OCTOBER HAIKUS
Grey like foggy days
Rivers sludge toward oceans
Icy bricks float on
Icy bricks float on
Downward from the river's source
Winter takes its toll
Winter takes its toll
The freeze settles deep inside
Finding hidden seeds
Finding hidden seeds
To sow this love of writing
Reap my heart's content
Reap my heart's content
Rip open my brimming soul
And ignite mind's eye
And ignite mind's eye
With beauty that hath abound
Seek, beyond this plane
Seek, beyond this plane
Wonders which expand the mind
Space and time, boundless
Space and time, boundless
Exploration unending
Locked in a small ship
Locked in a small ship
The pirate in a bottle
Sails the living room
Sails the living room
Child above the carpeting
Parents' hearts go still
Parents' hearts go still
Now, all doubt has been replaced
Swelling with their pride
Swelling with their pride
Is the reaction each time
They see his new bride
They see his new bride
She brings out his love, his soul
Stirs desire and lust
Stirs desire and lust
Plus a touch of larceny
To her recipe
To her recipe
Add some chocolate for lust
And sugar for sweet
And sugar for sweet
But nothing to eat it with
Is my tooth's lament
Is my tooth's lament
really very poisonous?
Or chocolate hoard?
Or chocolate hoard
by loose brained chocolatiers?
Oh... misunderstood
Oh... misunderstood
The words he said so sweetly
"Will you become mine?"
"Will you become mine,"
"Wait a minute," she replied,
"This ain't Valentines."
This ain't Valentines
But it is an utterance
Of humour and jest
Of humour and jest
The mask is fabricated
To hide our sorrow
To hide our sorrow
We don robes of chocolate
Fill our mouths with wine
Fill our mouths with wine
Partake in communal bread
Holy feast, divine
Holy feast, divine
Raw tuna on seasoned rice
Sushi for Christmas
Sushi for Christmas
Noni prepared just seven
I order in mine
I order in mine
Dreams, illusions, fate, designs
A handy machine
A handy machine
Fingers tap on the keyboard
And stories come out
And stories come out
Frozen digits stir plasma
Empty feelings flow
Empty feelings flow
Like smoke, coiling translucent
Ghostly tracks ascend
Ghostly tracks ascend
Take possession of my heart
Only memories...
