Japanese haiku I wrote that roughly translates to: The first time doing Is always very painful How's the second time?
The end of the road A distance we all travel Darkness as moonlight Spreads over stone and flowers That litter our path ahead
Perplexity breathes Into the hearts of all men In heart beat matters We shy our true intent like An elephant in the vent
A midst cold classrooms Seemingly short dialect Audio-connect Slowly frozen hearts will drip As conversations bubble
Lofting lazily Enter murky depths of feel Quivering eyelids Two heavy from the weight of The thoughts that lead me astray
Twelve in numbered spin Once reaching double digits Feel the crisp brisk sweeps Sudden gentle remainders Subtle breath of orange array
Why does music speak Without line or threads of time We plug ourselves in Forming an echo cocoon Never wanting to come out
Self-expressional Crooked poster on the wall Self-intentional Will you shatter, will you fall? Who will fix your frame of old?
Busy decisions Like an endless moon cycle Such a waxing life
A blank white tablet Fuzzy buzzing silences Click, click, click, and yet That single black divider keeps Blinking an endless cycle
Archaic toiling Through endless character streams To drown deeper still Beneath black and white waters Until I breathe symbolly
The darkest of nights It is on these nights I turn To these keys, clicking Fervently beyond reason Behind safely shadowed doors
Scattering shy leaves Skittering down two by two In Fall’s breeze they sink Forming such a golden path Blind-folded hearts can follow
I guess it’s about that time again time for another pointless relapse Time, like a dusty album record Spinning, around and around on end I want the needle to break or veer…
I pray for the day When my mind is clear Silence, sweet silence Schemes and impulses forgone To live without a shadow
Five points to this as stated thus… Five; to pick up things once falle… Four; to grasp all things from wir… Three; to greet, to cheat, and din… Two; to bind wild lovers with gold…
