Shared HAIKU ! Join in, it's fun!

Oh! What a mix-up! Everyone is so fast this morning! :D

* * * * *

blown through the sunlight
wisps of song disappearing
leaving only love

with delightful love
there will be less than needed,
love's never enough

man!
well see i can be fast too :D but it will be stupid like this:

leaving only love
we conjure the madness, and
the bad sadnesses

:D

love's never enough
for those who have never been
loved enough to bloom

loved long enough to bloom
roses in the autumn sun
lengthening shadows

how confusing! :D

the bad sadnesses
the kind that have no beauty
painful to the soul

both last lines are beautiful, couldnt help:

lengthening shadows
are what hold me in myself
i stand, shadowbound

painful to the soul
torn apart from bodies, selves,
i stand, shadowbound

^^^ Magnificent, Symphony!!

i stand, shadowbound
greyness behind, black ahead,
i am paralyzed

i stand, shadow-bound
trapped outside of the window
ease this choking dark

goodness...

I am paralyzed
caught within this spider's web
poor struggling fly

poor struggling fly
it's slow, steady, although it
never wins the race!

(like me! :D )

never wins the race,
the honest competitor.
cheat, and then succeed.

cheat, and then succeed,
play a spade, and keep your heart
safe for the next hand

safe for the next hand--
you. I am reserved for the
only hand to hold.

only hand to hold...
full house? straight flush? ace-high run?
i'll take two...hit me

i'll take two...hit me
my money's on the table
i will win yours, too ;)

i will win yours, too,
given half a chance, but watch...
sometimes no one wins.

sometimes no one wins,
sometimes there might be a tie...
this is not that time

this is not that time
the time for myths are long gone,
we live in stark truths.

we live in stark truths
a place of no forgiveness
grey, colourless, hard

grey, colourless, hard,
transform me from drab clay to
a shining brilliance

For now, may I borrow a word from your 2nd line to fill up the fifth syllable of line three?

Sweet smell of your hair
Inhaled, transformed, becoming
My being in you.

Thanks for the welcome cdnReader.:) And thanks for showing that too. I'll try to keep up with it;)

a shining brilliance
stills my beating heart in time
with a steamy pulse

with a steamy pulse
absorbing the warm water
fishes in the sea

fishes in the sea
mermaids in lieu of tridents
shark-led battalions

shark led battalions
marching off to their pleasure
striding through the waves

striding through the waves
to swim away from shoreline
i will not look back

i will not look back
i will abandon the world
following behind

following behind
in single file after dusk
eyes of liquid fire

eyes of liquid fire
brings fear, Yet gives
courage to my heart

courage to my heart
i strike out alone again
now turns into then

now turns into then
it feels like forever love
night eclipses day

night eclipses day
sunsets fade, fireflies wink out,
consciousness recedes

consciousness recedes
as the curtains draw away
dream ballet begins

^^^ lovely!

dream ballet begins
a silent symphony of
interpretation

thank you =]

interpretation
clearing the sands from waters
see anew the depths

see anew the depths
as you peer into the pool
afraid to jump in

afraid to jump in
but still exhiliarated
to lose dry status

to lose dry status
tiptoe into the tidepool
scooping up wet sand

scooping up wet sand
to fashion my sand empire
make the moat wider
