Jabbing at the tattered page, frustrated at my lot
How the camaraderie once was tight
but now the beauty is forgot
and I assess my plight
Whoa, I assess my plight
Hissing at the circumstance, calculating loss
Of fragile poesies that would fade
as blotch of ink swept across
the memories we made
Aye, the memories we made
Sighing at dashing hopes, duty now has won
Obliged that we must sever ties
in homage to the beloved one
And I muffle my cries
Yea, I muffle my cries
Arioso
Trickle, trickle down the pane
Somber nimbus weeping rain
Potent hypnosis as driblets sweep
Now there’s no need `to tally sheep
.
Fickle, fickle eyelids flutter
Muddy streams rush to the gutter
Scenes fill wells behind closed eyes
As bleak disperse in star-less skies
.
Fluent therapy lulling me
And I drift off to a virtual sea
Soon the thunderous fit subsides
Into unruffled dreams of evening tides
Arioso
I’ve finally mustered the courage to publish these haikus that I’ve written. I hope you will enjoy them. I look forward to your feedback as I continue to explore the various forms of poetry. Blessings to all adorable members of this WordPress Blogosphere who continue to support each other, here. I’m not always available to comment at will but be assured that I do read as many blogs as possible on a daily basis. You’ve all become like family and are even in my prayers now! Much love and hugs to you all
Verdure is restored
As love potion flows from sky
Tulips pucker up
****
Spring is in fanfare
Birds and trees are out at play
Children pout, indoors
*****
Rain pummel windows
Spring’s bully assaults the night
Bolts rip bleeding sky
****
Rafting down the stream
Still waters mirror sunlight
Therapy for miles
****
Summer seas invite
Tourists bask in paradise
Natives scoot for shade
****
Seasons come and go
Plants and animals know well
Mankind – still in awe
****
Limbs strip their raiment
Streets lay eager to receive
Winds are scandalous
Arioso
An elegant train streaming down the aisle
To meet the spruced gent, waiting eagerly
To taste the flavour of the damsel’s smile
As soon as he unveils the mystery
.
Her beauty hid by the trousseau she wears
Makes brisk heartbeats gaily anticipate
The duets they’ll witness, throughout the years
When twain infuse and both their joys inflate
.
A round of cheers preps the enlivened groom
To swear before the audience with pride
To love her till the day they seal his tomb
As he adorns the finger of his bride
.
She gives a lingering tear-joy response
Then he savours the saccharin at once
Ayasonice
She licked the brine from her lips
As she spilt the pain of her ordeal
Billows rolled in fury and empathy
As she held a gaze the numb could feel
~
She had been a rock since birth
But the ocean lapped against the edges
Until defenses crumbled slowly
Into sediments of self bound pledges
~
Currents of the mighty seas conglomerate
Sweeping o’er a path of retaliation
A thirsty barren soul inundated
In a refreshing mix of amity and elation
~
Brilliant blue waves rolled that fateful day
But with a sense of certainty
That she would gaze into his eyes
From then until eternity
