Haiku Fantasy Unfulfilled Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

Haiku Fantasy Unfulfilled



Youth fed fantasy
transforming life's mystery
to transparency.

Her entry, surprise,
from his eyes waved all disguise
prepared sunny skies.

Witness she in he
as he in she startles free
voyage discovery
softly unfolding
soul's dream pane warms to shared stream
nothing withholding
calling to the day
as net of firefly rapture
captured inner Way
light touch stripped sorrow
from heart led awakening
to lip tomorrow
her eyes through his eyes
spilled over horizon ties
heralding sunrise
as curtains were drawn
while twinned soul reborn finds wings
to sing to fresh dawn
bringing without strings
acceptance in everything
ending wanderings.

Age then conceded
that mirages receded
when they're most needed.

Answers overstay
their welcome in light of day
eve ending our stay.

Youth's fantasies fail,
when age shakes awakening,
jade, fade, to taste stale
while empathy's joy
are unproven over time
turn fairy-tale toy
too seldom hopes buoy
though chase race stimulates rhyme,
so pen self-employs.
