And no stars in sight
A dark alley winding
Cold feet echo
Cold feet echo
On the wet cobblestone path
Reviving memories
Reviving memories
Sad and happy
Mist in my eyes gleams
Mist in my eyes gleams
Mirorring greyness of thought
Shiny, yet obscure
Shiny yet obscure
A distant star in the horizon
Beckons me like a receding dream
GeetaShree, I think you got confused a bit - this is not a 5/7/5 syllable scheme.
Shi/ny/yet/ob/scure = 5
A/dis/tant/star/in/the/ho/ri/zon = 9
Bec/kons/me/like/a/re/ce/ding/dream = 9
I'll take the last 5 syllables from your last line
A Receding Dream
I feel the distance closing
in eternity
in eternity
feasting with old friends long gone
an empty promise
an empty promise
gods hard wired in human brains
effect seeking cause
effect seeking cause
mired in a superstition
blind to man's nature
blind to man's nature
his wife only sees the good
suicidal love
suicidal love
a pact wicked, worn and wed
cold sheets over heads
(bad joke, taken away)
:lol: just messing with you
Oh, sorry, out of touch, continuous haiku.
cold sheets over heads
I wish we bought a heat pump,
it's warm here with you.
it's warm here with you
keep the torch of love burning
until the last breath!
'until the last breath!'
or so we said, one gun shot,
we all ran like hell
we all ran like hell
when earth felt the first tremor
and splitting sideways!
and splitting sideways
eternal hegemony
capital squalor
Capital squalor
bathes Washington these days.
The bums do not lead.
the bums do not lead
create a new paradise
the dream is over
the dream is over
reality shows its face
It's so frightening!
I want to play this
But there is no one to play
I want to play this
But there is no one to play
So I play alone.
Solitaire is fun
Solitaire is fun
Particularly with people
Who are left alone
in evenings of dark red wine:
a man and his chair
down one down go both
lovers perpetually
kissing below deck
kissing below deck
hugging beside stormy sea
sinking past conflicts
sinking past conflicts
commanding father figure
rends murderous dreams
rends murderous dreams
a coconut drops on me,
foolish place to sleep.
foolish place to sleep
try to fight off, when the prof
lectures lullabies
lectures, lullabies.
dew drops from leaves without care
onto mossy ground
Onto mossy ground
the leopard slinks his behind.
Cat tired, sleepy.
Cat tired, sleepy
Soft indifference, blunted
Life in a wardrobe.
life in a wardrobe
man, wish there were some plants here
getting hard to breathe
getting hard to breathe
chalice ignites, eyes blood red
chip crumbs fall on chest
getting hard to breathe,
a hundred unknown perfumes,
a few known cocktails
a few known cocktails
cause smirks: Screaming Orgasms
and Sex on the Beach
