Velvet sheets
Haikus of Haunted echoes.
Crimson sheets of lies
Moonlight beams as twilight sighs
Red Velvet whispers...
Through window, moon glows
Limbs tangle 'twixt velvet shame
Regret fast approach
Purple hues beckon
Twilight's skies blush from on high
Dark recedes from guilt.

Aurora Borealis
A prismatic Lantern's beam of golden sunlight pierces the air in the still moment after the sun had set. The aurora borealis unfurls like a celestial pirouette across the northern sky -ribbons of green, violet, and crimson weaving through the darkness with ethereal grace.

Well-wrought! A different sort of haunting, though one which lingers perhaps more than any ghost.
Each haiku paints a vivid scene wrapped in passion, guilt, and twilight beauty. The sensory language immerses readers in a world both intimate and haunting.
🔥 This was a slam dunk AD! It is so fiercely elegant! Get it gurl! 💪🏾🎉
You do have the gift for this form of poem. Great descriptions of each and some did have an erotic tone but not X-rated.
Love the title. I wonder what would be on top of or under these velvet sheets when I scroll down 🤔 A powerful first line. I can imagine the sheets becoming, something that whispers. The second haiku makes me feel like something is coming fast. And the realisation that it is shame and regret. A story of passionate velvet... Smash. Spicy. I like it a lot 🤗❤️🖤
Beautiful imagery. I love how the colours shift with the mood in each verse. 🌙✨
Oh saucy...naughty...velvet lies so lovely/ well met.
A trilogy of being wronged, excellent words
