A couple of haikus

1.

Deserted noon

A fan squeaks

Beneath the hot roof

2.

Its early spring

But in my weary mind

Winter looms large yet..

A haiku

The summit looks

At you, from a distance

Such a still gaze

Haiku

Flock lands on ice

A perfect coherence
The world moves on

Haiku

Day-break

Noises in the background

wheels resuming the whirl..

The Storm

YOU have come to me, on this hot noon

As the desert burns

My thoughts are blue, for a moment

The reckoning of my days

Bestowed on me

My breath is heavy with the dust of decades,

Loneliness.  The descent of a great desert

The say, nor the thought

Neither the sound

Can travel unto the truth;

But it has, behold – there is a storm

That gathers at the far horizon

The great tempest, as it shall be known

Henceforth

And forever

Alchemy

Like the after sex giggle

Or sunlight shining through the slush

Sometimes, it isn’t so complex,

Rather, a well-made soup, the

Perfect  alchemy of colours

Before it slips

From your fingers

Only to be merged with the brook …

December

IT’S late December

And another year has gone by

This decadence -

A fall, these accouterments of melancholy

Bohemian dreams of

Pristine waters

 

Iridescent skies shined for months, then bent -  

bent until they pushed us down

Into deep winter

Snow and ice and slush

Such despair – a gloom

 

Then it roared howling through cold nights

Neglected all this while, marooned in some corner

Along the wildly swaying pines

 

And people,

They had colored the night

Festooned it even

Perhaps they had seen something I hadn’t.
