(2013)
Haiku about how life can sometimes feel overwhelming
I pray for the day When my mind is clear Silence, sweet silence Schemes and impulses forgone To live without a shadow
Anticipation Generic butterflies swarm Twists, knots, fluttering They find no golden nectar Only number two pencils
Archaic toiling Through endless character streams To drown deeper still Beneath black and white waters Until I breathe symbolly
Howling and wailing Like the vast October winds Delightful to find Many who share the same chord Sing till frogs jump in our throat…
A blank white tablet Fuzzy buzzing silences Click, click, click, and yet That single black divider keeps Blinking an endless cycle
The end of the road A distance we all travel Darkness as moonlight Spreads over stone and flowers That litter our path ahead
A midst cold classrooms Seemingly short dialect Audio-connect Slowly frozen hearts will drip As conversations bubble
To etch a love song No earthy ink can suffice Only color drawn From such a naive heart-well Could paint even an inkling
Lofting lazily Enter murky depths of feel Quivering eyelids Two heavy from the weight of The thoughts that lead me astray
Seasonal ill’n Ado, ado, soft achoos Cool wind seeps through me
To cover the tears Some men will drown their sorrows Some just run away Some even will board their hearths To me? A path of rom-com
Words without meaning An open mouth seems empty Trying to express Something that dances lightly Forefront of a clouded heart
Self-expressional Crooked poster on the wall Self-intentional Will you shatter, will you fall? Who will fix your frame of old?
Life’s obligations A daunting sea of turmoil With crest after crest I’ll hide in this briny shell Till the tide forgets my name
Ask me who he is A tall tree and branches keen words drop; leaves shaken I try to collect them all But forget them by the stream
