Ten Haikus Once More
Death Chasing:
Accursed evil
Flaming arrows from shadows
Shooting from behind
The First Sin:
Good and evil tree
Enigmatic temptation
Rotten to the core
Christmas and Easter:
Generational
Oblivious tradition
Mingling with Baal
By God's Holy Spirit:
Flowing from Zion
Living waters all throughout
Christ's coming kingdom
The Mood:
Relative setting
Transitioning aesthetics
Environment shares

Luna’s Allure
awoke from a dream
with divine gratitude
for Gaia’s
sentient gifts
stepping out onto
the dewy grass,
see it there
in the field:
fog flowing upward
from the pond,
billowing under
gleaming
moon beams
reaching out
for the stars;
luminous
in the early hours
of dawn’s awakening
levitating toward
a deep indigo sky,
curling
in suspension…
intrigued;
the brume dances
for Luna
in the twilight
with divine gratitude
for Gaia’s
sentient gifts
stepping out onto
the dewy grass,
see it there
in the field:
fog flowing upward
from the pond,
billowing under
gleaming
moon beams
reaching out
for the stars;
luminous
in the early hours
of dawn’s awakening
levitating toward
a deep indigo sky,
curling
in suspension…
intrigued;
the brume dances
for Luna
in the twilight

Ten Haikus Again
Gender Mystique:
Alienating
Depersonalization

Freedom inanity
Fairly proud insanity
Liars skillfully

The fifth dimension
Light exits parameters
Mathematically

Fighting wars for oil
Seven oceanic landfalls
Economical
Panic:
Anhedonia
Paranoia imploring
Breathing dysphoric
Cold Junkie Hot Bath:

Even Ten More Haikus
Conjuring:
Dissociable sleight
Phantom antagonism
Never really there
In The Air:
Demonolatry
Suggestible manipulation
Poses ironic
Naked and Famous:
Personable man
Fed unto the tempest wolves
Tattering attire
Observation of Above:
Allusive heavens
Seasonal makeshift bemused
Harvesting courses
Heart in Man:
Stubborn to the core

Just another day
I wake up in the morning and the sun is shining bright
It's a pity, a shame that my life is so shite
As I put on my coat I knew I should have lied
Told work I ate something dodgy last night
I used to go in and I used to care
Made the most of my time whilst I was there
But it took me a while for me to open my eyes
No one else tries as much as I try
I tried not to drink and I tried not to smoke
The only enjoyment I had left was giving my girlfriend a poke
And even then work would take that away
They took out the p from...

The Whore of Babylon
Mainstream witchery
Spellbound delusions broadcast
Playing with serpents
Summoning presence
Dimensional pentagrams
No cure for demons
Inside of the mind
Pulling desires cycle
Social emotion
Covetous glory
Presentation imposing
To leave impression
A scarring conceit
Marketing bestial lies
Passing down hidden
Hungry monkey thoughts
Inclination directly
Taking center stage ...

Freedom In My Movement (Love Found In My Stillness)
Blinders on while wallowing in sullen garments passed down by whores
Pretty words, fletched from the wishing wells, dipped in the forefathers’ tongues feeling the karma of its fourscore
Bathing in the spillage of blood, bitter fruit echoes from the tress, yet, to the mirror’s reflection promoting self-love, not found in the depth of my purifying seas
Whips and shame lament captivity housed in chains, tattered of flesh tarred and feathered, cries of freedom no more
I have seen, heard the intellect crying during systematic pain
Color blinded by whitewashed...

An Eye for an Eye?
Where did Palestine get its war tanks from
its submarines and its spy satellites,
and its jet aeroplanes to drop their bombs,
In its fight to keep Palestine's freedoms
and land 'gainst the tribes of Israelites,
where did Palestine get its war tanks from?
And its aircraft carriers (I spied some)
in such a dreadful but, domestic fight,
with its jet aeroplanes to drop their bombs,
The Israelites take a hundred eye, for one
and more fertile land like the golan heights
where did...

Cutting it fine - NaPoWriMo 13
Why exactly do we cut the grass?
This,
and other such musings
run through my head
as I push the lawnmower around.
Doing a two step back shuffle
to avoid cutting the electric cable
and thereby cutting my lifeline.
Well,
it cant be for the earthy smell,
a nicely trimmed lawn looks nice
but it is somewhat short
on the natural enjoyment.
At least it is an excuse
to catch some Sun
and feel like a hard-working manual labourer for once.
