Haikū 58

More Haikū from my hand-written archives.





Tipsy  -  13 Jun 10

Thash all right, really
I'm fine, I'm fine, no problem
jush liddle tipsy


Odd  -  13 Jun 10

Odd socks in a drawer
No pairs ... wonder why I keep
putting more in there


Amount  -  13 Jun 10

Whatever amount
of Love you give to others
You always have more


Discipline  -  13 Jun 10

It takes discipline
not to lash out at "Fail Whale"
as it flies around


Mercury ~ Iris ~ Soothe  -  13 Jun 10

Mercury ... fleet-foot ...
Carries the Iris to you
To soothe your sad dreams





The last Haikū was the result of a triple prompt which requested that all three words were included in a single verse.  I'm pleased to say that it worked.

More archive things to come before too long.

Haikū 57

Another little selection from the hand-written Haikū archives.

In my Universe
So Lovely and Infinite
Possibilities


Clouds  -  11 Jun 10

Clouds are telling tales
Mare's tails flailing in the wind
Manes blown across sky

The gentle pressure
of your Heart on mine ~ in mine ~
Lets me feel your Love

on the paper sheet





There seems to be a Love theme in this set.  More to come soon.

Dream of You

Listening to the echoes of a dream.  Hearing me call...





Dream of You  -  26 Jan 13


My dream
Is on its way
To carry you home
To me

A wish born
Of gentle chords
Sung by the wind
Written on the air

A kiss in the night
Before the Moon
Saw us
Whisper the darkness away

The cloak of winds
Wrapped us in shadow
Dream borne
Cascading myth

Ride my dream my Love
Fly through the
Formless dark
Come back to me





Again I thank Muse for her suggestions and guidance.

Shades of Night

In these lines so many meanings lie woven, intertwined, bound in the fabric.
I read my words repeatedly and each time see something different ... what do you see?





Shades of Night  -  25 Jan 13


Opening to the dark
Mystic shades circle
In nightshade robes

Beautiful woman
Crying in her night
Room encloses her dream

Tears blur the candle
Painted stars peel from her walls
Make a doorway to somewhen

A peal of bells ring out
Cracked … discordant
Dawn breaks the night

Broken worlds lost in time
Grass conducts a symphony
Wave on wave

Ocean dark
White horses ride the waves
Canter cantata opening move

Opening to the dark
. . .





Written in the very early hours of the day, ages since sunset and more till sunrise ... Moon keeps me company as Muse whispers.

Vague  -  10 Jun 10

On a far hilltop
vague thoughts mingle with the mist
to fill my night thoughts


Style  -  10 Jun 10

Shining in the world,
like her style, charismatic ...
an inspiration


Kisses  -  11 Jun 10

Her eyes closed gently
Memories touched her sweet lips ...
Remembered kisses


Operator & Error  -  11 Jun 10

Seeing the error
of his ways, operator
only can say ... oops


Collapse & Fret  -  11 Jun 10

Previous attempts
collapse, fall and blow away
I try not to fret





The last two Haikū were the result of double prompts, each of which is denoted by the titles.

Haikū 55

Another selection from my hand-written Haikū archives.





Bullshit  -  09 Jun 10

Road to politics
paved with bullshit ... bucketloads
Just mind where you tread


Fall  -  09 Jun 10

Moment of torment
Watching your Lover fall for
another person


Stricken  -  09 Jun 10

Cannot concentrate
I have been stricken by Love
Your touch ... all it took


Sounds  -  10 Jun 10

Entry to the town
brought joy ... the ambient sounds
drowned out the sadness


Angel  -  10 Jun 10

An Angel wrapped wings
around me, took me to ... see
the Love within you





There will be more poems of all kinds soon.

Calling

Sitting, wondering what to do when suddenly Muse offered a few words to trigger a cascade of words of my own.





Calling  -  20 Jan 13


Moon over ocean
Songs calling me home
Alien stars in an
Alien sky
Beautiful … but not my own

She over me
Whispers calling me to her
Gentle Love touching
Embracing
Holding me tenderly

Worlds apart
Yet so close
Our worlds together
I close my eyes and
I am home … with you

Words from Muse are always interesting.

The Mystic's Dream

I was listening to a track by Loreena McKennitt and though I wasn't fully aware of her words, the rhythm and sound textures triggered something in my mind and Muse prompted me to write.





The Mystic's Dream  -  19 Jan 13


Falling
The dance takes
Flight
Open a window in the Soul

Silence
As the Mystic dreams
Flying
Through an image

Shadows
From an open door
Coruscate
A possible land

Beckon
Unicorn tosses his head
Waves
Wash across the shore

Dipping
Water from the well
Fountain
Drinking wisdom

Return
Through the night that sings
Holding
Places in an Infinite dream





From birth to posting only took about ninety minutes ~ with some assistance from Muse.
Just discovered that the Loreena McKennitt track is called "The Mystic's Dream", I should like to apologise for unintentionally stealing that title for my use.  Though I feel that since both works are so different there is no copyright infringement.

Symphony  -  07 Jun 10

Symphony of Love
Stars, counterpointed by the
Moon ... in last night's dance


Mace  -  07 Jun 10

Edges of the lake
Reed-mace stands in the water
Naiad staff of rank


Dangle  -  08 Jun 10

Teasing me again
You dangle your promises
before me, like bait


Fix  -  08 Jun 19

Your Love ... no quick fix
permanent cure for heartache
Thank you my Lover


Body-parts  -  08 Jun 10

Look at my body~
parts of which ... craving your touch
... cannot help myself

Night  -  05 Jun 10

Images of night
Carrying the essence of
dreams and fantasies


Grace  -  05 Jun 10

You put temptation
in front of me, testing me
to take ... and say grace

... [ for what I am about to receive... ] 


Hand  -  06 Jun 10

On my Heart, a trace
of a kiss left by your lips
as you held my hand


Conflict  -  06 Jun 10

Sunlight streaming in
Cool breeze through open window
Hot and cold conflict

Feeling energy
flowing through me as you touch
You recharge my Soul
