome the night.

P.S. If you fancy nature/love poetry for summer reading, Seasons Defined, an e-Chapbook is available from Amazon for 0.99 cents. Go grab your copy! 🙂
