the wind disperses pollen
of love on flowers

heavy with cloying perfume--
they call it a "bed"...

[mazHur]

they call it a "bed"...
you can lie or jump on it
in blissful harness

[_JadeRain_]

In blissful harness
Swaying between two palm trees
Such a calm beach scene

Such a calm beach scene
stirs the ocean of my heart
with hot waves of love

she slid into bed with him

hand at the small of my back
warm breath on my neck

[mazHur]

warm breath on my neck
is surely going to melt
me down like chocolate

[Pendragon]

"me down like chocolate"
sounds like a very bad rap
song mouthed darkly...

[mazHur]

song mouthed darkly...
not your fault. All things taste bad
in senility !;)

[symphony]

in senility,
hair greying, the world a blur,
a relaxed liquor

a relaxed liquor
drooping in your palm, tends to
bring sudden flashbacks
....

[cleo]

bring sudden flashbacks
I remember our first night together
It was pure heaven

[Pendragon]

it was pure heaven,
no pearly portals to pass--
walked no street of gold...

saw no Tree of Life
no One Sitting on a Throne--
only you alone...

my ingenuity....

[mazHur]

"grow up, my love, grow",
they say, but i so enjoy
my ingenuity....

my ingenuity....

your precariousness

[symphony]

is your weapon against all
the peace in this world...

inner child still lives

hidden in secret chambers
shrouded in shadows

shrouded in shadows
of dark lashes, her eyes still
had a secret sun...

one clue: meaning--what?
like the rays of sun, one clue
speaks in billion ways

The sun, the stars, moon, the night;
Prove my Creator.

Speaks in a billion ways
The sun, the stars, moon, the night;

a joyful racket

[Il Penseroso]

a joyful racket
breaks quiet air, shaking twigs
to tumble cover.

[jon1jt]

not so seasonably mediocre to me. nice one there.


to tumble cover
summer-lights broken. Sign reads:
Winter wanted, dead.

[Il Penseroso]

Thanks jon. not so bad yourself.


winter wanted, dead
twisted joints uprooted in
cold post-life luster.

[jon1jt]

cold post-life luster
evening chill tossed glumly
into the fire

[Il Penseroso]

into the fire
empty our consuming thoughts
leaving lighted halls.

[jon1jt]

leaving lighted halls
night drags farmers towards home through
a bridge weathered green

[Il Penseroso]

that's about it for tonight. have a good one jon

a bridge weathered green
flashes bulbs on feathered hills,
woodwork left obscene.

[jon1jt]

have a good night, captain. i'm done too, the red wine sending me down! take care.:)

woodwork left obscene
as Shakespeare's words, "kill lawyers!"
best to work with wood

[jon1jt]

best to work with wood
those years of tears and spilt beer
gather on the floor.

[symphony]

gather on the floor
of green woodlands with woodwinds
played in mottled green

[Pendragon]

by sleight of hand worlds are born.
Life is mystery.

[mazHur]

he brings light to life
and he extinguishes it
what should I call him?

[mazHur]

Life is mystery
life is a fools paradise
we all live in it

[symphony]

we all live in it
and still the world doesnt bind
the birds as they fly

[mazHur]

the birds as they fly
are kept separate so that
they do not collide

[kiz_paws]

They do not collide
inside their large glass houses
think of the chaos

[mazHur]

think of the chaos
electrons have to pass through
to form an atom

[Janine]

to form an atom,
a hush fills infinite space,
split atoms explode

[ktd222]

split atoms explode.
a split second to hold, split pants
embarass the old.

[symphony]

Embarass the old,
thereby entertain the kids.
Thats how it goes, dude.

Two Kinds: The quick and the dead.

her head tipped to one side
I, facing the sun.

[jon1jt]

in sound of silence
she astounds me with kissy
hypotheticals

[mazHur]

hypotheticals
gestures in matters of heart
kill the soul of love

[Il Penseroso]

kill the soul of love,
flay the ecstatic skin and
welcome emptiness.

[mazHur]

welcome emptiness
of shallow people around
repent for ever

[kiz_paws]

Repent for ever
never able to go back
to adjust the past

[mazHur]

to adjust the past
make amends to your present
future will be bright

[kiz_paws]

Future will be bright
if we have faith in ourselves
to make the changes

[mazHur]

to make the changes
you will have to destroy past
and all that is sick

[kiz_paws]

And all that is sick
can be touched by the healing
that love can offer


Ha ha, that was fun MazHur, but time for me to say goodnite! :) Kizzo

[mazHur]

that love can offer
cannot be compared to what's
in material world

[ktd222]

in material world
one uses human hair for
exfoliating skin.

[Pendragon]

exfoliating skin,
said to make one look younger--
foolish vanity...

[littlewing53]

foolish vanity
offers momentary rest
the seeing mirror

the seeing mirror
only sees inside of you
the only true you

The only true you
lies hidden - waiting for what
you need to trust me

[mazHur]

you need to trust me
I am a non-living thing
I am a statue !

[jon1jt]

i am a statue,
waiting for art to lower
its ropes to take me

[kiz_paws]

Its ropes to take me
were my hopes and dreams you see
and my own free will

[mazHur]

and my own free will
is just like a pussy cat
with a meowing face

[jon1jt]

oh that's a good one!

and my own free will
a boy returning petals
to a stem, freely

[kiz_paws]

With a meowing face
the Mardi Gras commences
smell the Roux cooking...

[mazHur]

smell the Roux cooking...
the Gumbo 's getting ready
prepare for the bite

[jon1jt]

smell the Roux cooking
then the ravishment of imagination
it's time to indulge!

[mazHur]

it's time to indulge
moments will evaporate
if we ponder much!

[kiz_paws]

If we ponder much
the time for doing will die
keep the flames alive

[jon1jt]

keep the flames alive,
"Is this what's on my inside?"
said the artistman

[kiz_paws]

Said the artistman
no words needed, just brushes
as we mutely gaped

[mazHur]

as we mutely gaped
a fly went into his mouth
and laid her eggs there!

[kiz_paws]

And laid her eggs there --
or could they have been ideas
waiting to be hatched...!

[jon1jt]

waiting to be hatched...!
the earth harried and swirled, her
face in the water.

[mazHur]

face in the water
Narcissus saw his image
fell in love with it

the tangerine twang in clouds~

Meat and milk free state
Illegal products while here?
I am moving on...

[mazHur]

I am moving on...
where on earth are you going
milk and meat are here!

[packersfan]

Milk and meat are here,
I haven't dreamed for ages,
that they'd be right here.

[AdoreroDio]

That they'd be right here
oh, I didn't realize
they protected me

[packersfan]

they protected me
of all the imperfections
for my innocence

[Il Penseroso]

for my innocence
light a spark, rail heretic
in dark held by walls.

[packersfan]

in dark held by walls
claustrophobia kills me
there is no. way. out.

[kiz_paws]

There is no way out
might as well get acquainted
me myself and I

[jon1jt]

there is no. way. out.
so. let me. write my oprah
of self-pity: O'

[Il Penseroso]

me myself and I
squeeze in infinite circles
of self-pity: O'

[kiz_paws]

of self-pity: O'
that I could perfect myself
and ride with the wind

[Very crafty, Il Penseroso, thanks for combining the two!] :)

[Il Penseroso]

not a problem, kiz. :)

and ride with the wind
in landscapes churning with change
sleeping through the night.

[kiz_paws]

Sleeping through the night
filling my head with colours
of un-ending dreams

[mazHur]

of un-ending dreams
is made this bright moonlit night
haunted by the day

[packersfan]

haunted by the day
and by the darkness of night
haunted by it all

[AdoreroDio]

haunted by all
feared by nothing, I hide
and I wait for you

[kiz_paws]

And I wait for you
my morning cup of coffee
can't come soon enough

[Pendragon]

can't come soon enough
the morrow, ending today--
Morpheus, I come...

[kiz_paws]

Morpheus, I come...
send visions to my closed eyes
chase away my cares

[packersfan]

Chase away my cares
into the darkness of night, and
see them tommorrow

[kiz_paws]

See them tommorrow
all the cold fluffy snowflakes
blurring my vision

[jon1jt]

blurring my vision,
linear notions forbid
all shades of light/dark.

[crazefest456]

all shades of light/dark
converge under prisms held
by withering hands, ten.
----
eh, forget mine, it doesn't make sense to me...

[jon1jt]

all shades of light/dark
like any window painted black,
becomes a mirror

[Pendragon]

becomes a mirror
reflects visions of future
midnight looking glass...

[mazHur]

midnight looking glass...
looks doubly bright in full moon
resembling your face!

[yewon]

resembling your face
snowman in my garden
snowy days make me sad

[mazHur]

snowy days make me sad;
memory of old good days
spent with you give warmth

[TheFifthElement]

spent with you give warmth
as an opening line just
makes no sense at all!

[mazHur]

why>
spent with you give warmth
those moments of endearment
now lost in the cold!

[crazefest456]

now lost in the cold!
My bleeding heart wails, "Sorrow-
the demise of thee,

[Bebbin]

the demise of thee,
that beautiful face I love
now lost forever

[mazHur]

now lost forever
that I was before you came
and had your cherry

[kiz_paws]

and had your cherry
such lazy days on the farm
full of happy times

[jon1jt]

full of happy times
like that night with the cabby,
a sociopath.

[kiz_paws]

a sociopath
twisting actions right and wrong
live for the moment

[mazHur]

live for the moment
there may be no next moment
you only live once

[Il Penseroso]

you only live once,
the second past is bottled
with no broken clasp.

[Wyoecho]

with no broken clasp
the virgin's chaste is hidden
from the terrible truth

[Pendragon]

From the terrible truth,
Obtain forswearing before
Courthouse precedings...

[kiz_paws]

Courthouse precedings...
man pitted against himself
the same old struggle

[Susan Sonnen]

the same old struggle,
she strives to thrive and blossom
beneath his control

[mazHur]

beneath his control
is neither of the two worlds
he is just a man !

[Etienne]

he is just a man!
rising from clay to aether skies
fly homunculus!

[mazHur]

fly homunculus
take me to my coy mistress
and just leave me there!

[kiz_paws]

And just leave me there
beneath skies of azure blue
and forests so rich

[mazHur]

and forests so rich
with life swiftly vanishing
nature loses charm

[kiz_paws]

Nature loses charm
when litter dots the landscapes
and smog fills the skies

[packersfan]

And smog fills the skies
factories stand high above
and no regret at all

[kiz_paws]

No regret at all
animals run for their lives
the rainforest dies

[jon1jt]

the rainforest dies,
News flash: "Artists gather with
free verse, paint, and pets!"

[symphony]

steaming cofee to go with--
"paradise enow"!

[mazHur]

paradise enow"!
heavenly wind is blowing
seems the flood's over

[Pendragon]

seems the flood's over,
cataract becomes trickle,
will broken lives mend?

[kiz_paws]

the rainforest dies,
News flash: "Artists gather with
free verse, paint, and pets!"
Woot! Loved it! ;)

will broken lives mend?
concentrate on positive
focus on visions

[jon1jt]

thanks...not so bad yourself there, kizkiz

focus on visions,
tearful guitars cut my skin
with razors words blunt.

[crazefest456]

with razors words blunt
here lies a bloody cherub,
clawing the ripped cloth

[jon1jt]

now that's a kick butt haiku there. nice one, crazefest.

clawing the ripped cloth
releasing cross stitches clean,
I just felt so found.

[firefangled]

I just felt so found
thin lips reddening, no sound,
sun setting in snow

[kiz_paws]

Sun setting in snow
restless winds teasing the fields
time to light the lamps

[mazHur]

time to light the lamps
time to show way to the blind
let him hold the leash!

[kiz_paws]

Let him hold the leash
learn the way of the canine
step out of your box

[mazHur]

step out of your box
let us go on a long stroll
be with me , Faithful !

[Pendragon]

be with me faithful,
never faithless shall I be--
cross me at peril...

[FacialFracture]

"Cross me at peril!,"
the troll shouted from his bridge,
but the goats advanced.

[mazHur]

but the goats advanced
lay their heads at the altar
bleated and died

[AdoreroDio]

bleated and died
before they were even killed
death of hopeless hearts

[packersfan]

death of hopless hearts
is the worse death of them all
i will dream and hope

[kiz_paws]

I will dream and hope
that my teardrops turn to rain
and my thoughts to dust

[AdoreroDio]

and my thoughts to dust
blown aimlessly to and fro
never ceasing to fly

[jon1jt]

never ceasing to fly
I'm a dust-spun mass, soul paused.
I go if I will.

[kiz_paws]

I go if I will
shuddering from the snowdrifts
that softly dream by

[AdoreroDio]

that softly dream by
the ocean as its tides wave
goodbye to old days

[jon1jt]

goodbye to old days
sealed, in Eve's bosom. Go now-
have a blessed day.

[mazHur]

death of hopeless hearts
augurs new hope for the soul
deep down in love's vale

[TheFifthElement]

deep down in love's vale
the thrushes song captures the
perfection of dawn

[Reccura]

deep down in love's vale
I cut and bleed, all alone
voices sting my heart.
______________

Being "un-poetic"... Can't think of anything! :(

[mazHur]

perfection of dawn
Is cruel for lovers apart
gazing stars all night

[mazHur]

voices sting my heart
in the dead of ugly night
when you are away

[TheFifthElement]

when you are away
I dance into the night with
memories of you

[mazHur]

memories of you
are like Oxygen to me
Enter me, my dear.

[mazHur]

am sorry for erroneous manipulation of keyboard !!


memories of you

she is waiting for something
wonderful to start
