in sunlight's bold glare
the sheen of last night's noon fades
to an opaque quartz
To an opaque quartz
Translucent yet hard outside
This is the facade
This is the facade,
the bulk of the edifice
haunts in Hollywood !
Haunts in hollywood
Stalks the troughs of our culture
stupidity comes
Stupidity comes
when we are trying too hard
I need to relax
I need to relax
Take a hit and drink some tea
To make things slow down
to make things slow down
we drag our feet through routine
hoping for more time
Hoping for more time
Yet wasting the time given
Is undisciplined
Is undesciplined
as the cheesecake customer
after dinner hour
after dinner hour
fat voices slowly turn to
quiet reflection
quiet reflection
Contemplating varied things
Forever thinking
forever thinking,
abstract incisors chomping
on green grass fulfilled
on green grass fulfilled,
the shadow of a bird's flight
tinctures here and now ...
tinctures here and now
with shadowy cast background
behind torrid frills
Behind torrid frills
hides a sliver of beauty
beyond commonplace
beyond commonplace
whose intellect flows over
resilient cliffs
resilient cliffs
slowly crumble over time
falling to the sea
Falling to the sea
Inhale the body or Lir
Drown all consciousness
Drown all consciousness;
beneath rolling waves all is
insipid darkness.
Insipid darkness
the silence of the abyss
Thus is which I crave
Thus is which I crave;
Night: its iron chains enslaving,
my soul in its grasp.
My soul in its grasp
My mind within it's great maw
Indecision reigns
Indecision reigns
Peak of high noon, stealth of dusk,
No end arises
No end arises
Until that fateful red hue
Muks the horizon
Muks the horizon
with a polluted grey sludge
east of the smoke stacks
East of the smoke stacks
a river; cold mercury
poisoning the land.
poisoning the land
globes of acid corruption
mutating ore shreds
Mutating ore shreds
Metal scraps is all that's left
Post-Armageddon
post-Armageddon
cool ash slides unseen across
endlessly grey skies
endlessly grey skies
Danu's terminal illness
Spreads to her children
Spreads to her children
Arms surge forth like a toad's tongue
Parasite of love
Parasite of love
wriggles beneath my breast, fat
with the thought of you.
with the thought of you
past potential's been wasted
but you are my sire
But you are my sire
The gilded words off your lips
Tell me everything
Tell me everything
Communicate your story
Exhale your grievance
burn and rage away
embers of salvation
fade into the night
Fade into the night
chameleon lizard friend
tomorrow is next
tomorrow is next,
today is memory's threshold,
the past but a dream.
the past but a dream
and resolve future would be
focus on the now
Nice to see you back Kiz and, nice haiku!
focus on the nowQuote:
