[symphony]

when i saw u first
when first that scent i breathed in
lush lavenders grinned

[mazHur]

when i saw u first
when first that scent i breathed in


lush lavenders grinned
Roses blushed and lilies smiled
when two lovers met

[symphony]

when two lovers met
the blue dahlias whispered
to the rose, they sang....

to the rose they sang
of halcyon isles, of white doves,
of loves and lovers...

of loves and lovers
they sang, while the leaves danced to
woodwinds of the winds
.....

[mazHur]

when two lovers met
the blue dahlias whispered
to the rose, they sang....

to the rose they sang
of halcyon isles, of white doves,
of loves and lovers...

of loves and lovers
they sang, while the leaves danced to
woodwinds of the winds

..........

woodwinds of the winds
gently rubbed against the heart
with a sense of love

with a sense of love
Romeo and Juliet
once demonstrated

once demonstrated
and left for eternity
with one blessed kiss

[symphony]

with one blessed kiss
the sky parted with the sea
and her stirring waves.

and her stirring waves
hid the tears that swelled within
in countless ripples.

in countless ripples
ran the sighs of the wide sea
as she threw herself--

as she threw herself,
merciless, upon the firm
body of the shore

[mazHur]

with one blessed kiss
the sky parted with the sea
and her stirring waves.

and her stirring waves
hid the tears that swelled within
in countless ripples.

in countless ripples
ran the sighs of the wide sea
as she threw herself--

as she threw herself,
merciless, upon the firm
body of the shore
__________________


body of the shore
was no ordinary shore
but a lover's dream

but a lover's dream
sprangled with the stars of love
on the leaf of heart

on the leaf of heart
the name of an unseen love
glows with godly shine

glows with godly shine
illuminating the world
like the cool moonlight

like the cool moonlight
the beloved walks tip toe
into lovers arms

[symphony]

into lovers' arms
'neath the care and love and warmth
a world lies hidden

[atiguhya padma]

A world lies hidden
But some would have you believe
They have accessed it

[mazHur]

A world lies hidden
But some would have you believe



They have accessed it
Like snow on Himalaya
To melt in summer

[symphony]

to melt in summer
this snowbunny i made will
blend with summer soil...

[CdnReader]

blend with summer soil
smile at the delphiniums
i am the garden

[mazHur]

to melt in summer
this snowbunny i made will

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
blend with summer soil...
and sprout again like a rose
with all your fragrance

[mazHur]

blend with summer soil
smile at the delphiniums


,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
i am the garden
i am the gardner as well
i am 'me' and 'you'

[CdnReader]

i am 'me' and 'you'
i am the green earth's mantle
i am all there is

[mazHur]

i am all there is
not a drop in the ocean
but ocean itself

[Laindessiel]

i am 'me' and 'you'
i am the green earth's mantle
i am all there is


i am all there is
not a drop in the ocean
but ocean itself

Wonderfully vivid haikus!!!

But ocean itself
Is slipping away from me.
I lost consciousness.

[mazHur]

Danke!

I lost consciousness
the moment slipped off my hands
I lay where I was

[Laindessiel]

Welcome, Mazhur!

I lay where I was
Underneath the moist sulfur,
It has poisoned me.

[mazHur]

thanks.


It has poisoned me
the parting kiss you gave me
never to come back

[Laindessiel]

Never to come back
The light that shadowed Dest'ny.
They were to rot. Black.

[mazHur]

They were to rot. Black.
The fruits of my love for you
I never knew

[Laindessiel]

You're in love, aren't you, Mazhur? :p

I never knew
That fifty six sighs could make
A person insane.

[mazHur]

A person insane
Is no less than a lover
Love and you will see

[CdnReader]

love and you will see
more beauty than your dark eye
can imagine here

[mazHur]

can imagine here
with the eye of my mind
you are a brave man

[TheFifthElement]

you are a brave man
to reach your desire, and yet
pull away your hand

[mazHur]

pull away your hand
from the flame of blind love
it burns silently

[Granny5]

it burns silently
this desire inside of me
just waiting for you

[mazHur]

just waiting for you
I lost the jewel of my youth
I can't give you now

[HPrynne]

Burn and rage away
Truth will reveal self
I will be waiting

[mazHur]

I will be waiting
until the last ray of sun
shows you the way back

[symphony]

shows you the way back
and silently cries for you
to turn and change track

[Pensive]

To turn and change track
I could have happily done
But ego is big

[mazHur]

But ego is big
like a huge anaconda
like a little rat

[CdnReader]

like a little rat
crept behind my life
hid in the darkness

[mazHur]

hid in the darkness
a black jaguar could be seen
through his fiery eyes

[CdnReader]

through his fiery eyes
my life passes so quickly
can i reclaim it?

[mazHur]

can i reclaim it?
can I build my castle there
for my Cinderella

[CdnReader]

for my Cinderella
resplendent in her silk gown
i offer my life

[mazHur]

i offer my life
lest it gets wasted and gone
for the sake of Truth

[TheFifthElement]

for the sake of Truth
our eyes must be blind, our ears
closed against the lies.

[symphony]

closed against the lies
will this varied world not be
too predictable?
(hmm people must be seeing me as a demon from hell by now! :lol: )

[mazHur]

closed against the lies
the dove of truth flies and flies
chased by the eagle

[mazHur]

too predictable?
Nay, you do not understand
this treacherous heart

[symphony]

this treacherous heart
would, by all means, deceive you
with dark illusions...

[mazHur]

with dark illusions...
surrounding the universe
hide me in your arms

[symphony]

hide me in your arms
that summer is for me to
breathe in and cherish

....

[mazHur]

breathe in and cherish
the touch of cool breeze of spring
tickles you with love

[CdnReader]

tickles you with love
a mother's most gentle touch
sweeps across her skin

[mazHur]

sweeps across her skin
a chill of arctic fever
to see all men gone

[CdnReader]

to see all men gone
a planet of just women?
what a boring place
:p

[mazHur]

to see all men gone
would be hell for women dear
no one to love them

[CdnReader]

^^^ LOL! You responded to your own last line. Mine was "what a boring place." :D

[mazHur]

sorry, I was a bit drowsy. Anyway, here it is:

what a boring place
would be god's paradise
with no women there

[CdnReader]

with no women there
the men could race their engines
growl at each other

[TheFifthElement]

growl at each other
bare your teeth, behave like dogs,
sniff each other's bums ;)

[samercury]

Sniff each other's bums
Those were good times, weren't they?
They all disappeared

[Virgil]

They all disappeared,
Fading into the hillside.
But they will howl soon.

[mazHur]

But they will howl soon.
howling is their old habit
keep away from them

[mazHur]

with no women there
the men could race their engines
growl at each other

growl at each other
punch at one another's nose
no women for men

[ktd222]

no women for men
is a fair trade. I propose
we deal in gerbals

[mazHur]

we deal in gerbils
the burrowing desert rodent
we are home for them

[CdnReader]

But they will howl soon.
howling is their old habit
keep away from them

keep away from them
sharp teeth and incisive claws
we deal in gerbils


we deal in gerbils
the burrowing desert rodent
we are home for them

we are home for them
pull up a comfortable chair
and kick off your shoes

[mazHur]

keep away from them
sharp teeth and incisive claws
we deal in gerbils



we are home for them
pull up a comfortable chair
and kick off your shoes

and kick off your shoes
relax with me on love seat
take off your stockings

[CdnReader]

take off your stockings
roll them up, tuck in your shoes
wade in cool water

[mazHur]

take off your stockings
roll them up, tuck in your shoes


wade in cool water
that will soothe your burning heart
no matter what come

[CdnReader]

no matter what come
know how much i do love thee
let it bring you peace

[mazHur]

let it bring you peace
I know I know how you feel
with us so apart

[Pendragon]

with us so apart
you make me feel enfolded
in kind loving arms...

[mazHur]

in kind loving arms
of his mother a child finds
a heaven on earth

[symphony]

a heaven on earth
has descended, in your eyes
i found dreams divine

[andave_ya]

I found dreams divine
A proof of hundreds of worlds
I do not ask more.

[mazHur]

I do not ask more
just your glimpse my beloved
on Mount Sinai

[Pendragon]

Mount Sinai
Ten Commanments carved in stone--
Broken at the foot...

[mazHur]

Broken at the foot
like a heart forlorn in love
no one to console

[Janine]

no one to console;
drifting aimlessly,
'tween heaven and earth.

[Virgil]

"Tween heaven and hell
Lies this little earthly plate.
Here we are mortal.

Hi Janine :wave:

[ktd222]

Here we are mortal.
Let's pray. I fear forever
strains my very being.

[packersfan]

Strains my very being,
is fear in and of itself.
It haunts me each night.

[mazHur]

It haunts me each night
The Dracula of desire
gnashing his canines

[symphony]

gnashing his canines
he smiles wickedly at me
but cannot touch me

[mazHur]

gnashing his canines
he smiles wickedly at me
but cannot touch me

but cannot touch me
that smiling face in the woods
I am out of reach

[symphony]

i am out of reach,
try to hold on to me, and
see me vaporize....

[mazHur]

see me vaporize....
Rise into the sky, condense
And fall again as rain

[symphony]

and fall again as rain
to feed the earth with their share
of drops of heaven

....

[mazHur]

of drops of heaven
of heavenly streams of milk
talk no more, no more

[symphony]

talk no more, no more
let actions speak, let silence
evince this moment

....

[Pendragon]

evince this moment,
see the broken man I am--
there were those moments...

[mazHur]

evince the moment
show the courage to parlez
move your flowery lips

[mazHur]

there were those moments...
which I will never forget
spent with you in love

[Zombie]

spent with you in love
lost in your passionate touch
i suck at haikus...

[mazHur]

Welcome, Zombie

i suck at haikus...
they sound so sweet to my tooth
inside my belly

[Zombie]

inside my belly
there is a lot of jelly
i like buttered toast

[mazHur]

i like buttered toast
with milk ,butter and honey
plus a touch of love

[Zombie]

plus a touch love
minus a touch of hatred
divided by you

[TheFifthElement]

divided by you
and with each little package
you give me away

[IndifferenceNME]

you give me a way
to stay here inside myself
you make it easy

[mazHur]

divided by you
no way for heart to survive
unless you conjoin

[mazHur]

you make it easy
that once was not possible
head between two ears!

[Zombie]

head between two ears!
one torso between two arms
but i have four arms!!!! >.<

[mazHur]

still less than Devi Kali
Who has sixteen arms

[symphony]

thought Devi Kali has only four!
anyway,


Who has sixteen arms?
Come out, do these chores for me,
i only have two!

[mazHur]

i only have two!
Kali may have sixteen arms
but two legs. Who cares?

[TheFifthElement]

but two legs. Who cares?
Two, or four, or six? All are
perfect in their way.

[mazHur]

but two legs. Who cares?
Two, or four, or six? All are
perfect in their way.



perfect in their way
humans with two arms, two legs
all one needs to have

[atiguhya padma]

all one needs to have
is life. Without it we just
Dissolve, dessicate.

[mazHur]

Dissolve, dessicate
is the fate of all flowers
thorns have no such fear

[symphony]

thorns have no such fear,
they prick your skin and draw a
red rose from within

...

[Pendragon]

red rose from within,
petals stained with my blood--
promised you my heart...

[Zombie]

promised you my heart
now i need to take it back
so i can not... die...

[mazHur]

so i can not... die...
so I cannot give up hope
of living for you

[ktd222]

of living for you,
I breathed for two, and exhaled
twice the C02

[mazHur]

twice the C02
is enough to kill a man
d'u know this woman?

[learntodiscover]

d'u know this woman?
to me, she is quite irksem
yet as close as kin

[mazHur]

yet as close as kin
she resembles my sister
looks like a dryad!

[symphony]

looks like a dryad
the woodlands glow green for her
the flowers submit

...

[learntodiscover]

looks like a dryad
with an air of debonnair
sawing at my nerves

edit: gues I was a little late.

[symphony]

thats no problem, learnt :)

the flowers submit
and a fragrance fills my lungs
extravagantly


sawing at my nerves
is a fear, cutting through them
extravagantly

[mazHur]

looks like a dryad
the woodlands glow green for her
the flowers submit

...
the flowers submit
to the will of the gardener
be it spring or fall

[packersfan]

Be it spring or fall,
the leaves are spectacular,
nature is gorgeous

[littlewing53]

be it spring or fall
my hands are always in dirt
the richness of life

[mazHur]

nature is gorgeous
the richness of life it has
refreshes the heart

[mazHur]

the richness of life
lies not in pelf or power
but in love and peace

[packersfan]

refreshes the heart
is every day you have loved
Love, child, please love

[mazHur]

Love, child, pl-ease love
love is not a game of kids
come and learn from me

[learntodiscover]

love child please love
hold my heart within your hands
drop it, then catch it

[mazHur]

drop it, then catch it
baby, learn to play the game
spin. swing and bounce it

[Il Penseroso]

spin, swing, and bounce it;
learn to read the flying tread
of toys lost to dark.

[mazHur]

of toys lost to dark
remind me of golden moon's
scattered brilliant rays

[symphony]

scattered brilliant rays--
from a puff, then a shaft, formed
stellar nurseries

...

[packersfan]

Stellar Nurseries
So clean as Jane and Micheal
With Mary Poppins

[mazHur]

scattered brilliant rays--
from a puff, then a shaft, formed
stellar nurseries

...


stellar nurseries
lounged in the expansive sky
radiate with light

[mazHur]

With Mary Poppins
Jennifer and John Hopkins
danced all the pumpkins

[Granny5]

danced all the pumpkins
with glee and abandonment
on this All Saints Eve

[mazHur]

on this All Saints Eve
I see sinners all around
saints gone to see god

[Granny5]

saints gone to see god
the ghosts and gobblins run wild
at least till sunrise

[mazHur]

at least till sunrise
lock the vagabonds in cage
so we all can sleep

[packersfan]

so we all can sleep
we dance all day until dark
then the moon comes out

[Pendragon]

then the moon comes out,
tranforming man into wolf--
silver bullets, Sir?

[mazHur]

silver bullets, Sir?
Brutus deserves some better
than base metal shots

[CdnReader]

than base metal shots
i can only imagine
there must be better

[mazHur]

there must be better
worlds than our universe
yet to be explored

[CdnReader]

yet to be explored
the pages of all these books
discoveries wait

[mazHur]

discoveries wait
in womb of the mother earth
to reveal themselves

[CdnReader]

to reveal themselves
prematurely might create
confused responses

[mazHur]

confused responses
is all one expects in love
order in chaos

[CdnReader]

order in chaos
repeated patterns appear
nature's mazes solved

[mazHur]

nature's mazes solved
what is left is a plain sheet
of banal pleasure

[CdnReader]

of banal pleasure
shall we partake joyfully?
as days pass quiet

[mazHur]

as days pass quiet
the bird of love flies across
roaring clouds and rain

[CdnReader]

roaring clouds and rain
sweep across my horizon
pinning me in place

[mazHur]

pinning me in place
love bird circles around me
in mad ecstasy

[symphony]

in mad ecstasy
the leaves swayed with the wild wind,
and kissed the lilies....

[mazHur]

...and kissed the lilies
on the lips of their petals
love turned them all blue

[Pendragon]

love turned them all blue,
what good is tender romance—
just screws it all up...

[mazHur]

O my naive love
a bud to flower become
needs be screwed by spring

[andave_ya]

Needs be screwed by spring.
By spring? Why not now? I am
Already a nut.

[mazHur]

Needs be screwed by spring.
By spring? Why not now? I am
Already a nut.

Nuts have to be cracked
and seeds pounded in the crock
to make them behave

here is another conforming one,,,,

Already a nut
when crushed in the jaws of crock
ceases to be nut

[packersfan]

To make them behave,
why do you abuse them at all?
why not just kill them?

[mazHur]

why not just kill them?
why not just let go and love them
arn't they humans?

[packersfan]

aren't they humans?
but they don't have human rights
and you're just sleeping

[mazHur]

and you're just sleeping
and pattering what comes your mouth
go take a shower

[packersfan]

go take a shower
snow just freezed your baby toes
and i know you're cold

[mazHur]

and i know you're cold
and require some heat of love
to survive winters

[scarlet pain]

to survive winters
fluttering of little wings,
in search of safe warmth.

[Pendragon]

in search of safe warmth,
Icarus flew towards the sun--
melted wax wings fell...

[mazHur]

melted wax wings fell..
like flakes of a broken heart
sighing and dying

[Zombie]

sighing and dying
i feel my insides frying
and yet i push on

[mazHur]

and yet I push on
as I am destined to push
unless someone pulls

[TheFifthElement]

unless someone pulls
the weeds from the path, callers
will trip on entry

[mazHur]

will trip on entry
so he took the other route
yet could not enter

[littlewing53]

yet could not enter
without the forgotten pass
oh dear, where is it?

[mazHur]

oh dear, where is it?
look at the sky blue and see
passes of black holes

[littlewing53]

passes of black holes
pieces of light just beyond
hold loosely to now

[mazHur]

hold loosely to now
tomorrow is far away
come give me your hand

[littlewing53]

come give me your hand
together we won't get lost
darkness comes quickly

[packersfan]

darkness comes quickly
so come and you won't get lost
promise me we'll find light

[scarlet pain]

promise me we'll find light
cause we are the bugs of fire
our fate is to die

[Granny5]

our fate is to die
after a life together
in each others arms

[ktd222]

in each others arms,
we stay stuck, until someone
declares a thumb war.

[TheFifthElement]

declares a thumb war
the battleground waits, digits
ready, set to fight

[symphony]

ready! set to fight!
my tec eyes will sure find you
wherever you go
...

[mazHur]

wherever you go
the shine and warmth of your love
will make flowers bloom

[Pendragon]

will make flowers bloom--
lilies and orange trumpet
vines are my favorites...

[karo]

vines are my favourites
intoxication follows
when the grapes are ripe

[ktd222]

when the grapes are ripe,
I'll pick them, then throw them at
the neighborhood kids

[mazHur]

when the grapes are ripe
let them ferment in a drum
when done,filter, drink

[TheFifthElement]

when done, filter, drink
to the absent lover who
used to share the wine

[ktd222]

used to share the wine
with Aunt Jane - drunk lady cart-
wheeling down the street.

[mazHur]

used to share the wine
with my drunken buddy fine
who is no more mine

[mazHur]

wheeling down the street
It is not Kabuli Wala-
but someone his kind

[symphony]

but someone his kind
was strutting the same way, as
he did when he lived....

[mazHur]

he did when he lived....
love me like a mad lover
I realized not

[packersfan]

I realized not
the feelings you had for me.
But yet, I am pleased.

[mazHur]

But yet, I am pleased
for the favor of your love
you gave and took back

[Zombie]

you gave and took back
all that i have given you
except for my heart

[ktd222]

except for my heart,
which I lent to my neighbor
for holloween night

[mazHur]

for holloween night
I packed my heart in a box
and shipped it away

[littlewing53]

and shipped it away
to a far far away place
no return address

[mazHur]

no return address
freight collect, by surface mail
this is no love dear

[littlewing53]

this is no love dear
when we have both gone astray
call me and let's talk

[packersfan]

call me and let's talk
you've been away for just so long
my heart only cries

[mazHur]

my heart only cries
it cannot sing any more
my love is away

[Pendragon]

my love is away
heart-broken, rejection hurts
last phone call from mom

[mazHur]

last phone call from mom
just before she passed away
said Hello and dropped

[_JadeRain_]

Said Hello and dropped
All his luggage on the floor
came home for spring break

[mazHur]

came home for spring break
stayed for a while and then left
unfaithful lover

[ktd222]

unfaithful lover
to her chocolatier, she's
now dating a nut.

[mazHur]

now dating a nut
forgetting all about past
like a ***** in rut

[karo]

like a ***** in a rut.
is it mating season yet?
in some places, yes.

[mazHur]

like a ***** in a rut.
is it mating season yet?
in some places, yes.



in some places, yes
it is always happening
but you do not know

[AdoreroDio]

but you do not know
when the next time will occur
that glorious day

[mazHur]

that glorious day
when our love shone on the sky
and gave light to sun

[karo]

and gave light to sun
fusion, two burning as one
radiating life

[symphony]

radiating life
pulsating in every beat
in a rhythmic dance....

[ktd222]

in a rhythmic dance,
I flailed my arms and created
the jig-ga-boo-boo

[kiz_paws]

The jig-ga-boo-boo
A dance short-lived but so fun
Lets do it again!

[scarlet pain]

lets do it again!
draw over the walls and paint
with my blue marker!

[symphony]

with my blue marker,
amazing how i can lift
my spirit up high...

(I love the smell of the spirit in the markers, my favorite fragrance! :p )

[TheFifthElement]

my spirit up high
skims the atmosphere. The Earth
looks great from up here.

[packersfan]

looks great from up here
from up top the great oak tree
cities underneath

[Pendragon]

cities underneath,
wondering why haiku has
turned so unmusical...

[packersfan]

turned so unmusical...
so why don't you just make it
much more musical?

[Pendragon]

much more musical
lullaby of butterfly
floating on moonbeams

[packersfan]

floating on moonbeams
flying on stars high above
music of it all

[TheFifthElement]

music of it all,
as note carries note beyond
the edge of known space

[mazHur]

the edge of known space
is too dangerous to walk
step into my heart

[packersfan]

step into my heart
the door's wide open for you
please just take a look

[karo]

please just take a look
what is it you are seeing?
is it likely so?

[mazHur]

is it likely so?
that your door is still open
for this late comer

[symphony]

for this late comer
unimaginable fate
awaits quietly

[jon1jt]

awaits quietly
my love of snowdusk moving,
in the gray ice floes

[ktd222]

in the gray ice floes
a hunk of lard, because fat
is insoluble

[jon1jt]

is insoluble
as the eyelids snow over
in dusk do we part

[ktd222]

in dusk do we part -
you there - me here - and just the
world beside the light.

[jon1jt]

world beside the light
both of them are mostly you--
I, between my self

[TheFifthElement]

I, between myself
fallen through shadows, hearing
whispering voices

[mazHur]

whispering voices
in the cosmos all around
say we are in love

[ktd222]

whispering voices
in the cosmos all around
say we are in love

this is beautiful, mazhur

[Nigita]

Say we are in love
With life, Say we embrace its
smooth finality

[Pendragon]

smooth finality,
bows with elegance and exits--
broken heart remains...

[mazHur]

broken heart remains,,,
desires reduced to dust
dust sighs with the wind

[barbara0207]

dust sighs with the wind
tempest-tossed boughs cry in pain
brown leaves whisper death

[mazHur]

brown leaves whisper death
hollow trunks yawn like monsters
ready to gulp life

[symphony]

nice one barabara. :thumbs_up

brown leaves whisper death
runaway breezes forbid
to die as mere souls

...

[symphony]

hmmmmm....

ready to gulp life
the silver waves await stark
opportunities...


to die as mere souls
wretched lives gave in to vague
opportunities...

[mazHur]

hmmmmm....
