Add a string to it to make
A bow and arrow

Wild.........Thunder resounds!
...lightening streaks....BRIGHT Flashes!
Illuminating.

Illuminating...
eyes that speak, souls that receive
and words that bare all

[Sapphire]

and words that bar all
flying in the wind - twirling
whispered in the night

[mazHur]

whispered in the night
forgotten during the day
speech curbed by silence.

a lull spread all over
Do you call this life?

[BienvenuJDC]

Do you call this life?
On the dark side of the moon...
Not ever seen by one.

[mazHur]

Not ever seen by one
yet known to most of the folks

history's true map

[mazHur]

history's true map
has been defaced by humans
to suit their own ends

[Janine]

to suit their own ends
countries have waged pointless wars
countless white cross'

[Lynne50]

to suit their own ends
warring nations take up arms
does might make it right?

[mazHur]

does might make it right?
Well, some entities think so

all humans is red.

All humans is red
colours melding into shapes
sign of things to come

and for what purpose will this be?
satisfies nothing

[mazHur]

demons lurk within
sulfur and the brim of night
eyes from without

[kiz_paws]

eyes from without
cloak of darkness disguises
paper faces meld

paper faces meld
cut-outs made whole, pulp again
lives lost in oneness

love's our weapon
wee soldiers of poetry
fraught with jealousy

[Janine]

lovely haiku!
Sometimes romance is better than science!
Oh, thanks mazHur, you provided a great first line. Yes, but science can be romantic/artistic as well....microcosms and decorative patterns under microscopes...some very beautiful....



fraught with jealousy
the letter revealed at last
shock burns hearts like fire

[qimissung]

shock burns hearts like fire
leaving a pillar of heat
trembling and alone

[Janine]

trembling and alone
The Phantom in his chamber
mem'ries of her voice

[mazHur]

mem'ries of her voice
make the Phantom rock n roll
he stoops to conquer!

[Janine]

hahah....good one! Phantom rock n roll...hhaha.....

he stoops to conquer
his power questionable
what outcome will be?

[mazHur]

what outcome will be?
For that you will have to wait
and see beyond clouds!

[Janine]

and see beyond clouds
last bright rays, sparkling waters
sand between my toes

[krymsonkyng]

sand between my toes
cool glass betwixt my fingers
I've reached my center.

[ReflectionOfSky]

I've reached my center
butbut the A.C. isn't working
it is too hot here

[Janine]

I've reached my center
balanced on the web threads of time
central and focused

[Janine]

it is too hot here
set that thought asside and stay
central and focused

[prendrelemick]

Central and focused
Keep chantering your mantra
Ommm ommm ommm o my!

[krymsonkyng]

Ommm ommm ommm o my!
eyes waver as thighs connect
hold tight lest you drift

[mazHur]

central and focused
yet thoughts are gravely fluid
change their shape with flow

[breathtest]

Hold tight lest you drift
and drown under great tides of
black waves that pulsate

[mazHur]

hold tight lest you drift
into the territory
of the crocodiles!

[mazHur]

black waves that pulsate
and suppress your heartbeat down
into darn abyss

[Janine]

of the crocodiles!
survival and resilence
key to existence

into darn abyss
the chamber soon was lowered
Phantom disappeared

[mazHur]

key to existence
lies but in your soft ripe breast
every baby knows!

[Janine]

Now to combine them....

key to existence
hold our breath in sheer suspense
Phantom disappeared

[mazHur]

Phantom disappeared
in the dark little black hole
to black hole's surprise!

[Janine]

mothers milk is healthiest
close contact, the bond

[Janine]

hahaha....mazHur...you are too fast for me....now you have to combine the two lines....or write two....

[mazHur]

Now to combine them....

key to existence
hold our breath in sheer suspense
Phantom disappeared

is this another way of 'romanticizing'?

:)

[mazHur]

every baby knows
in the dark little black hole
Phantom disappeared

[Lynne50]

close contact, the bond
of people telling stories
Oh, so much to learn!

[Janine]

is this another way of 'romanticizing'?

:)

close contact, the bond
fog envelopes, secrets spaces
to black hole's surprise

[mazHur]

Oh, so much to learn

learn to write haiku!

[mazHur]

Oh, so much to learn!
It's cruel for tender age
to burden its mind.

[Janine]

Well, just guess it out! I thought you are a 'physiognomist', arn't you??:)

look outside the box!

filled with affection
my thoughts fly out to your world
left behind alone

[ShardsOfOcean]

look outside the box!
people say, but can you look......
out of the circle????

[Haunted]

out of the circle...
life, rudely interrupted
love, cruelly cut short

[Janine]

love, cruelly cut short
jealousy invades the my world
eyes burn me with hate

[BienvenuJDC]

Eyes burn me with hate
But understanding wins out
And love conquers all

[Janine]

and love conquers all
In the end, hold fast, receive
love will reward you

Love will reward you
raindrop kisses on the neck

I expected nothing less
You were right on time.

You were right on time
our hearts never miss a beat
takes two to tango

[billl]

takes two to tango
the band is a distraction
we're music enough

[breathtest]

We're music enough
in this house alone and dead
but not yet rotting

[qimissung]

but not yet rotting
still the stench of lost desire
is past forgetting

[billl]

is past forgetting
necessary for rebirth
or hiding from crimes

[mazHur]

or hiding from crimes
will not save you from the long
creeping hands of law

[krymsonkyng]

creeping hands of law
steel fingers serve and protect
don't fear the tin man.

[mazHur]

don't fear the tin man
he is like a barking dog
who'd seldom bite!

[prendrelemick]

Who'd seldom bite
like the one that got away
fishing compliments.

[mazHur]

fishing compliments
suffice not for a hungry
man when he needs fish!

[Janine]

man when he needs fish
too often opens a can
fresh for me please!

[mazHur]

fresh for me please
the canned fish is too briny
I have a sweet tooth.

[krymsonkyng]

I have a sweet tooth
sugar lips, peppermint eyes
drink's on me sweetheart.

[miyako73]

drink's on me sweetheart
parasoled sex on the beach
just kiss me later

[billl]

just kiss me later
now there's no one watching us
much more can happen

[krymsonkyng]

much more can happen
when the opportunity
is at its most ripe

[billl]

Is at its most ripe
the best time for plucking it
while in Nantucket?

[miyako73]

While in Nantucket?
I saw the water not blue.
It was azure green.

[Haunted]

It was azure green.
Now misty red. And Swelling.
Eyes are so telling.

[krymsonkyng]

eyes are so telling
speak their universal tongue
see the world anew

[mazHur]

see the world anew
for all the old things it has
for all that is gone

[Haunted]

for all that is gone
all the forever goodbyes
there is no closure

[Janine]

there is no closure
when you can't accept 'goodbye'
holding fast to ghosts

[Lynne50]

holding fast to ghosts
you tremble in the darkness
waiting for the day

[mazHur]

waiting for the day
I end up all night dreaming
'bout your sunshine face

[miyako73]

'bout your sunshine face
the morning grin disappears
the dawn is in gloom

[Janine]

the dawn is in gloom
shadows cross the garden path
dreaming daisies droop

[mazHur]

sunrise to sunset
I keep traveling to find
me back at square one!

[mazHur]

dreaming daisies droop
---------------------------------------beautiful alliteration!
calling for the light of love
love to make them smile!

struggling through this massive web
corridors of thought

Thanks for the compliment, maz *smile*

[Haunted]

[QUOTE=mazHur;729437]reaally? but you don't seem to be so!!;)

[mazHur]

[QUOTE=mazHur;729437]reaally? but you don't seem to be so!!;)

Keep believing what you will
am not what you see !:)

[mazHur]

corridors of thought
seal them up with bitumen
white wash them with lime!

[Janine]

white wash them with lime?
sterile dwellings, doubtful worth
corrosion in due time

[mazHur]

corrosion in due time
reminds you of aging youth
make best of moment.

[qimissung]

make best of moment
gulp it like cold lemonade
go for longest belch

[mazHur]

go for longest belch
crushing down all the romance
built over whole night!

[krymsonkyng]

built over whole night!
the barricade held too fast
there was no escape.

[mazHur]

there was no escape
yet all the prisoners escaped
like thoughts trapped in mind

[Janine]

like thoughts trapped in mind
precariously balanced
overwhelm reason

[mazHur]

overwhelm reason
forget the blessing of love
thinking kills feelings

[Janine]

thinking kills feelings
'sex in the mind', distraction
looses all desire

[miyako73]

thinking kills feelings
like overdosing death pills
expired and exposed

[mazHur]

looses all desire
sex seems a trifling matter
distance makes things worse

[miyako73]

sunrise to sunset
I keep traveling to find
me back at square one!

I deleted the parent haiku of the above which is:

see the world anew
behind squinting eyelids
sunrise to sunset

sorry for interruption

[mazHur]

expired and exposed
the chocolate pack melted down
like snow beneath sun!

[mazHur]

I deleted the parent haiku of the above which is:

see the world anew
behind squinting eyelids
sunrise to sunset

sorry for interruption

was there any need to do that??:)

[miyako73]

they might wonder where you got sunrise to sunset.

[Haunted]

they might wonder where you got sunrise to sunset.

So that's why...It never dawned on me. Pardon the pun :p

[Janine]

like snow beneath sun!
icy shadow in winter,
melting dewy rose

[mazHur]

melting dewy rose
with pink nectar oozing out
in fluid ecstasy

[Janine]

ou la la....

in fluid ecstasy
the dancer feels emotion
swept on passions wave

[BienvenuJDC]

swept on passions wave
the sultry night took over
the heated moment

[Janine]

that's a good one, Bien....

the heated moment
life gives over willingly
passions open gate

[krymsonkyng]

passions open gate
a halo about the sun
hand in hand westward.

[RobinHood3000]

Hand in hand westward
Monkey King's party travels
Mountaintop crossing

Mountaintop crossing
boots wet with dew drops falling
clouds rubbing noses!

[Janine]

clouds rubbing noses
rays of light peek through
day begins anew

[mazHur]

day begins anew
but nothing seems to have changed
you are you, me me!

[krymsonkyng]

you are you, me me!
so play the role you've chosen
we've set the stage. Act!

[Janine]

we've set the stage. Act!
hide now behind disquises
soon the curtain parts

[krymsonkyng]

soon the curtain parts
Lights! The crowd draws into view,
and the knees quiver...

[Janine]

and the knees quiver...
now like the archers bow, tense
hearts frozen in time

[krymsonkyng]

hearts frozen in time
hands locked in space, her hair drifts
distance disappears.

[mazHur]

hearts frozen in time
needs rhythm of love to be thawed
please narrow the gap!

[mazHur]

distance disappears
whenever I think of you
and look at my heart

[Janine]

and look at my heart
you will see the spark within
eyes ignite the flame

[krymsonkyng]

eyes ignite the flame
stadium of focused stares
thousands' single mind

[Janine]

thousands' single mind
fill the space between us
we float on in peace

[krymsonkyng]

we float on in peace
still waters, spiraling blooms
on a field of glass

[Janine]

on a field of glass
frozen wheat, sparkling sunrays
icey winter day

[krymsonkyng]

icy winter day
sky bleeds blue and silver streams
frost bound earth drinks deep.

[RobinHood3000]

Ooh, I like it.

Frost bound earth drinks deep
Earthbound frost softens to dew

silver slipping away your
face all that remains

Be a blooming rose,
Float your aromas high, far
Make others smile

make others smile
with your joie de vie and wit
your charm encircles

[mazHur]

your charm encircles
soul like an anaconda
and gulps my heart whole!

[qimissung]

gulps my heart whole
I fear to be encompassed
longing though for warmth

Hi, mazHur! :)

[Dark Muse]

Longing though for warmth
my heart embraces the cold
dark within my void

[mazHur]

Hi Qim
Hi Muse!


dark within my void
there is a little dot that shines
People call it heart!

finally the muse arrives --
and *now* I can write!

[mazHur]

and *now* I can write
and leave the two friends alone
to share their musings.

[Janine]

to share their musings
goes without saying, but now
we part presently

[BienvenuJDC]

we part presently
but we will unite again
someday, somewhere, soon

[mazHur]

we part presently
but no, my dear, moon's still there
stars also twinkling!

you simply don't realize
how a lover feels.

[Janine]

how a lover feels
when rejected, left alone
sun elipsed, cancelled

[mazHur]

sun elipsed, cancelled
confined to my dark conclave
I smile at my fate!

[Janine]

fate brings us closer

[mazHur]

fate brings us closer
so close that all distance ends
all veils get lifted

[mazHur]

fate brings us closer

Janine, where are you??:)
This is a shared haiku not the three person one!!:lol:

[Janine]

maz, sorry about that; I just realised I messed up this time; we are in Shared...so I will finish this one...

fate brings us closer
so close that all distance ends
share we the same moon


Back to our romantic mood.....I see.....

[mazHur]

share we the same moon
breathe we in the same skies
yet we are apart!

[Janine]

yet we are appart
we two suffer endlessly
spirits gravely robbed

[mazHur]

spirits gravely robbed
two bodies stripped off their souls
two hearts driven out

[Janine]

Nice one....maz

two hearts driven out
barred from sensuality
reason is 'reason'

[mazHur]

Nice one....maz

two hearts driven out
realm of sensuality
reason is 'reason'

thanks:)


reason is 'reason'
but all reasons and logic
fail when hit by fate.
