haiku: no absolution

old friend, don't tempt me

your shadowy wiles offer

no absolution

haiku: lapping ankle deep

i have succumbed:

seductive depression waves

lapping ankle deep

haiku: light fades into dust

fie vacuum cleaner!

sucked soul lodged deep in your bowel

light fades into dust

for waa

still looking
over my
balcony
for you
- despite
the tarnish
we collected
the idea
of you
walking
up the road
up the stairs
- makes me
happy

haiku: seems like

seems like

only yesterday i was

in love with you

haiku: lil' yellow spider

promiscuous you

polygamous silken web

lil' yellow spider

haiku: puddles in my skipping wake

rain softly forms

puddles in my skipping wake

old stains washed away

haiku: disposable love

disposable love

barely meets expiry date

once un-shrinkwrapped

zeitgeist

earth's answer

Earth raised up her head
From the darkness dread and drear,
Her light fled,
Stony, dread,
And her locks covered with grey despair.

"Prisoned on watery shore,
Starry jealousy does keep my den
Cold and hoar;
Weeping o'er,
I hear the father of the ancient men.

"Selfish father of men!
Cruel, jealous, selfish fear!
Can delight,
Chained in night,
The virgins of youth and morning bear?

"Does spring hide its joy,
When buds and blossoms grow?
Does the sower
Sow by night,
Or the plowman in darkness plough?

"Break this heavy chain,
That does freeze my bones around!
Selfish, vain,
Eternal bane,
That free love with bondage bound." 


- William Blake
