Tossed into the world haiku

Fri, 07 Aug 2009 18:40:08 -0600

Tossed into the world
from a sheltered existence
Survive on my own

4 haiku's

Fri, 07 Aug 2009 02:40:25 -0600

Adrift: open space / Alone: separate from earth / Dreams: even greater

Falling: frozen space / Crashing through the atmosphere / Earth: death awaits me

Adult-life: childish / Immature power conflicts / Delusions with age

Dreams rain on pavement / Searching the sky: that one drop / To grant my wishes

What's left afterwards

Thu, 06 Aug 2009 01:26:45 -0600

When you have exhaust
every thought inside your head
What’s left afterwards

Haikus I made for my twitter account

Tue, 04 Aug 2009 14:18:36 -0600

Do you see me through/ Apocalyptic currents/ As I truly am?

My love through anger/ Diluting hate with reason/ Forever growing

Lost in a spaceship / Aliens searching for me / Heading towards home

Starlight in my hand / Caught her soul like a firefly / Cannot escape me

Can a great poet / Have his work covered in dust / Unloved forever

Charcoal wedding ring / The weight of eternal love / Begats to diamonds

Lost, broken-heart shards / Forever missing pieces / Fractured perceptions

A glass, blown bubble / Caged inside my own damned world / Just looking outside

A glass, blown bubble / Inside without influence / Until it shattered

Pretentious romance / deluding themselves with love / to be seen by all

Delete who I am / grave inside my subconscious / born underneath life

How can they fake love / Understand the nuances / and choose the dark-side

Haikus I made for my twitter account

Mon, 03 Aug 2009 16:04:00 -0600

Night time yet again /starlight swallowed by black-hoes /Never to reach earth

Monster under bed /Darkness engulfing my heart /Flashlight in closet

Broken down body /Pieces still falling apart /Trying to survive

Needed violence /Craving others’ destruction /A bloody green-world

Another world waits /To be drastically changed /For better or for worst

Take away my soul /A Genni in a bottle /Waiting for my hell

Follow me right now /into the heart of her dream /To understand pain

What is my purpose /If no one recognizes /Who I truly am

Where do I go from /A path lost in time and space /Path through destruction

Do you give a damn /That people fall through the cracks /Life and sanity

Where is your passion? /To afraid to make a change /Life requires life

Wish upon a star /It falls from the black heavens /Death for a lost soul

Power to control /How the world spins around us /Orbiting people

Future behind us /Broken possibilities /Wondering what if

what inspires dreams / To quickly flee from our minds / Do they shape the soul?

Do you know yourself? / Understand your heart and soul / Or did you give up?

My wondering thoughts/ foot steps past our minds limits/ into a new world

Waiting for time’s change / scared of what I will find there /What will be taken?

Looking for details/ What secrets will they reveal?/ Our humanity

He gave memories/ Remembering as her own/ Truth lost inside time

Questions Propagate / What’s inside Pandora’s box / All of his secrets

Apple falls from tree / Down the rabbit hole it rolls / Mad Hater picks up

Depression soaks in / Into my thoughts and body / Draining who I am

Stress stretches my soul / Rubber band about to break / Crashing into life

Life flipped upside down/ World falling into pieces/ Some forever lost

How many lost dreams/ Are never fulfilled in life/ That could of been real?

Where do I go now?/ Options retreating from me/ Left with destruction

What we teach our kids poem

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 18:19:00 -0600

We’re teaching our kids lessons,

that they would learn anyways

Why not teach them knowledge,

that they may never find out

The aspects of life that we examined,

stumbled upon in the moment

A lit firefly in the aphotic night,

that may never come across again

To teach them how to think,

instead of what to memorize

A robotic soul caught in the headlights,

programed to see what the world wants

Philosophies that goes beyond childhood,

that matures us into adults

An old book of a heart’s fantasy,

Growing wiser with time

That they can control who they are,

and not loose all they have gained

A train derailed on the tracks,

steaming and puffing down to oblivion

Dynamism of power poem

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 16:06:00 -0600

Preoccupied with power as a whole

instead of the power within yourself

The virtue to change your own world

to define who you are

For what strength does a whole give,

if one is shattered inside?

What weight does one add,

to rely on the measure of another?

Must you resolve your weakness,

without understanding it’s nature?

For what does delusions add,

to the substance of a man?

That a man can not devour,

the insanity of the world

A world of memories and dreams poem

Tue, 28 Jul 2009 16:57:00 -0600

Thinking between the shutters of thoughts

into the aphotic abyss of the soul

Deep within the catacombs

Grows a world of memories and dreams

Dying inside change haiku poem

Sat, 25 Jul 2009 04:46:00 -0600

Dying inside change

Adulthood and childhood clash

Both worlds lost within

Dying inside change poem

Sat, 25 Jul 2009 04:14:00 -0600

Our dying adolescence

looking for answers

To revive our souls into adulthood

When the days transform into years

small ripples change into whirlpools

To resolve our inconsistencies

Yet some can’t merge the two reality’s

our childhood with our adulthood

and become lost in life

They become lost to spiritual treasures

settling for silence than absolution

That would keep their world turning

Learning from inadequacy

from others instead of from within

Dictated by everyone’s cascading decisions

Unnamed class remains social commentary haiku

Sat, 25 Jul 2009 01:44:00 -0600

life’s social classes

world dominated by wealth

Unnamed class remains

Mandolin slicer haiku emotional pain

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 17:36:37 -0600

Mandolin slicer

rubbing my heart on its blade

Tomato red bowl

Lion cloud spirits haiku

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 16:07:00 -0600

Lion cloud spirits

thunder erupts the heavens

faeries drench the earth

Two haiku's about perceptions.

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 14:23:00 -0600

We believe ourselves

to be correct with our thoughts

Then: new perceptions

Our beliefs makes us

who we are but there’s always

improvements and change

Two haiku's about our life's journeys

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 13:59:08 -0600

Looking to others

For your journey’s path in life

yet you tread alone

We all want to be

apart of one path when we

all have our own fate

Villains in our lives poem

Wed, 22 Jul 2009 23:49:04 -0600

Maybe before I go to heaven
I’ll visit you in your hell
to see how you are doing

Haunt you during your torment
over the pain you brought onto others
and perhaps you will hear the wing giggle

Because I won’t be-able to visit you in the afterlife
nor will I even remember who you are
so I’ll leave it for you to hold the memories of this damned world

Intellectual Rejects Haiku

Tue, 21 Jul 2009 04:30:00 -0600

Stagnated culture

intellectual rejects

Our society

Heart's Lyrical Love Haiku

Mon, 20 Jul 2009 20:08:35 -0600

Heart’s lyrical love
She’s the heart-beats that I share
Two hearts which collide

Lyrical love song poem

Mon, 20 Jul 2009 17:41:50 -0600

There is this person I know
And her name is written in my soul

Soul-mates quantified by the love that resides inside
Separate strings entangled on fate’s thread

She is the heart-beats that I share
and through the music of darkness, I’ll be there

Heart strings quantified by the hands of a clock
Emotional gears causing my eyes to knock

Knock on the doors of dreams, the doors of life
and open up our reality like a flower in bloom

When we are apart from one another
our voices are soliloquies and lyrics

To the representations of each-other that abide
an essence of two hearts which collide

That is neither there nor here
But a bridge across two lives

(repeat whole song backwards)
