Shared HAIKU ! Join in, it's fun!

clinging to blackness
onyx cameos bleached stained
stunned surface flatters

Stunned surface flatters
Whose palms,pressed upon the grass,
Drive down the black earth

Drive back the black earth;
her wet grave soaked in
saturated grief.

saturated grief
memories and printed pain
impressed on the page

impressed on the page
maddened by rivers of words,
the author, chained, wrote

the author, chained, wrote
damning his soul, damning his promise.
damning his charmed wit

Damning his charmed wit
with his devil may come grin
making me want sin

making me want sin
sin in this stained black heart
black rose of deceit

black rose of deceit,
reddened by a slit of skin,
your prickly poser

Your prickly poser
Porcupines under tightropes
Injured acrobat

hahaha - love that drama - just got it! good for you.

Injured acrobat,
Mere spectator for a time
Layed up for a month!

Thanks,Janine.

Layed up for a month
clocks ticking boring rhythms
time has no meaning

time has no meaning
to ducks, flicking their webbed feet
on star-shattered paths.

on star-shattered paths
the evening rain beats roughly
breaking up my dreams

breaking up my dreams
the moon hides behind the clouds
stars give way to Sun

stars give way to sun
at night's long end, however,
the pale moon lingers

the pale moon lingers
at the end of my fingers
if I eat this pill

if I eat this pill
I'll be rough around the edge
for a little while

For a little while
we splash in the moonlit dream
and I hold you close

and I hold you close
until your pain fades away
you are safe with me

You are safe with me
Bring your insecureities
I can understand

I can understand
the laws of quantum physics
but you leave me numb

but you leave me numb
all my nano-particles
coming to a halt

coming to a halt
pheromones dissipating
pesticides at work

pesticides at work
the more they exterminate
the more arthroprodes

the more arthroprodes (did you mean arthropodes, mazHur?)
the less my dinner really
is appetizing.

hi Zanna

sorry for the typo,,,
yes, it is 'arthropods.'

I think shrimp also belong to phylum arthropodae and they really make your dinner sumptuous, don't they?

Good point! =D

Is appetizing
more important than the guest --
I burned the dinner!

I burned the dinner
They burned the people alive
Are both crimes the same?

Are both crimes the same?
stuffed onto a kebab stick
we're all guilty meat.

we're all guilty meat
first cut into small pieces
then ground to a mince

then ground to a mince
ginger root and jasmine leaf
to beckon the East

to beckon the East
with curry and scimitars
and Aladin's lamp

and Aladdin's lamp
now gave forth a puff of smoke --
only one wish left!

only one wish left
to win the pageant of course
oh and for world peace

(sorry, in a goofy mood)

only one wish left
no child should go to sleep hungry
no men fight again

and oh for world peace
so that no men fight again
strange how thoughts combine :D

strange how thoughts combine
you came along just in time
to save our faces
