Haiku Poems
#haiku
Haiku is a traditional form of Japanese poetry, similar to senryu. Haiku are short poems, comprising of only three lines. The first and last lines of a haiku should have five syllables and the middle line should have seven. Unlike senryu, Haiku have a predominant theme of nature, and sometimes have no reference to humans or human artefacts.

staring at my bed
wonder if it misses me
when I am away
wonder if it misses me
when I am away

Rejected
she weeps bitterly
her children do not listen
hardened hearts know best
truth cannot be found
amongst the darkness within
the light has gone dim
the truth is spoken
but her children's backs are turned
away from her voice
she weeps loudly
oh if they should only turn
a flame would be seen
and they would return
home with loving arms waiting
to embrace them all
her children do not listen
hardened hearts know best
truth cannot be found
amongst the darkness within
the light has gone dim
the truth is spoken
but her children's backs are turned
away from her voice
she weeps loudly
oh if they should only turn
a flame would be seen
and they would return
home with loving arms waiting
to embrace them all

Just Out of Reach
It's getting harder
to remember your laughter,
It is leaving me.
to remember your laughter,
It is leaving me.

beneath everyday
melancholy molasses
coursing through my veins

The Only Clue
Because I'm human
I wasn't an easy kill
I left evidence
the tears come in waves
the horrible truth revealed
the child with my eyes
"always in your heart"
the mantra to give comfort
when the fear takes hold
found mutilated
not from passion but for sport
my love will carry
the boldest headline
fading past each edition
but forever the dad
I wasn't an easy kill
I left evidence
the tears come in waves
the horrible truth revealed
the child with my eyes
"always in your heart"
the mantra to give comfort
when the fear takes hold
found mutilated
not from passion but for sport
my love will carry
the boldest headline
fading past each edition
but forever the dad

Desert Rose
Sandy, dry, desert,
Water gone, minerals form
Tan and rust roses.
Water gone, minerals form
Tan and rust roses.

Autumn Breath
She takes the smell of
Autumn into her lungs as
She breathes a new breath
Autumn into her lungs as
She breathes a new breath

Sound of Autumn
The rustling of leaves
Crunching like ice beneath her
Feet is beautiful
Crunching like ice beneath her
Feet is beautiful

C'est explicite, non?
Love? Mutual consent.
Life? A rare yet unasked gift.
Art? All compromise.
