Haiku

Living in Syllables

This is meaningless   

only words thrown into space    

Like all thoughts begin-


Never knowing first

I keep adding beginnings

And leave this one here


 

Nature keep me still 

Keep me internally free

Eternal spirit

 


Hold onto your grace

Allow your spirit to shine

Nature will abide



My work makes things right

routine consistent effort 

God’s grace I go on





Taking forever 

Only went in for one thing 

Happens every time 




Sun after the rain 

Rise after the fall once again

Daylight is for sure




My soul left body

But was not too far from reach

I breathed me back home




Fear of an old self

He jumped right into the front

I thought he was dead



  

Real unfocused thought 

What can rhyme with that, distraught? 

That’s why we edit

 

 

Bent in a hunch 

Pursed and ready to go now

Lost at the same time

 

 

Never a reason 

Though some of us walked away

They shot us all dead

 

 

Natural haiku 

Rhythm of the universe 

Write words that free us

 

 

My name is my name

My parents gave it to me

I think I’ll keep it

 

 

Bananas taste good

So why not enjoy a few?

But not all at once 

 

 

Quiet is the muse

Though he is very active 

Silent observer



 

Table top party house

Dancin’ shoes don’t fit no more

My toes they hurtin’

 

 

Natures window PAIN!

My eyes bleeding from the soul

Rip me from this life

 

 

knocking dreams from view

Putting one into focus

Now it’s time to run 

 

 

knocking dreams from view

Putting one into focus

Now it’s time to work 

 

Find a place to work

Quiet internal focus 

Now you are at peace

 

 

Trees stand in the grey

Still, frozen on the inside

Waiting for the spring

 

 

Eyes crust in the morn

My vision becomes unclear 

Senses inside grow

 

 

For the day is long

And the night she comes too soon

So I’ll sleep some more

 

 

i am rationale 

Though not always rational 

Speaking for myself 

 

 

I’ll stop trying now

You will never be better 

It is sad to see 

 

Decisions of you

Where you land and who you like

I don’t understand 

 

Son, as your father 

I feel I need to do more 

Like your wound is mine 

 

A wound you don’t see

But I feel I may have left

Guiding decisions 

 

Mending may not heal 

Or is it I who is blind? 

There may be no wound

 

Why then do you hurt?

Struggle so much in yourself

Anger comes from pain.

 

Or no fault of mine

Something that was built within

Nature not nurture 

 

 

 

 

May my morning strength 

Last the day through-  until

The night comes around 

 

 

 

 

 

Before thirty- four

It all seemed so strange- this world 

Now it is just weird 

 

 

my forsaken self

fetal alone far away 

Hiding in my mind

 

 

“Cock- a- doodle- doo

“Pizza”- she knows the rooster 

Up on the counter

 

 

golden sunsets fall

do what they’re supposed to do

Then i shall rise too

 

For the day the sun

Does not rise above the sea

That’s the end of me

 

 

New York October

Leaves that were green now turn gold

Rain ushers in cold

 

New York November 

Leaves continue to turn brown 

Rain ushers in cold

 

The voyage fruitless 

The journey is within me

Searching for a heart

 

 

For the new ideas

Built on the backs of the old

Ain’t a hole of beans

 

 

 

Stars and nebellula 

Cosmos and planets align

She will call your name

 

 

All that throwing mud

Left me crawling in a hole

Now i live in there

 

 

Sickness in the mind

Won’t fight the body’s disease 

Cure your inner soul




Fighting within me

Are are two animals of love

One says no, one yes

 

 

Always in balance 

Just trust that the time will come

Nature pay its bills

 

 

Humidity sweat 

Remove my impurities 

Prepare for the fall

 

 

Mystery abound

Though your direction is true 

Each day is brand new 

 


Look behind no more

You’ve now found a new way 

Nothing left to choose

 


History Plateau

Before it declines again

Find yourself a perch  

 

 

Poking fun at him

Laughter for us all today

But tomorrow tears




My inspiration

Internal forces loosen 

Invisible guides

 

 

Never looking back

He lived an analog life

No lessons were learned

 

 

Rib cage hold me in

Mornings i search for escape 

My soul wants freedom

 

 

A Daily Refrain

Practicing repetition 

Mountains are conquered  

 

 

Ashes we become

Still dust to blend with soil

End of a lifetime

 

 

 

 

Daily coffee roast

Routine drink I enjoy most

Let’s go get it done

 

 

 

Rearrange my mind

New Year’s Day Every Day Here

New plateaus to find

 

 

Piano Music

Brings the morning into light

Softly falling notes




Nature’s Solemn Soul

Perpetual Dignity 

Your heart holds us all

 


Night fatigue sets in

Quiet head becomes hazy

Time for some TV

 


Rays of bright sunshine 

Break through white clouds of azure skies

Bringing light to all

 

 

tree leaves blow around 

birds flying below grey sky 

Grass will soon be fed

 

 


motivation now

locomotive direction 

Non stop down the track 

 

 

A breath from heaven 

Crosses over me in the shade

Breeze in the summer 

 

 


Hot summer daze sun

You send us scattering round 

Mostly to the beach 

 

 

Old pit in my soul

No matter how you call out

I keep you at bay

 

 

Old pit in my soul 

No matter how you call out

A pit you shall stay

 

 

You won’t drag me in

No matter how you call out

Old pit in my soul

 

 

Expectations die

Exceeded by mystery 

Need no longer try

 


Ageless you may be

To try and deceive me now 

But to me your old



Creating patterns 

Fibonacci sequences

Shells, trees, flower, storms

 



Erratic hazes 

Teenage boy and his phases 

Those days are long gone

 

 



It all sounds so good 

Temptation you feed the mind 

Evil deeds of soul

 

 


Natural movement 

Decided by your mind’s soul

Choose your shoes wisely 

 


 

obsidian girl 

Your body is volcanic

Metamorphic rock

 

 


Silence those demons

Feed them your laughter and pain

Follow freedoms plea 

 


 

Creep along the ground 

Contemplate your life not sleep

Breathe but not too deep

  

 

 

 

Water running fierce 

Down onto the rocks below 

How silent you start 

 

  

 

 

Move right and I die

Move left and live one more day

Go straight then I shall

 



Remiss if i do

Doomed if i decide not to

Better then sit still





Haiku don’t apply

False wisdom in syllables 

Brevity you ain’t 

 

 


Her light intimate 

Burnt in her mind and her heart 

Her life eternal




Good bad and ugly

It is all democracy 

We are the people 



Weighed against the scale

Tethered to rules against mores

Finally break free



consistencies box

doesn't need a lid if you're

imaginative




Routine simple thought


Keeping me on the right path


Piece by piece we grow 

 



 


Profitable talk 


Words in your mind before dawn 


Become what you think 

 




Smooth and on the move


One with music in your groove


Liquid state of you 

 




 

Patter of rain calms


But will soak suede green loafers


Stay in–     my slippers. 

 






 

Bright jewels tempt the eye


Worldly prisons cage the mind 


Take some pills to sleep





I hope all is well . 

Enjoy your day and weekend.

Stay safe and keep well




blank spaces deep breaths

Right into my minds center 

habitually 




There is true freedom 

Coloring in given lines

With love style and grace 




Lamented sorrow

Pain that I used to enjoy

Grief will come again



Or it was never meant to be

Fractured into 3

Made to look like 2



Out in space online 

Drifting floating throughout cosmos 

While in my chair 



Don’t know how i look

this morning– just groovin round-

Music in my ear



Had some fear to pass 

Did not know-  it was disguised 

Under much laughter 




Standing still in time

Dreams supposed to pull me through?

My home is my world-

 


restrained from my love

invisible urges lure me 

pulling me toward her




who counts syllables

Who notices this line’s seven

the haiku–that’s who 




small western world night 

trek up the mountainside

blurry lines of light





Beautifully  Broken 

Across the vast ocean’s waves 

Love-Light now fading 




Concept delusion

Mass scale mental contusion

Now bruised to the bone






Woke on the wrong side–

Vision half baked in white light 

Toasted bread burnt black 





She wanted to dance 

Of course I agreed, only if

She’d let me lead




Unaccustomed deed

Received in the time of need

Swift kick to the groin





Caring Mother Earth

While few listen to your cries

Distant planets moan





Deep dark loving eyes 

how will you tell her what’s right 

you don’t know yourself? 




Waiting for an end

when none is clear in sight

best to recreate



Drops on a windshield 

And roof offer pleasant sounds

Waiting for pizza 




Worry not children 

Stand with love in the center

Pain hides from no man





This poem is for you 

Each and every word in it

No need to thank me-




Where are millionaires 

With superhero costumes

Now would be the time 





today it's for me

not for anyone, but me

hope you still like it





Bicycle in sand

Pedals pushed, Wheels turn and grind

Slow Motion in time 




Doctors need patients

Music Ears– Teachers Students

People Need People 



Too young for the truth

Too old for mother’s fiction

It is all the same




Freedom of what now

Is freedom worth dying for

Honor all at rest 





all we have is time

now they've come to realize

though this is not new



Harmonious Tide

Pulling back from the days end

The sun welcomes you



Ancient silver stone 

Wisdom in the morning sky

Another Grey Day



No peace in these words

Anger fueled by vicious hate 

A tornadoes wrath 


Anger breeds anger

If love reaches out a hand                             

 make sure you take it


Cotton covered mouth

Learning to smile with your eyes 

Too many cry for help




The price of winning

Is often more than losing

Is that why you played?




Circadian pulse

Slow this maddening April pace

Tame my inner beast 



Crank up the volume! 

Because the song ain't changin’

Adjust to the tune




Obsequious man

Slave to lies, heart’s bent senses

Details are your doom




Whisper in silence

To yourself, words for all man

Believe none of it



Whisper in silence

Resounding joy and sadness

Everything hears you 



Drinking turtle tears.                                    

radiant butterflies dance 

Don’t cry leather back! 



Sweat on my pillow 

An ocean from in my dreams

The salt from my tears 



The morning owl’s song

Backdrop to the peeking sun 

Usher in this day




Connecticut beach 

Over 15 years ago

Left my face behind 



 

Struggle sharpens faith 

Smooths jagged uncertainties 

Strength in knowing

 



Swirl pearl, diamond dust 

glistening gems, thoughts robust

Starry Skies– I don't trust




Merrily– Life is

a series of decisions 

and unbelievable scenes. 




Serling’s Maple Street 

Twain’s Huckleberry Finn 

Our humanity 




What if I never?

Doesn’t really matter anymore. 

Never really does. Never did. 



Obey and submit

Robots have taken over

1101 





New needle to thread 

interlacing direction–

Politic helix 




Back at home again 

The heart that is always here 

Is now larger still 





Recovery is 

Easier when you can look. 

In your newborns eyes 





Most I ever had

In fun that is -  was today

Until tomorrow





Sick with thought these days 

Makes haiku more difficult 

Less churns into more 





Old wooden toy box

Protect–with your heavy oak lid 

My toy xylophone 



History binds us

Yesterday to today 

Makes us who we’re are 



Birth decided fate 

Demographics plot the map 

Divided darkness 



Invest in yourself 

leave all you know behind

Gamble time, right now



History repeats 

But when does it ever stop?

When the sun is gone?  




my new Persian rug

fell upon my wooden floor

bare feet and naked sleep




the plastic bristles 

engage in daily grooming

ritualistic stroke




Sure could be easy

But then- what fun would that be?

None at all of course





with thousands of ways

infinite varied reasons  

and only two ends




When it comes to two

It’s not love for eachother 

It is love for life.  





with thousands of ways

infinite varied reasons

And only one end




I shot my brother

my twin but never the same 

I was always best 




Don’t question the darkness 

Same as you accept the light 

It is all part of one 




the stones in the grass

in the green fields of the past

burned and turned to ash




the stones in the grass

in the green fields of the now

burned and turned to ash




The lord only knows 

Long-awaited silent repose 

For all of the dead




no cooperation 

feelings of a boring day

smile and push through 




death comes at any time

morning night, old or in youth 

Are you ready now?




the perpetual song

the peaceful symphony 

plays through the darkness  





Bright burgeoning light 

everything is as seems

Life and dreams burst through 




For me it is real 

share red chocolate-filled hearts 

valentines day love





spirituality 

avoid negativity 

gotta go to work 





Beauty in all 

Everything that she is

She is my true wife





Beauty in all 

Everything that she is

I wish I knew her





beauty in all

everything that she is

She is one with God

  




Up worried at night

Thinking all is negative

You must change yourself




Up worried at night

Unable to see the light

All is– that is meant to be





Down under the sky

Evolving days, not one hue

Compromise with love





A Fortunate Love

Floating Among the Broken

On a grey morning





A lonely cloud

Stationary in the blue

My dreams tend to drift





odd days random thoughts

something exciting is 

cannot be sure what







Woke on the wrong side

Arms and legs are now scrambled 

And my eggs won’t crack 






Woke on the wrong side

Now my doors won’t open up 

And my knees don’t bend






On line for my gun 

Ready to kill for my needs 

‘if it steals– it bleeds 





Run in the morning 

Now my head’s a throbbing 

Time for some coffee 




Mornings Dark Coffee

The day is defined by you 

Calm before it starts 





Mornings Dark Coffee

The day is defined by you 

Thanks for all you do





no real sleep last night

groggy anticipation

eyes on the road!




Saturday Morning 

Always something to do

Monday back to work 





quite a bleak outlook 

but it depends how you see

no morning is dark 





The begin of all

What came first word or a cry?

I wasn’t around 





I write all my days

and I dream all of my nights

What I am to write




At my classroom desk

Feeling trapped in circumstance

I pick up my pen 




All work must be done

For time to finally free

New Philosophy




New life on the way

mysteries amazement 

beauties pure truth



The begin of all

What came first word or a cry?

I wasn’t around 



The truth in my life

Radiant light of God's hand

Bring me your blessings




You are now broken

Once were so beautiful

What is to become?




the beauty of the 

Of all their eyes really 

With just one look.



school can help you 

better fly your own sails

learn which way is up



My alarm goes off

awake and ready to go

have you seen my keys?



gracious morning

the euphoria is dormant

alive and ready inside




spontaneous night

no one knows where it will go

likely home to bed 




Friend or colleague 

Who says both cannot coexist

Business status?




Feel the birthday joy

You were brought onto this earth

Celebrate today 



God read me a poem 

Lord- sit us down on your lap

Teach us some new ways


Let’s now turn the page. 

It’s how the ignorant learn

Expressing all rage 


Been turning for years

No ignorant don’t ever change

Mandatory tears 


No one’s safe to pray

It’s how the ignorant learn

My son’s soul is gone


Like I beat my wife

When she don’t want to know right

Told her five years now


Nope still the same one

Took everything she owns too

Family friends all that stuff


White collars must pay!

Burnt that old church to the ground

Priest touch my first boy


Please beat me senseless 

It’s how I forget

Stone me with some rocks


Pillage and plunder

It’s how the ignorant learn

Watchin’ cities burn 



Vacant behind eyes

Innocent– he’s hear no more

My son’s soul is gone




All l want is you

My how it fades over time

Now I want the dime 



All I want is you

My how it fades over years

Now I wipe the tears 



Hide under your skin

The new day is to begin 

Yesterday recalls 


Greet the morning air

with songs of praise and worship 

Yesterday’s gone -  



Broken hopes for life

Walk the city streets till dawn

Curled on sidewalks now 


Nature thunders loud

muting gently falling rain 

There is no debate


Don’t know where you are 

Even though you are right here

Hope to see you soon
