Love is a diamond
love is a diamond
beautiful and forever
like my love for you
love is
Death
Your smile hits my heart
like a bullet to the brain
i’m crazy for you
a sliver
Love or death
shadows of lovers
turn to ash towards love’s embrace
silence falls away
embracing
Time
dust glides softly still
autumn rain hovers above
years pass silently
the past wonder
Curious
pursuit of wonder
forgotten above the sky
ending in autumn
searching for
City Dusk
i was sick for dark
all the faces blend to yours
come out , out for me
a
River
flowing down into
a deep underground basin
filling it right up
place where
Water Doesn’t Stop Us
path runs swift and just
quiet swish on the ‘morrow
flourish in a pond
we live as one
Rejuvenation
cleansing afterlife
fragrant scents through sands of time
water flows wicked
soon a
Storm
you kissed her in the rain
out in the storm
and you didn’t realize
that the rain was my tears
and the thunder was
my heart breaking.
haunting
Acrophobia
he wants to say i love you
but keeps it to goodnight
because love will mean some falling
and she’s afraid of heights
full of
Why
after all this time
i haven’t been alright
since we said goodbye
the pain of
Nightmares
silent screams
and broken dreams
haunt my soul,
sadly, that makes me
whole
an ending
Aware
stay away
from people
who make you feel
like you’re hard to
love
this is love.
Dear whomever is reading this,
This piece originally started as a collection of flash poetry in my journal; however, as I continued to write poetry (specifically haiku) my affinity towards poetry grew. I found myself creating haiku and flash poetry and before I knew it, I had over 20 scattered throughout my creative writing journal and my diary. This piece is a collection of, what I think, is my best. It starts with haiku and then moves into flash poetry at the end. Personally, I believe that haiku is the most beautiful and minimalist form of poetry which is why I chose to include some of my haiku. I also titled this piece “Ephemerality of Love” because I found that a lot of my pieces were speaking to the concept of love and time and because my blog name is “Ephemeral Love” I thought that the title was fitting. From the deepest crevice of my heart, I hope you enjoy this piece.
All the love,
The Girl with the Endless Daydream.
Dear Victoria,
This was a really interesting piece and the format is obviously one that is out of the ordinary, which I enjoyed. It added to the concept of love sometimes being brief, something that is there one minute, transitioning from one thing to another. Your exploration of how brief love is, is something that I’ve never seen before. The way you compared love to autumn, a season, or the rain, that comes and leaves briefly, was beautiful. My favorite section were the lines, “he wants to say i love you / but keeps it to goodnight / because love will mean some falling / and she’s afraid of heights”. The way you put your words together is amazing.
Sincerely,
Carolin
Dear Carolin,
Thank you so very much for such the nice comment! I never really realized that I was comparing love to the seasons – oops! Thanks for pointing that out 🙂
Kind Regards,
Victoria

Dear Victoria:
This piece was written so unusually but worked so beautifully. I loved how I got a sense of flash poetry but there was consistency throughout. I cant get over the part titled, “Acrophobia” because it just sounds pretty. I don’t usually think about diction choices but here I couldn’t help but do so. Usually, rhyming sounds planned and ineffective but you used it so perfectly.
I love your piece and I look forward to reading more.
Love,
Harmehar
