a bottomless pit
a free fall in the faceless
black holes in the space.

[mazHur]

on top of mountains
covered with white sapphire snow
fairies dance with love

[toni]

fairies dance with love
and whistle a happy tune
over fields and time

[DanielBenoit]

over fields and time
thoughts converge and become one
blissful knowingness

[toni]

blissful knowingness
patterns dim the horizon
I stare at the ledge

I stare at the ledge
And the ledge stares back at me
An abyss of thought

crashes slowly by the shore
September thirteen

sunlight reflecting on ponds
a golden locket

opens and spreads out in all
directions, endless

swimming in a deep whirlpool
bursting at the seams

burting at the seams
singing ocean and mermaid
surrounding salty seas

surrounding salty seas
sun-slicked shores' sea-shell whispers
songs mysterious

[Dark Muse]

Songs mysterious
whispered from a distant past
among fallen graves

[toni]

among fallen graves
fantasies swimming
goddess forgotten

[DanielBenoit]

goddess forgotten
alone on Mount Olympus
carved a man from stone

[toni]

carved a man from stone
like molding a dream from clay-
I cast a lovespell

[DanielBenoit]

I cast a lovespell
And dreamed that she would awake
But she was just clay

[toni]

But she was just clay
made with love, ashen palms from
velvet underground

[DanielBenoit]

velvet underground
from which she would arise to
meet me in my dreams

[toni]

meet in my dreams
cross parallel horizons
towards the owl light

[DanielBenoit]

towards the owl light
wondering, if this songbird
will sing forever

[toni]

will sing forever
cherry blossoms at her feet -
she started to dance

[DanielBenoit]

she started to dance
like nature's truest daughter
whose voice is sun's mirth

[toni]

whose voice is sun's mirth,
calming the earth's ocean tides
and dark, troubled winds

[DanielBenoit]

and dark, troubled winds
whose gusts knock the boat off course
soon to find its way

[toni]

soon to find its way
crawling over clouds and time
capturing sunlight

[DanielBenoit]

capturing sunlight
storing it within my heart
a luminous safe

[mazHur]

a luminous safe
borrowing light from the sun
moon-faced moon-hearted

[DanielBenoit]

moon-faced moon-hearted
currents, they dance to the moon
fiery-hearted sand

[toni]

fiery-hearted sand
swept away the pharaoh's tombs;
vanished, without pulse

[DanielBenoit]

vanished without pulse
the forgotten past became
a luminous dream

[toni]

a luminous dream
a stroll along silver gates
on monochrome paths

[DanielBenoit]

on monochrome paths
color annihlatting
stings of apathy

:)

[krymsonkyng]

stings of apathy
in a vacuum love will fail
use rich soil instead

[toni]

use rich soil instead
on a pot, on my garden
beyond the steel gate

[DanielBenoit]

Beyond the steel gate
Peering through the rough steel bars
I sit and wonder

[toni]

I sit and wonder,
staring at champagne bottle
chaos in a glass

[DanielBenoit]

Chaos in a glass
Bubbling liquid fires
To blow the cap off

[toni]

To blow the cap off
celebrating this one night
on top of the roof

[DanielBenoit]

On top of the roof
In the middle of winter
The neighbors complain

[toni]

The neighbors complain
that dog howling on midnight
calling the werewolf

[Veva]

calling the werewolf,
to slay the dreary rutine
affections of dream

[krymsonkyng]

affections of dream
condensate in morning dew
but fancies linger

[Haunted]

but fancies linger
in a whiff of perfume left
on a creased white shirt

[Dark Muse]

On a creased white shirt
the dust begins to gather
for all that remains

[krymsonkyng]

for all that remains
We hold rage We bide time and
threaten tomorrow

[Dark Muse]

Threaten tomorrow
with dark, heavy womb-like clouds
ready to burst free

[Haunted]

ready to burst free
behind the rusted floodgate
cubic tons of tears

[DanielBenoit]

cubic tons of tears
cries out from my decisive
poems; a kleenex

[Haunted]

poems; a kleenex;
a pen; a paper shredder;
a lost persona

[Dark Muse]

A lost persona
becoming invisible
and fading away

[toni]

and fading away
like white horses galloping
to the unconcious

[DanielBenoit]

to the unconscious
my thoughts diverge and swell up
to that, child's thought

[toni]

to that, child's thought
rosy bloom of innocence-
angels in disguise

[DanielBenoit]

angels in disguise
the whole world, incognito
they appear as theives

[toni]

they appear as thieves
veiled, sneaking into the night
bottling your nightmares

[DanielBenoit]

bottling your nightmares
and tossing the liquids out
into the green bay

[toni]

into the green bay
where I drown my bleak thoughts; and
defy gravity

[DanielBenoit]

^:thumbs_up

defy gravity
the gods dance like wild fire
the most distant star

[toni]

the most distant star
you name all constellations
with a broken pen

[DanielBenoit]

With a broken pen
I tell time and add the years
To the void's retreat

[mazHur]

To the void's retreat
walk slowly and carefully
lest black holes gulp you.

[zanna]

lest black holes gulp you,
just one last kiss, please, sweetheart,
her lover cajoles.

[ReflectionOfSky]

her lover caholes
and she recklessly accepts
wrong move, game over

[zanna]

wrong move, game over
stratego is quickly learned,
but mastered slowly.

[mazHur]

but mastered slowly
it's not master's fault but yours
why you learnt slowly?

[DanielBenoit]

'Why you learnt slowly?'
'I cannot tell why' he said
'Thus my knowledge, gone'

[toni]

'Thus my knowledge, gone'
tis swept by strong ,passing winds
a wrinkle in time

[DanielBenoit]

a wrinkle in time
the fabrics of thought and space
ripples in the sun

[toni]

:thumbs_up

ripples in the sun
wisps of scorching summer days
we ran through wheat fields

Golden saturated dream
The calm wind remains

sitting on hills at sunset
it's Alice in chains

[DanielBenoit]

"we seemed to have broken down
along the brick road"

[toni]

Along the brick road
we whisper our dreams in stone
and mulberry trees

[DanielBenoit]

And mulberry trees
From whence we pick stones and dust
And find the ripest

[toni]

among all beautiful dregs
you crouch underneath

To find the most beautiful
and secret garden

Your love rekindles
before the fireside warmth
memories rise as smoke

i raise my hands to catch them
they get lost in dreams

wandering dark mazes
trapt in illusion

trying to catch his own tail
he moved in circles.

He moved in circles
one step; a cry and a fall
hallucinations

Stars like the goblins.
laughing at thier little games
upon midnight hour

upon midnight hour
the fair maiden in silk gown
stretches time and space

stretches time and space
clocks are replaced in cosmos
another Big Bang!

[toni]

another Big Bang!
History repeats itself
like broken records

[Dark Muse]

Like broken records
keep playing the same old songs
never quite in tune

[mazHur]

never quite in tune
the world wasn't created
just for love alone.

[DanielBenoit]

just for love alone
i live, in a loveless world
an exploding rose

[Dark Muse]

An exploding rose
raining petals crimson red
upon our thorn bed

[mazHur]

upon our thorn bed
lies a demon of desire
which keeps us disturbed.

[DanielBenoit]

which kept us disturbed,
i thought, will not this demon
go away and leave?

[mazHur]

go away and leave
let me sip my morn cuppa
alone and with peace.

[DanielBenoit]

alone and with peace
I sit, in eternal bliss
deafening silence

[toni]

deafening silence,
another reality-
a teaspoon of lies

[DanielBenoit]

a teaspoon of lies
lies within my coffeecup
why are you staring?

[toni]

why are you staring?
The leaves of fall mirrored souls
in a different light

[Dark Muse]

In a different light
I see the shades of your face
changing like the sea

[toni]

changing like the sea
nymphs dance on crystal waters
they blow a deathkiss

[symphony]

they blow a deathkiss
these sighs in a loner's night,
the lights are long past

[mazHur]

the lights are long past
stars have also gone for sleep
this wait is killing.

[symphony]

this wait is killing,
for it has no address, here
i can only wait

[toni]

i can only wait
for the glow of silver moons
over the damp streets

[DanielBenoit]

over the damp streets
my steady soul climbs into
clouds, where home is found

[mazHur]

over the damp streets
lurks the shadow of my heart
wallowing for you.

[mazHur]

clouds, where home is found
floating with the westerly
wind in search of love.

[Annabelle]

Wind in search of love
Breathing heavily above
Sending, hey storm, cough!

[toni]

Sending, hey storm, cough!
Release your chronic diseases
with the passing winds

[DanielBenoit]

With the passing winds
I hum the soft tune of time
In ages past born

[toni]

In ages past born
a crisp, swift turn of the page-
series of flashbacks

[DanielBenoit]

Series of flashbacks
The cracking of an egg, Proust
Haunts my memory

[toni]

Haunts my memory
as starlights dim one by one
a dream in charcoal

[DanielBenoit]

A dream in charcoal
To burn up in the cruel flames
White snow on fire

[toni]

White snow on fire
its warmth cutting the pale cheek-
a parallel maze

[DanielBenoit]

A parralell maze
In the underground labyrinth
Dirt tickles my hairs

[toni]

Dirt tickles my hairs
trickling slow, upon the soil
midnight shadow baths

[DanielBenoit]

Midnight shadow baths
Thespains bathe in veils and
Underneath costumes

[toni]

Underneath costumes,
there lay, checkered characters-
before curtain call

[Dark Muse]

Before curtain call
on this last hour of life
death waits in the wings

[DanielBenoit]

(^nice sig by the way toni :D)

Before curtain call
I tremble, butterflies come
Out of mouth, on-stage


Death waits in the wings
It plots how it will take me
The rabid wolf stares

[toni]

(Thank you. ;) )

The rabid wolf stares
ready to pounce and strike at-
wide-eyed traveler

[DanielBenoit]

Wide-eyed traveler
Looking upon the beauties
Of nature's making

[toni]

Of nature's making
the sly creeping of the roots
to vast horizons

[DanielBenoit]

To vast horizens
I fly, in through the sun and
Out past galaxies

:D

[mazHur]

Out past galaxies
there is another world where
angels fear to tread.

[toni]

:eek:

Out past galaxies,
I wander, as I pen the
black manifesto

(edit)

Angels fear to tread
upon the stone, streets of sin,
woods are black and white

[DanielBenoit]

Black manifesto
Of my aching heart, pumping
Ink and blood; a poem

[Annabelle]

Ink and blood; poem
From the backdrop of poet
Harmonic duet

[Indy]

Harmonic duet;
Bass walking so debonair,
Flute blithe, free as air.

[balehead]

Flute blithe, free as air
Totally without a care
Fell into despair

(apoligies for the rhyming ... totally unintentional)

[ntropyincarnate]

Fell into despair
While outside were strange beings,
The ones called humans.

[Dark Muse]

The ones called humans
wading in their putrid filth
a disease on earth

[ntropyincarnate]

A disease on earth,
And men came forth from their holes
Stricken with longing.

[Dark Muse]

Stricken with longing
those dark eyes watch in silence
with unspoken pleas

[ntropyincarnate]

With unspoken pleas
The stars beckon, tiny holes
To a better world.

[balehead]

To a better world
where sadness hangs not for long
in the pure moonlight

[Dark Muse]

In the pure moonlight
dancing before the fire
with souls of the dead

[ntropyincarnate]

With souls of the dead
Dark holes looming in our eyes
Don't let them escape.

[Zeniyama]

Don't let them escape
Look at what they did to us;
Those brats broke our vase.

[Il Penseroso]

those brats broke our vase,
shattered pigment etched in curves,
the stillness of years

[ntropyincarnate]

The stillness of years,
The silence that screams, locked up
Heart too long buried.

[Haunted]

The stillness of years,
The silence that screams, locked up
Heart too long buried.

ntropyincarnate, love it! ;)

heart too long buried
suddenly, beating out of
control...who are you

[TheFifthElement]

control...who are you
talking to, me, you, him, her -
shut your mouth, let's go.

[Haunted]

shut your mouth, let's go
where eyes do all the talking
it's too late for words

[balehead]

It's too late for words
Now that the heavens explode
show'ring us with tears

[ntropyincarnate]

Show'ring us with tears
They drowned the meaning, left it
Buried under words.

[Haunted]

buried under words
disguised in euphemisms
the nightmare lives on

[Sapphire]

The nightmare lives on
It is darkest in the night
Happy fantasies

[qimissung]

Happy fantasies
dancing on little cat feet
rondelay in dreams

[Sapphire]

Rondelay in dreams
When reality is not
Optional at least

[Annabelle]

Optional at least
Opportunity of men
Suffer or die now

[Haunted]

last sting of the scorpio
love can be murder

[parallax]

Love can be murder
Or slow suicide endured
To find life by death

[Dark Muse]

To find life by death
swigning from the hangman's noose
a moment too late

[parallax]

A moment too late
Rivers carved by memories
Through our veins they run

[samercury]

Through our veins they run
Forgotten but still living,
I believed in you

[Annabelle]

I believeved in you
Those treacherous times, my dear
Literature- get up!

[Sapphire]

Literature - up!
Lead the way to dreamland here
Reality - now!

[mazHur]

Reality - now!
Through the Hubble of your eyes
watch reality!

[Haunted]

dissolves into surreal
romancing the ghosts

[atiguhya padma]

Romancing the ghosts
Of many lost haunted dreams
Caught in limbo's dance

[Sapphire]

Caught in limbo's dance
Frozen in a moment time
Minutes as lifetimes

[Haunted]

minutes as lifetimes
if life is a clock I'd like
your hands on my face

[Annabelle]

Your hands on my face
As caring leaves on cold ice
Look into my eyes

[Shurtugal]

look into my eye
behold all the dark and gloom
but i am not alone

[Sapphire]

But I am not 'lone
I have a world to live in
six trillion people

[Dark Muse]

Six trillion people
is absolutely nothing
compared to the stars

[Sapphire]

Compared to the stars
it does not suffice at all
Our counting system

[atiguhya padma]

Our counting system
Fixes experience like
Linear machines

[TheFifthElement]

Linear machines
with biological needs -
consuming the Earth.

[atiguhya padma]

Consuming the Earth
We rage against time until
The Earth consumes us

[Dark Muse]

The Earth consumes us
cradled deep within her womb
as Sun chases Moon

[Sapphire]

as Sun chases Moon
Does not know how to quit her
and Moon keeps moving

[atiguhya padma]

And moon keeps moving
Magnetic waves that weave spells
Upon the water.

[Dark Muse]

Upon the water
dreams cast aside drift away
caught among the stars

[atiguhya padma]

Caught among the stars
Precious cargo of carbon,
Potential laughter

[sadparadise]

Potential laughter
my corpse a heap on the floor,
a hint of pleasure

[Sapphire]

a hint of pleasure
to show the company was
appreciated

[atiguhya padma]

Appreciated
Confidence grows rapidly
A flooded river

[Stargazer86]

A flooded river
Annhilates the levees
Complete destruction

[atiguhya padma]

Complete destruction
Awaits us all. Recycling
Your body, not you.

[ampoule]

Your body, not you.
like a pretzel around mine
but I want it all

[Annabelle]

But I want it all
Stretching in both dimensions
Further and above

[atiguhya padma]

further and above
thereabouts and herewithal
we stop and we move

[dara.cv]

we stop and we move
no direction to guide us
leaves blown by wind's whim.

[atiguhya padma]

leaves blown by wind's whim
Find a lawn to rest upon
Til once more they rise

[Dark Muse]

Til once more they rise
up from the depths of thier graves
to walk upon earth

[atiguhya padma]

To walk upon earth
Your dreams weave bright foreign tales
Spinning light your way

[ReflectionOfSky]

Spinning light your way
reflection and refraction
moving the colors

[ReflectionOfSky]

ReflectionOfSky :)

[redEnrapt]

reflection of sky
elemental connection
oceanic gaze

[ReflectionOfSky]

oceanic gaze
seeing the watery world
the waves of the sea

[ReflectionOfSky]

I would like to make a list of all our haikus in one big list like in page 56 ill put down all your names so that i can give you all credit

Placid with mystery of
Myriad ships dead

Myriad ships dead
Lie rotting on barren sands

Unlike cold rain, falling snow
makes no noise nor pain

makes no noise, nor pain
will break exquisite silence
breath and motion lost

[Dark Muse]

Breath and motion lost
within frozen ivory stone
silent sentinel

[atiguhya padma]

Silent sentinel
Distant and yet drawing near
Dark and endless depth

[Dark Muse]

Dark and endless depth
descending into the sea
with the sirens song

[sadparadise]

with the sirens song
a mass that ends all screaming
alone left behind

[Dark Muse]

Alone left behind
in quietness of my mind
sweet serenity

[atiguhya padma]

Sweet serenity
The scent of sandalwood here
Where we meet, ascend.

[symphony]

Where we meet, ascend.
And then--having parted-- fall.
For there is no love....

There is no love here.
Only the cruel gestures
that bind me to you.

[mazHur]

For there is no love
for you have a heart of stone
you are a statue!

[symphony]

I am?!

you are a statue,
your lips thrill for I loved, my
Pygmalion touch

[mazHur]

Pygmalion touch
aphrodisiac moments
Galatea smiles!

[atiguhya padma]

galatea smiles
widely, duosyllabic,
stretched like her smooth neck

[Haunted]

stretched like her smooth neck
is the long, sweet kiss of death
his lips sealed her fate

[sadparadise]

His lips sealed her fate
poets charms have left her cold
missing in Paris

[Haunted]

missing in Paris
love's a big territory
for us to be lost

[sadparadise]

For us to be lost
brash rivers led us astray
seized in this torrent.

[formality hater]

seized in this torrent
And trapped in a mesh
Wait till the end

[sadparadise]

Wait till the end
song composed of sullen loss
long ago our tune

[Haunted]

long ago our tune
it's heard through the thickest walls
but now our swan song

[Dark Muse]

But now our swan song
has come at last to the end
and sweet death awaits

[sadparadise]

And sweet death awaits
Why did we succumb to this?
Where did it go wrong?

[hack]

where did it go wrong?
ahead a deep wide future
narrow past behind

[sadparadise]

narrow past a head
winds a blowing frigid, cold
this is how it ends

[atiguhya padma]

This is how it ends
happiness you will never
Compass in your heart

[hack]

compass in your heart
points to me, not north or south
I am ever true

Lie of all time: Personal
Experience. Ha!

Experience. Ha!
would not come in the cradle
Injun . grow up fast

[atiguhya padma]

injun . grow up fast
when carbon explodes inside
wheels keep turning

[mazHur]

wheels keep turning
and you sit there like a spoke
turning and turning

[Dark Muse]

Turning and turning
the seasons forever change
upon fates wheel

[mazHur]

upon fates wheel
ride your deeds and actions all
you watch helplessly!

[hack]

you watch helplessly
as stillborn worlds wheel away
blind to every plight

[mazHur]

blind to every plight
untouched by calamities
I trod the odd path.

[sadparadise]

I trod the odd path
villages, taverns, culverts
observed in the night

[Dark Muse]

Observed in the night
my starlit queen on her throne
forever watching

[mazHur]

forever watching
its image in the river
the moon smiles at night.

[hack]

the moon smiles at night
water hidden from the sun
shown to distant stars

[mazHur]

shown to distant stars
the way to unknown black holes
pulsates with darkness.

[atiguhya padma]

pulsates with darkness
in some fearful hidden place
the light ebbs slowly

[hack]

the light ebbs slowly
fireflies and our sweet love
fade as life to death

[Dark Muse]

Fade as life to death
caught within the photograph
stolen out of time

[Virgil]

Stolen out of time
On a sleepy winter's night.
The tea is sweet warm.

[ampoule]

stolen out of time
no hiding place to be found
so just surrender

[hack]

stolen out of time
pebbles at the rivers edge
taken from the flow

[ampoule]

ooops...Virgil beat me, so....

The tea is sweet warm
the stirring swirl hypnotic
clinking spoon wakens
