lightning’s ap-peal
the thund’rous storm snaps
to reality
the dreamer awakening …
a nightmare scenario

lightning’s ap-peal
the thund’rous storm snaps
to reality
the dreamer awakening …
a nightmare scenario
.
.
from source to soul
detoxify the mirage –
a matrix of lies
.
each train ride –
a tourniquet of boredom
constricting my heart
.
character review:
a blank personality –
my poker face
.
descrying this world
conscientiously objecting
to normalcy
.
methods twist –
where darkness falls – reason lies
invoking nature
.
earth, water, air … fire!
fingers twist conjuring shapes
transforming futures
.
bitter thoughts attack
inaction’s utter violence –
the calm in my eyes
.
the mundane facade
before it is unleashed
prepare for the storm
.
feel the pressure wave:
smell the rain before it falls –
hear the gust – it comes!
.
sliding doors open
silently disappearing
the calm of the night
.
this thread I walk –
this tangled web:
where dost it lead?
.
people say they know me – knew me
a poor man – crazy man:
Ha-ha-ha! Ho-ho-ho!
Old and battered but breathing
the subtle things;
but now they say they don’t – didn’t
unable to rely on appearances – experiences
the sickness is illusion
and it is fortunate to meet
with men wise to the Tao
Haiku-heights theme: desert
long my shadow falls
across your sheer faces –
the low angled sun
.
a fine thread sewn
into the curved hips of dunes
footsteps in the sand
.
each grain of rice climbs
the arcuate dune lifting
ripple by ripple
.
yearning for water
winds dry the salt on my skin
a deceitful kiss
.
the sky shimmers
seven colours play
with promise
.
sand grains jump
excitedly
emulating rain
.
just a shower
of heavenly light – all else
evaporates
Haiku-heights theme: tree
have you no shame –
flamboyant decoration
simply brazen
.
the keys coloured sun
conspicuous in your guilt
even grass blushes
.
in supplication
blood soaked palms raised skywards
penitent
.
fly, wing-ed forms, fly
the gentle rustle – oh listen!
the snake barks
