I

Sitting; my silence
The silence of concrete, steel
Beauty deafening.

II

Fire burns within
Consuming, replenishing
Phoenix; I; reborn

III

Dark of night piercing
Through false lights of humble home
I yearn for the sun.

IV

Prostrate, aching, hurt
The world tells me I'm alive
Thank you for screaming.

V

Bark of tree protects;
Bark of dog frightens away;
Humanity kills.

VI

Stream rollicks through trees
Bubbling, trickling, murmuring
Eyes tear once again.

VII

Forests are burning
The black sky cries acid tears
We shall be as gods.

VIII

Sleep looms upon me
Bends, whispering sweet nothings
Day light all too soon.

QuasiMojo · 07-23-2003, 10:24 PM

very nice. however in VI...what is "Rollicks"

Memnoch · 07-23-2003, 10:26 PM

IX

There are those who seem
As replicas of surreal
I seek zweisammkeit.

Memnoch · 07-23-2003, 10:28 PM

Rollicking is another word for frollicking...sort of a carefree, dancy way of running or skipping.

QuasiMojo · 07-23-2003, 10:40 PM

Rollicking I am
Into the frontiers of the
mad dance and the jam.

Memnoch · 07-23-2003, 10:46 PM

Nice haiku Quasi
But please don't hijack my post
Sit back and enjoy.

QuasiMojo · 07-25-2003, 11:01 PM

Enjoy is something
I really wish I could do
waiting forever.

Memnoch · 09-09-2003, 08:49 PM

X

Stagnate in my world
Blood pounding into my head
Trying to wake up

XI

There are those who try
To streamline and to conform
Bugs on my windshield

XII

There are those who try
To surpass humanity
Bugs on my windshield

XIII

Cricket sings to me
Nature has its own music
Come to me, lovers

Memnoch · 01-26-2004, 11:06 PM

XIV

Struck down once again
Force my way to the surface
Burning bright phoenix.

XV

Alone, solitude
Replenished by my own growth
Seeking better days

XVI

Line blurs among them
Love, lust; ev'rything between
My head, my heart, me.

XVII

Rolling hillsides, green
Passing white clouds on blue sky
Serenity sweet.

XVIII

Child awakens
Mother and child, suckling
One more miracle

XIX

Flourish of feathers
Blurred streak of black, white; swooping
Master of the skies.

Memnoch · 04-14-2004, 07:40 PM

XX

Serenity deep
Introspection; reflection
Spring has come again.

XXI

Birds nesting their young
Wolves are howling distantly
Speak the wild speech

XXII

River bathed in sun
Soft words of rushing water
Sing a lullaby.

Memnoch · 12-14-2005, 03:01 AM

XXIII

The passage of time
Dust settles over my work
Winds of change approach
