Once young

we were young once

alive...

yet we still live!

A Child's laughter!

A child’s laughter shines

A rainbow of joy

Shut up, his father hisses

A sleeping cat

A sleeping cat, languishing in sun
A smile touches my face
My heart burns with envy

A majestic ship

A majestic ship
vainly floating
on a sea of sand

Lost in infinity...

While the days goes by
I am lost in infinity
searching for an end

Hope flickers

Guttered dreams
Putrefying rubble
Hope flickers still

As opposed to what I wrote a few months ago:

Pristine boulevard
Sparklings facads
War lingers

Moon light

Under the blinding glare of the sun
The sweet touch of moon light
Is missed

A sad dungeon

A sad dungeon
Stubbornly closed
Imprisoning my heart

Oh...envy

A lone wolf
Howling away at the moon
Oh…envy

An old tree

An old tree
Lost its leafs tonight
While spring flowers blossom

A failed poet

Poets aren't god
but if there is a god
or anything approaching a god
he's a poet
and a failed one at that

-the fall of Hyperion
by Dan Simmons

A dream

A persistent dream
Fading away
But forever carved in stone

A play

A play without a director
Funny yet tragic
Ends tomorrow or the next day

A stranger

There is a stranger
I know very well
Who lives close, yet so very far

Hammering away

A sword smith hammering away
Forging his heart in the raging fires
Of his sea of grief

A waterless well

A waterless well
Dreams of rain
While the world drowns

Nostalgia

Hazy spring day
Memories awaken
Nostalgia fills me

More Haiku

A sunny day
Sleep calls
Dreams beckon

Haiku

A lover’s last embrace
A shooting star
On a clear autumn’s night

A monsoon storm
A tearless man’s tears
A love lost but never forgotten
