Alone and falling
in this state, tormented sleep
fear holds whips and chains
Fear holds whips and chains
that beg for this suffering
and greet it hourly
(I have no haiku, but still just wanted to say that I´m glad to see you again Dyrwen. )
oh my goodness! hi. :)
Heya, sort of.. drifted away into other forums. heh
and greet it hourly
the end and the beginning
sound of bells that toll.
sounds of bells that toll.
Bats shriek in the dark with words
like fingers nightly
(eh, hate having to start a new line of thought)
like fingers nightly
whisper over sheets and skin
moonlight on the snow
moonlight on the snow
I hear your heartbeat break this
beautiful silence
Beautiful silence,
pocket full of poetry
but nothing to say.
But nothing to say
When something is on my mind.
Anything would do.
Anything would do
just wrap it up in paper
and a red ribbon.
And a red ribbon
Is all that's left. It flutters
Around the lamppost.
Around the lamppost
the light falls like the skirtfolds
of a debutant.
Of a debutant
Let me sing. She outdreams all
Dreams, dances through love.
Dreams, dances through love.
Half-real things from yesterday.
Who buys milk today?
Who buys milk today?
The baby serenading
Mother for supper
Mother for supper
Allow me to pour some wine
Oedipus has died.
Oedipus has died
Elektra never quite lived
Who should we have next?
Who should we have next?
Night after exciting night
Scheherazade still lives.
Scheherazade still lives
In my heart. Her last tale still
Echoes through the nights.
Echoes through the nights-
the song of creation; night
is full of music.
Is full of music
that no ear can hear, no mind
translate, interpret.
translate, interpret!
hearts and minds will always weave
this enchanting canopy.
this enchanting canopy
so bliss doth end here
confrontation expectation
Something's gone awry
here methinks. the haiku thread
Has definite rules!
has definite rules!
lines 1 and 3: five, line 2:
seven syllables.
seven syllables
is this line I write now, and
now, very confused.
Now very confused
which side is sky and where's earth? - You
and delirium.
And delirium
Cold and lost amid the waves
Near freedom
(The) waves near freedom
Lap like a cat's tongue in milk
Lack penetration.
Lack penetration
Lies wasted in the desert
A love never known.
A love never known,
Glimpsed in moments of feeling,
Nurtured in your heart.
Nurtured in your heart,
Promissing, devastating,
Aching, urging hopes.
Aching, urging hopes
Regurgitate my stomach
Don't think I can cope.
don't think i can cope
dancing in these red slippers
when will it all stop?
(reference to the ballet)
When will it all stop
Pots pile upon each other
Too much washing up!!
Too much washing up;
Longing for a dishwasher
But, poor me, no luck!
But, poor me, no luck!
Life's a lottery ticket
And I've no money!
And I've no money
Or a rich husband in sight;
What a girl will do?
