Haiku Blowout

I (meta haiku)
First, I count to five
then seven more syllables
and five to finish

II
Tranquility is
a dragonfly passing by
on a summer's day

III
Always remember
that the past is tense and the
future is perfect

IV
If you can make a
home of your heart then you will
never be alone

V
Do take my hand and
sit very still to hear how
softly the snow falls

VI
One thing I would like
to know before I go is:
'Are you lonesome, moon?'

VII
I was born before
the stars were awake, and yet
the night knows my name

VIII
Be here and now for
it is the then and soon where
problems do begin

IX
All you are is now
one continuous moment
in which I am lost

X
I loved you even
before I had any clue
that you could love me

Verse: I want you

At night
when I close my eyes
and in the morning
when I rise
I want you

if someone says
your name
my heart bursts
into flames
I want you

I try to exorcise it
with verse
but each word
makes it worse
I want you

I meditate for
countless hours
and I take
one thousand showers and
I want you

It is in everything
I have done
and obvious to
everyone
I want you

in case it has not
occured to you
I thought that
it is time you knew
I want you

Verse: Psst

I thought
you should know that

I kept
all your words here

for you
on the off-chance that

you ever
wanted them back to

tell someone
that you love them

just like
you once told me

Some haiku

I
I was tainted with
insatiable love on the
day that I was born

II
Please do not ever
tell the sky what I have said
it is our secret

III
Thousands of pixels
impossibly form your face
oh, how I love you

Verse: Endings

We came
to the end
with hesitation

we came
with vague notions
and expectations

there were
epilogues that
followed on

but they seemed
to be after thoughts
anti climactic

we came
to the end
so abruptly

that we
only knew it was over
when it was over

even if we had an inkling
was there anything
different we would have done?

you know
and I know
the answer is no

even so,
we came to the end, like pilgrims
it did not come for us.

Haiku about thoughts

How like clouds thoughts are
they either elude you or
they obscure your view

Two Haiku for Tuesday, Feb. 2, 2010

I
Everyday you
should eat a poem because
it is good for you

II
Brush back the hair from
the sky's eyes and then you can
sing your morning song

Haiku: Skylarking

Remember why you
held up the sky so long and
give it a new home

Two Haiku for the Price of One!

I
You know you could just
stay here in the bed we made
and sleep in my arms

II
Come outside and I
will move to your rhythm while
the stars wound the night

verse: misplaced

you asked
'where are
my kisses?'

and i said
'right here
where you left them.

tell me
what are you
waiting for?

come and
take them
then give me mine.'
