[qimissung]

smile, this is springtime
and your kisses sublime, my
dreamy valentine

[kiz_paws]

Dreamy valentine
my hand is comfortable
in the warmth of yours

[alakungfu]

in the warmth of yours
coddled creature that I am
I crave your niches

[ampoule]

I crave your niches
desire your nooks and crannies
I fill them with love

[firefangled]

I fill them with love,
sweet and golden as the sun,
tasty marmalade

[symphony]

tasty marmalade,
red leaves in the sill- early
october ochers

[kiz_paws]

October ochers
melt into whites of Winter
icing on the trees

[alakungfu]

icing on the trees
finished order of ripe frost
spent in clipped exchange

[ampoule]

spent in clipped exchange
weary of verbal abuse
talk to me, please, now

[mazHur]

spent in clipped exchange,
saw collateral damage,
Big Bang at short range!

[mazHur]

spent in clipped exchange
weary of verbal abuse
talk to me, please, now

hey, you caught speed !:)

talk to me, please, now
repeat the same old words,dear,
say that you love me!:)

[alakungfu]

say that you love me.
that you practically adore
the ground I walk on

[kiz_paws]

The ground I walk on
crackles gaily as I walk -
pieces of Autumn

[qimissung]

pieces of autumn
appear here and there on the
ferris wheel of life

[alakungfu]

ferris wheel of life
spinning off its worn axis
into rent ethos

[qimissung]

into rent ethos
I gaze upon the big bang's
gaudy aftermath

[ampoule]

gaudy aftermath
so much blown to smithereens
collect my pieces

[TheFifthElement]

collect my pieces
put them together again -
better than before.

[qimissung]

better than before:
I, slothlike student, wave my
triumphant knowledge

[firefangled]

triumphant knowledge,
the answers and the questions,
a tightly wound rope

[PhilLFM]

a tightly wound rope,
around my neck wrapping together
the pieces of my lost life

[qimissung]

pieces of my lost life
rubble on the station floor
footprints obscuring

[ampoule]

footprints obscuring
my lowly walk without you
your handprint still burns

[Babyguile]

your handprint still burns
But halt love inclinations
Self-serving. Forward

[qimissung]

Self serving, forward.
Am I describing me, you?
I don't know. Kiss me.

[ampoule]

I don't know. Kiss me.
Just do what comes natural.
Don't overthink this.

[andave_ya]

Don't overthink this
Just let yourself spill out--
You'll find that it works.

[mazHur]

You'll find that it works
don't judge it by off cycling
do it some oiling

[kiz_paws]

Do it some oiling
this rusty misspent lifetime
and ride the North winds

[andave_ya]

And ride in the North Winds
See the aurora shimmer
Around your body.

[mazHur]

Around your body
hovers an aura of love
marching towards me!

[Dark Muse]

Marching towrd me
wild mustangs race the wind
in a cloud of dust

[mazHur]

in a cloud of dust
a herd of cattle dashing
at poor Don Quixote

[ampoule]

at poor Don Quixote
the sword of punning pleasure
your smile in my face

[mazHur]

your smile in my face
indenture is but not mine
why is your tongue red?

[asilef73]

why is your tongue red
and your lips full with passion?
transformed by kisses.

[mazHur]

transformed by kisses
I turn into a little
poodle in your lap!

[kiz_paws]

Poodle in your lap
reminds of your gentleness
how you love your dogs

[mazHur]

how you love your dogs
sets an example for me
but don't twist my tail!

[qimissung]

but don't twist my tail
leave me spinning in the wind
hold me close, be kind

[kiz_paws]

Hold me close, be kind
let me feel your heart beating
sweet lover of mine

[mazHur]

sweet lover of mine
see what I have brought for you
a heart full of love.

[ampoule]

a heart full of love
a mind brimming with knowledge
a soul now waiting

[kiz_paws]

A soul now waiting
oh Muse please come to me now
I stare at blank sheets

[AMDG]

I stare at blank sheets.
You belong there; no more men.
Cry for life to come.

[kiz_paws]

Cry for life to come
sit alone in a glass house
its time to mingle

[AMDG]

Its time to mingle
reality with pleasure.
Here the feelings come.

[kiz_paws]

Here the feelings come
this sanctuary with you ...
... all I really need

[AMDG]

All I really need:
a cup of coffee and a book.
Paradise awaits.

[kiz_paws]

Paradise awaits
glittering forests in frost
I need to explore

[AMDG]

I need to explore
the world in which i breathe, and
find out the secrets.

[Dark Muse]

Find out the secrets
that are wispered in the breeze
among silent trees

[AMDG]

Among silent trees
the souls that live forever.
Their cries never cease.

[ampoule]

Their cries never cease
the ones we hurt or abuse
we remember them

[AMDG]

We remember them.
The lost, blind, and forsaken.
Help them find their way.

[mazHur]

Help them find their way.
I know desires have no eyes
they are deaf and dumb

[andave_ya]

They are deaf and dumb,
Those who do not love knowledge
Are students like me.

[AMDG]

Are students like me
suffering in a class
info over their heads

[ampoule]

info over their heads
like balloons that bounce away
when we try to touch

[AMDG]

when we try to touch
i am just a sensation
knowing i am love

[kiz_paws]

Knowing i am love
I keep my arrows hidden
just call me Cupid

[mazHur]

just call me Cupid
I aim straight at the hearts
with arrows of love!

[AMDG]

with arrows of love
i fight this only battle
i will die for you

[mazHur]

i will die for you
but hold on; let me first kiss
the love on your lips

[Dark Muse]

The love on your lips
is a chalice of sweet wine
where I'm always drunk

[AMDG]

where im always drunk
in the bars, looking for love
maybe not right place?

[mazHur]

where I'm always drunk
where I get often tippled
that is your love spot

[mazHur]

maybe not right place
may be not the right moment
yet we live to live

[andave_ya]

Yet we live to live
Please don't let me die today
I am unfinished.

[andave_ya]

The love on your lips
is a chalice of sweet wine
where I'm always drunk

:D I love this :D

[mazHur]

I am unfinished
I need some more time to leave
keep the lamp burning

[qimissung]

keep the lamp burning
may I always find you, sweet,
adorable one.

[kiz_paws]

Adorable one
head tucked beneath your wee wing
may life treat you good

[AMDG]

may life treat you good
and may you be abundant with friends
who will care for you

[mazHur]

who will care for you?
who will lead you out of dark?
you have life ahead

[Pendragon]

you have life ahead
live it to maximum joy
for death will come soon

[mazHur]

for death will come soon
will rid you of your worries
nothing to bother

[kiz_paws]

Nothing to bother
lazing on a sunny day
watching clouds float by

[Dark Muse]

Watching clouds float by
beneath the shade of a tree
on an Autumn day

[mazHur]

on an Autumn day
I try not to trample leaves
crumbled with death's fangs

[Dark Muse]

Crumbled with death's fangs
within a pool of crimson
pale night lover

*Because someone pointed out to me they found the last line to be missing a syllable, I thought I would add this note, saying that I preannounce the word pale as if it were a 2 syllable word. So sorry to those that see it differently.

[ampoule]

pale night lover
the moon illuminating
your eyes watching me

[kiz_paws]

Your eyes watching me
when you thought that I knew not
was that an arrow? :p

[Dark Muse]

Was that an arrow
which stuck deep into my heart
the day our eyes met

[mazHur]

the day our eyes met
love traveled down our hearts
two bodies one soul

[ampoule]

two bodies, one soul
oh, my mate, most certainly
within each other

[alakungfu]

within each other
move in stationary soul
measure for measure

[ampoule]

measure for measure
you are miles above them all
they stoop too often

[alakungfu]

they stoop too often
those toadstools in the cool woods
with curt strings attached

[Dark Muse]

with curt strings attached
the little doll is made to dance
for the masters flute

[Janine]

Nice one Dark Muse!...were you thinkng of 'Dolly, the Princess?'...hehe

for the masters flute
flaming skirts swirl with soft hues
color washed circles

[kiz_paws]

with curt strings attached
the little doll is made to dance
for the masters fluteVery nice indeed :nod:



color washed circles
melting rainbows everywhere
tiny sparrows fly

[Dark Muse]

Thank you Janine and Kiz


=Janine;641748]Nice one Dark Muse!...were you thinkng of 'Dolly, the Princess?'...hehe

Hehe no acutally I wasn't truly I do not see The Princess as being under anyones control. I think she is very much in control of herself.

tiny sparrows fly
aerial acrobatics
dance across the sky

*oops, I just realized this should be dance, not dancing

[alakungfu]

dancing across the
sky in unfettered sachets
of dandelion

[mona amon]

let me try-:p

of dandelion

sunshine days of green and gold

white fluff blows away

[mazHur]

white fluff blows away
red, blue and yellow flowers
kiss the face of spring

[alakungfu]

kiss the face of spring
like a benign signal that
starts the dew lyric

[downing]

starts the dew lyric
rain upon my merry head,
spring in garden comes.

Is this any good?

[alakungfu]

spring in garden comes
coaxing sprouts into blossoms
a medley is born

[ampoule]

I think it's just fine, Downing.


Spring in garden comes
Even with a hard, cold bed
Loves greening sprout grows

[ampoule]

spring in garden comes
coaxing sprouts into blossoms
a medley is born


Well shoot!

a medley is born
three look-alikes sound alike
grateful harmony

[alakungfu]

grateful harmony
pooling in poignant refrain
to a shameless beat

[Dark Muse]

to a shameless beat
gypsies dance around fire
born forever free

[alakungfu]

born forever free
as the dust that falls from sheaves
bound in packages

[ampoule]

bound in packages
gifts for you tied in ribbon
loose them, set them free

[alakungfu]

loose them, set them free
those dreams you've shared with only
your slandering fears

[Paige19]

your slandering fears,
your tears, your meandering lies, yet
what can save you? everything dies.

[alakungfu]

What can save you? Ev-
erything dies. When it repeats,
where goes the credit?

[Haven]

where goes the credit?
for the pink cherry blossom
this cool autumn night

[Paige19]

this cool autumn night,
palm trees rustle, we think of
wind-blown fallen leaves

[Dark Muse]

wind-blown fallen leaves
paint the ground in red and orange
last flare of sunlight

[Paige19]

last flare of sunlight -
across the street, a porch lamp's
gift of small comfort

[alakungfu]

gift of small comfort
wrapped in homespun and larkspur
arriving too late

[Paige19]

arriving too late,
I only saw the pale smoke
mourning the bright flame

[alakungfu]

mourning the bright flame,
proscribed to a weak state of
intoxication

[Paige19]

intoxication,
he said as he gathered her
dangerously close

[alakungfu]

dangerously close
but not piercingly reckless
the body of doom

[Paige19]

dangerously close
to something you have long sought -
no time to waver

[alakungfu]

no time to waver
no cover of darkness bides
the deed will hold fast

[Paige19]

the deed will hold fast
if the heart remains courageous -
our fears undo us

[kiz_paws]

Our fears undo us
hold fast to what makes us tick
to heck with the world

[alakungfu]

to heck with the world
after all, it doesn't give
a gripe about us

[firefangled]

a gripe about us -
we kiss in public places -
love excludes no one

[alakungfu]

love excludes no one
it displaces memory
and creates the world

[Paige19]

and creates the world
through this and this and this, and
thus is all made one

[alakungfu]

thus is all made one
the horizon, dawn's glimmer,
the skimming comet

[Paige19]

the skimming comet
blaze and trail of your fingers
on my skin's wide sky

[ampoule]

on my skin's wide sky
you trace clouds and stars and moons
and I float away

[firefangled]

and I float away
lost in the depth of your touch
like rain on a lake

[Dark Muse]

like rain on a lake
sweetly the soft music plays
somewhere far away

[TheFifthElement]

Somewhere far away
sunlight wakes the night sleepers
blinking out streetlights

[firefangled]

blinking out streetlights,
the night sleeps, morning covers,
drowsy crescent moon

[mazHur]

drowsy crescent moon
drowns in the dark womb of night
paving way for Eid.

[Dark Muse]

drowsy crescent moon
drowns in the dark womb of night
paving way for Eid.

Nice!

[mazHur]

Nice!

Thanks!:)

[Il Penseroso]

paving way for Eid,
Id exchanged for lack of will,
dream-bedraggled nest

[mazHur]

dream-bedgraggled nest
high up in the tree of life
grog running through veins

[kiz_paws]

Grog running through veins
just one serving more my dear
the night is bitter

[mazHur]

the night is bitter
rain, snow and slush choke my soul
I need warmth, my dear!

[Dark Muse]

I need warmth, my dear!
let us light up a fire
while we watch the stars

[mazHur]

while we watch the stars
let the moon bird kiss your lips
and rend heart of fire!

[kiz_paws]

And rend heart of fire
in houses made for snow dunes
beware the North wind

[TheFifthElement]

Beware the North wind
sweeping over Southern plains -
memories of ice.

[mazHur]

memories of ice
send a chill up the spine;
the statue trembles....

[Dark Muse]

the statue trembles
with a stirring breath of life
marble turned to flesh

[mazHur]

marble turned to flesh
flesh turned pink with hue of love
adorned with kisses

[Dark Muse]

Adorned with kisses
caressed within your strong arms
dancing through the night

[mazHur]

dancing through the night
day entered the discotheque
of the brightened sky

[firefangled]

of the brightened sky
we know that it hides its face
and it watches us

[mazHur]

and it watches us
and leads us to the way of
higher-ups in luck!

[dramasnot6]

Higher-ups in luck
Red velvet balcony seats
No opera spittle

[TheFifthElement]

No opera spittle
glistens on the soul-black stage -
echoes the last song

[firefangled]

echoes the last song
to which we danced, I hear it
picking rock from flesh

[TheFifthElement]

picking rock from flesh
fingers weeping, reaching out,
will someone help me?

[kiz_paws]

Will someone help me?
or will they pass by and laugh
seeing the buffoon

[dramasnot6]

Seeing the buffoon
Exposed by my reflection
Cretin in the mirror

[mazHur]

Cretin in the mirror
posed as the lord of the rings
infact was a dunce

[kiz_paws]

infact was a dunce
to think that I waste my time
in licking my wounds

[Silas Thorne]

in licking my wounds
I touched some thorns sticking there
tagged to memory

[Dark Muse]

Tagged to memory
chained forever to myself
is there no escape

[kiz_paws]

Is there no escape
one look from him and I melt
does he have clay feet?

[Delta40]

does he have clay feet?
when he moves as if heavy
from lifetimes' own weight

[kiz_paws]

From lifetimes' own weight
we can breeze through the big bumps
laughing all the way

[Delta40]

laughing all the way
his story felt tickled touch
and filled tummies bare

[kiz_paws]

And filled tummies bare
just a pittance was needed
to break the pattern

[Delta40]

to break the pattern
of continuous haiku
she struggled and lost!

[alakungfu]

she struggled and lost
abandoned by her instincts
to the stark unknown

[Silas Thorne]

to the stark unknown
a lone white rabbit bounded
lost against white snow

[Dark Muse]

Lost against white snow
a hidden beauty awaits
to be kissed by spring

[Silas Thorne]

to be kissed by spring
flowers face into the sun
fine dew-drops sparkle

[Dark Muse]

Fine dew-drops sparkle
danicing upon spider webs
winking at the sun

[Riesa]

winking at the sun
I blink there and blind again;
oh, for sunglasses!

[ampoule]

oh, for sunglasses!
help me with this awful squint
let me see, full on

[Veva]

Let me see, full on
For I dread to know its aim,
Empty, but bare truth

[blp]

Empty, but bare truth
Is just the truth of empty
bareness; a vessel.

[TheFifthElement]

bareness; a vessel
leaking, like your many holes:
open, quivering

[Veva]

open quivering,
not more than a memory,
from which we revive

[symphony]

from which we revive
old times and survive the next--
never late to live.

[alakungfu]

never late to live,
drifts to feign and to seclude,
leery of redress

[Silas Thorne]

leery of redress!
The cows stare unblinkingly,
not sure where to look.

:)

[qimissung]

not sure where to look,
I shred the paper surely,
as you shred my heart

[Silas Thorne]

as you shred my heart
they wait among the tombstones
demanding an end.

[alakungfu]

demanding an end
to the chaos and trouble
brewing in the world

[TheFifthElement]

brewing in the world
a storm in a teacup; false
sugardrop safety

[mazHur]

sugardrop safety
sounds the knell of death for all
it's all our fault

[alakungfu]

it's all our fault
but we don't have to accept
the ultimate blame

[TheFifthElement]

the ultimate blame
unopened letter - your name
in block capitals.

[Silas Thorne]

In block capitals
SUNSHINE! seared my sore eyeballs.
My room is too dark.

[Dark Muse]

My room is too dark
it will let the voices in
there is no escape

[mazHur]

there is no escape
from the circling of my arms
be my nucleus!

[adwara1]

Be my nucleus
Haul my heart,mind and soul
Let me end in you

[Dark Muse]

Let me end in you
for with you my life began
there is only us

[Silas Thorne]

let me end in you.
After drinking my last drink
sight passes away

[Silas Thorne]

sorry you bet me to that one. Next person, start from where you will.

[mazHur]

there is only us
you are me and me is you
Long live our love!

[adwara1]

Long live our love
as a paradigm for hearts
who love love the most

[kiz_paws]

Who love love the most
and yet as the faded moon
star dust can blind you

[djy78usa]

Star dust can blind you,
but don't let that stop you from
reaching for the sky

[Silas Thorne]

reaching for the sky
I dislocated my arm
oh god, it hurts, aaah!
:)

[djy78usa]

reaching for the sky
I dislocated my arm
oh god, it hurts, aaah!
:)

:lol: Well played, sir! :lol:

Oh God, it hurts, aaah!
A strong burning sensation,
perhaps I'm ablaze

[Silas Thorne]

Thanks! :)

perhaps I'm ablaze
with love for her crimson lips
she makes me suffer

[adwara1]

She makes me suffer
memories rain yielding pain
will union ever befall again

[Silas Thorne]

sorry, but try again. That last line is much longer than five syllables, so it's hard for anyone to continue from it. 5 syllables in line 1, 7 in line 2, and 5 in line 3. You can do it. :)

[adwara1]

sorry, but try again. That last line is much longer than five syllables, so it's hard for anyone to continue from it. 5 syllables in line 1, 7 in line 2, and 5 in line 3. You can do it. :)

Sorry my bad, ignore my post anyone can start from

'She makes me suffer'

[Silas Thorne]

No, that's alright. It just takes practice. I'm sure you can do it, but if you don't want to try now, try again later. It gets easier. :)

[alakungfu]

She makes me suffer
Her mad love suffocates me
my pressed wings failing

[firefangled]

my pressed wings failing
the air turning damp with tears
gray sky upsidedown

[alakungfu]

grey sky upsidedown
rainbow love shining throughout
unfathomed houses

[jon1jt]

unfathomed houses
droning toward the love of others
blue sky down sideup

[kiz_paws]

blue sky down sideup
weeping with marshmallow tears
coddles my fancy

[alakungfu]

coddles my fancy
expands my sheer horizons
far beyond the truth

[firefangled]

far beyond the truth
lies the memory of lies
beyond that is love

[kiz_paws]

beyond that is love
and down the porcelain face
slides a tiny tear

[alakungfu]

slides a tiny tear
obstinately thwarting more
from following fast

[kiz_paws]

From following fast
the bones cried for calories
and so the girl shrunk

[alakungfu]

and so the girl shrunk
outwardly and in her skin
when her words came true

[LostPrincess13]

when her words came true
ahhhh! a piercing cry was heard
she drops to the ground

[alakungfu]

she drops to the ground
their ardent embrace broken
by the thrust of tears

[mazHur]

by the thrust of tears
the toughest stones will melt down
and your's just a heart!

[alakungfu]

and your's just a heart
a randomly shaped gemstone
that happened to lodge

[Monikeroftheyea]

that happened to lodge
beneath the darkest of sky
where no man would be

[mazHur]

where no man would be
a slave of his own desires
be it heaven, hell!

[alakungfu]

be it heaven, hell
where my dreams have spilled over
determinations

[Monikeroftheyea]

determinations
of much lesser men have been
the death of the girl

[mazHur]

the death of the girl
his darling Annabel Lee
made Poe what he was!

[Silas Thorne]

the death of the girl
her parents killed another
oh when will it stop?

[Silas Thorne]

oops, choose one to start

[alakungfu]

made Poe what he was
a nightly verse incarnate
of still origin

oh when will it stop
this atomic fantasy,
bleed out our missteps

[kiz_paws]

Bleed out our missteps
on the white canvas called Life
careful where you tread

[alakungfu]

careful where you tread
unless you want the scent of
pine needles drifting

[atiguhya padma]

Pine needles drifting
Upon endless waves of sea
Like words in mood swings

[Il Penseroso]

like words in mood swings
hefted by chemical swirls,
boat broadened to sky

[Dark Muse]

Boat broadened to sky
the horizon dissapears
lost within the blue

[Il Penseroso]

lost within the blue
of iron eggs, a cold coat
and fetid yolk stones

[jon1jt]

and fetid yolk stones.
I give the ocean her tide,
taking from fetid.

[Silas Thorne]

taking from fetid
I walk off wildly into
your blazing sunset

[Dark Muse]

Your blazing sunset
burns through me lighting the sky
painting me inside

[Silas Thorne]

painting me inside
and me outside too bright red
A lobster, I am.

[alakungfu]

a lobster I am
a book jacket out of sorts
I decorate saws

[mazHur]

I decorate saws
I try my hands at all steels
I make them smile too

[alakungfu]

I make them smile too
Sometimes with an easy lilt
Others, with a jilt

[adwara1]

Others, with a jilt
shove my heart, from abyss of sorrow
I hear it cry

[littlewing53]

i hear it cry
whispering tale soon lost
found near the sun set

[kiz_paws]

Found near the sun set
a sign all tattered and worn
Kisses: One dollar

[TheFifthElement]

Kisses: one dollar,
a handful of of loose change. Dimes
reflecting sunlight.

[Silas Thorne]

reflecting sunlight
the ripples on the water
when will it be still?

[Il Penseroso]

when will it be still?
oceans sheeted to glazed glass,
the blower content

[ampoule]

the blower content
resonates within her pipes
airy notes that rise

[Silas Thorne]

airy notes that rise
bring back dragons on the wind
returning fortune

[kiz_paws]

returning fortune
made the fat cats lick their chops
a fantasy world
