endless cascades - haiku
endless cascades - haiku
Time’s apathy streams
we ride the faceted sands
down endless cascades
EaS
Distance
Distance
Instants will reveal the long range,
when pain receives the lowest wage.
Maps show the routes everyone takes,
the scenic road uses the most brakes.
Wall stained masterpieces will stay,
upon barriers if we refuse to play.
Take cards used only in high stakes,
reshuffle with beauty until it aches.
Distance flees what's insurmountable,
when measured by who's accountable.

An Ode to Goodbyes
An Ode to Goodbyes
As breezes blast tugging away the dreams,
we carried within our baskets of spring. The homemade jellies and delicate creams,
of our sun lathered picnics heart’s will sing.
The times we weave into our threshold’s clothes,
will offer warmth during Winter’s pure nights,
and make these days remain the most we blame.
We hold so high our wide eyes to love's shows,
and never critique any backstage sights,
if we do such, we'll not know goodbye’s shame.

constant craving - haiku
constant craving - haiku
crazed constant craving
burns bodies bright, light and night
she's pulling me down.
EaS
Unfreed
Unfreed
Screwed bars and bolted manacles
Frayed fangs chatter gored shackles
Thrasher tears chapped and cracking
Ichor rage burning acid blackening
Muscles pressing foul bulging soul
Reverb in vehement vexing howl
Odious eyes roll carnage nightmare
Despair creates vile voodoo prayer
To explode then rearrange repair
Slick the friction with violent ire
Morsel ooze merging chunks of gore
Reconstituted from gruesome floor
Stand erect and swing pinions high
nostrils flare foamed by what's alive
Loosed to ravage these living insides
Demonic daydream punctures pride
Talons scrape new frustrated marking
This unfreed revenge wants everything
EaS
Rain Shadows
Rain Shadow
Cigarette ash kind of sky
flake free clouds ramify
Waking droplets out of bed
pulling covers time to shed
A tiny hint a gentle assent
into quiet mirthful descent
One of countless purest beads
each craving dearest of needs
Drift the wind and blow a kiss
as ecstasy pairs with soft bliss
Polishing clouds ready each gem
setting storm’s bright diadem
They plummet further for desire
joy twisting what's to transpire
Tremors grow closer to their one
waited for their forever to come
A plunge of final passion’s throw
when drop kisses her rain shadow
EaS
Rogue
Rogue
Not sure just when,
can't actually recall.
I thought I'd know,
I'm such a screwball!
Was it in that place,
hum, or over there.
I, remember, I think,
I really should care.
To misplace that thing,
always been my, “in vogue.”
Oh wait!, that's right, I forgot!
all my joy has gone rogue.
EaS
Dourwind
Dourwind
Moving too slow and so,
the sick air can catch me.
Greased cans of madness,
tumble from my heap.
This tread ruts on concrete,
as holed boots grind teeth.
Your dour wind drool caressed,
a bruised winter wool cheek.
Your whirlwind of desiccated shame,
has love’s trash hung on my name.
EaS
Letters and Leaves
Letters and Leaves
Sudden arresting dream,
curves and linear patterns,
are wrote just above the trees.
The spell airs her name,
I know of the magic letters,
and leaves a loft in her scenes.
Step presses mundane terrain,
as collector for demons debtor.
Her name is all I have for dreams.

Restless Stranger
Restless Stranger
My corners scratch uncomfortable,
for strangers to engage in lurking.
To their ignorant, happy benefit,
no one’s seen my strangest working.
Underemployed and rightly morose,
skills never attempted, never honed.
Resting in home’s shadows, reclining,
confident His name will be intoned.
Unwise to assail His vile eagerness,
I smell old bones in his ghastly danger.
Aware of my dread deepest recesses,
and impatience of my restless stranger.
EaS
Barely Breathing
Barely Breathing
Emptying void is hollowing veins,
a strenuous pulse in hot hands.
Survival let loose and drips away,
twisting her black pearl strands.
Vampiress smiles in sultry onslaught,
his lungs hoarse and barely breathing.
Her essential victim’s ending flutter,
leaves heart dry and barely beating.

Scorched Earth
Scorched Earth
They came together furiously,
melted each other's deep core.
Entwined in the longest instant,
biting a panting need for more.
The spent slide and rolling apart,
energy consumed of equal worth.
The Moon’s lament, a kiss goodbye,
to amend a sobbing scorched Earth.
EaS
Five Years Hence
Five Years Hence
Seclusion’s sinkhole and all its weight,
defects my days and tunnels my sight.
Shoulders turn thickened under duress,
increased my means and killed my ends.
Delved beneath the moon tide stretches,
high water can only impede my methods.
Fluids that back away expose a decay,
held as high as I dare baring my face.
Deep breaths I've taken into my soul,
captured some time and maybe hope.
A smile may dawn it just all depends,
on my Sun’s radiance five years hence.
EaS
Heaven and Hell
Heaven and Hell
The Whole is shelter and sustenance,
in pieces is found weakness of trust.
The certain and understanding soul,
offers no harbor to dichotomy’s goals.
Strides taken with solace in existence,
pass paltry notions with confidence.
Abstracted destinations so much alike,
Heaven and Hell, those ideas, are life.

Spirit Animals
Spirit Animals
In lazy ways I'll doze,
with sloth letting fungus grow.
Or slide with subtle moves,
as trout in fresh river’s flow.
Tumble rocks and fell trees,
like the bear claims the ground.
Sprint along hurdling ravines,
in elk’s stride and bugle sound.
Charge and snarl, rend and break,
inside wolverine’s dread berserk.
Survey for single strike to make,
patient snake to make short work.
Create some comfort out of sight,
as the squirrel's fur lined nest.
Gaze with knowledge in the night,
as a great eyed owl poised at rest.

Gravetender
Gravetender
A heart can dissolve,
if the acid be enough.
Their permeating love,
sparkled diamond tough.
Fate allows only one way,
smiles drove into tragedy.
Two hearts, died that day,
Hers free, His dreadfully.
Now wanders as a piece,
His steps well planned.
His caring will not cease,
over other loves banned.
He tends a land of gloom,
silent stones make the crowd.
With shovel, rake and broom,
Ghost of Graves has heart bowed.
EaS
Flowers
Flowers
There should always be,
fresh flowers around her.
Their silk sliding scent, and,
heady visual liqueur.
Employ all manner of flower,
and so adorn her places.
Prepare to always have more,
flowers perish unlike her graces.

Silence at Sunset
Silence at Sunset
Morning’s lids so slight,
barely wink in Sun’s light.
Brewing up day's release,
steamy mug of night’s peace.
Ignition pushes the day,
momentum is hard at play.
City’s old streetwise prattle,
papers billow, slap and tattle.
Spring sprung and unwinds,
grating crunch of tired minds.
Time delivered by today’s test,
reviews given after night’s rest.
Wayward sounds toned down,
a slow ebbing ghosted town.
Friendly doors make it home,
ready for tomorrow's clone.
Just a sigh for a little grace,
comfort with escape’s embrace.
Silhouette city and Sun in duet,
singing silence at sunset.

Memories
Memories
Flitting and filigreed
Brittle and buoyed
Favored with floating
Creased with caring
Weathered by weakness
Tethered by treatment
Revolting when rioting
Grand when grateful
Strength given song
Vigor given venom
Meant to make a mansion.
However, our memories,
are out of fashion.
EaS
Remember Me
Remember Me
Upwards the ladder creaks,
quick steps raise attic dust.
Drop to knee and open chest,
scattered inside is only rust.
Hurry to hallway into a room,
swiftly slam open closet door.
Clothes flung and rips down shelf,
still no clue even under the floor.
Sprint to the space set for family,
pictures bordered in past joys.
Study faces and framed places,
cherished trinkets and little toys.
This dwelling will give no more,
searched darkness and the light.
His agony bends him to his knees,
ignorance lashes his mind for spite.
He's found no evidence in the debris,
a small, crying whisper, “I can't remember me.”
EaS
Lost
Lost
The pools of her eyes,
are her jungle at night.
Your ship was adrift,
You beached in her sight.
Awoke Her dark jaguar,
He moves in restraint.
Prancing to her order,
She applies her war paint.
You feel so relieved,
safe on verdant ground.
Stand and groan a stretch,
unaware of what's around.
The hunt starts so slowly,
a something out of turn.
Your eyes catch a movement,
dense, deadly, lithe and stern.
Too late to understand,
this paradise is doom.
Your love feeds her land,
blood is oil under moon.
It's better to be so very,
lost at sea,
than destroyed so easily,
and so entirely.

Black Button Holed Heart
Black Button Holed Heart
Dark glistening on oily flesh,
drunk and sick on Hatred’s bile.
Dipped deep into love’s refresh,
deluded by her delicious trial.
Left hooked high in his chest,
leftovers in a mold of trauma.
Lump of heart writhes in protest,
lies licked by Deceit’s madonna.
Drops oozing, staining each organ,
dripping black button holed heart.
Distilled agony a gift from gorgon,
detached mind his one unfouled part.

Heart’s Shards
Heart’s Shards
Dripping tired dragging a dire chore,
atmosphere numbed by fool's care.
Limping and laden under lousy days,
on shoulder hangs his burdens’ lair.
Soiled old satchel he settles down,
at Despair’s cliff edge sucking on air.
Opens bag to collect an odd object,
light of hope in a flaming little flare.
Rose hued radiance seeps in release,
charms from a supernova of the heart.
dropping the shard he denies its light,
satchel is tied for chores hardest part.
He hurls his burden howling it into flight,
blank eyes watch his hope eclipsed by the night.

Trees no longer bleed for them,

Paint the Sky
Paint the Sky
Fish eye lapis stretched taught,
tacked upon the void’s dark glow.
Variety of visuals crave success,
impatient actors in the coming show.
Slick creamy, buttered yellow,
clamours for its dab in line.
Powder puff ball dusty pink,
on tip toes, desperate to shine.
Crisp campfire popping orange,
fussing forward must be seen.
Scarlet lipped, temptress red,
the pouting coquette reigns supreme.
Prism of extras dapple the cast,
hues and bright linings on standby.
Two shows a day to open and close,
curtains up and down paint the sky.
EaS
I ...
I ...
I am the one that was expected,
blended with whatever I seem.
I am the one you'll not notice,
unlikely a find in your dream.
I am my own quiet passerby,
looking in all but your place.
I am my own big headed cloud,
smiling at the rain in my face.
I can be the big smiling buffoon,
slapping sorrow on the shoulder.
I can be the grim menacing goon,
turning away only to smolder.
You, go and look for me anywhere,
you'll not find one single pound.
I'll sit still with my own shadow,
and just write here, on the ground.

Autumn Tears
Autumn Tears
Brisk early fall morning,
warm funnel cake meal.
Awaiting a fiery roar,
in Balloon Fiesta’s field.
Colors and designs billow,
dancing with wind and heat.
Morning’s lips slightly part,
glistening dawn taking seat.
The Balloon Glow commences,
burners ignite in raucous cry.
Autumn tears soon to arise,
crying upside down into the sky.
EaS
Drainage
Drainage
A friend and I talk inside drink,
time like the fastest of decades.
Entertained with limited space,
laughing at enlightened charades.
What's on my shadowed aves,
is, of course, not on his streets.
Road courses are paved and worn,
best lap times among lost receipts.
Accelerate on the cobbled alleys,
each burned out in our own way.
Scattered in gutters and drainage,
I saw my rain not racing away.
EaS
Moments of Madness
Moments of Madness
On many dials of time devices,
are found little moments in paint.
Subdivisions that drain the day,
stand spartan and shrug restraint.
Time escapes in that tick to tock,
draped by bliss and dank sadness.
Straight past, mild now and dull fate,
vibrate with moments of madness.
EaS
Distant Daydreams
Distant Daydreams
Shed no rage nor worry,
don't bother your mind.
I'll shoulder all the blame,
you'll see my type of kind.
Closed down the doors,
over shuttered, drawn face.
Venture inside a border,
of fenced off Wonder’s place.
Wading through strong fog,
that weakens at the seams.
To navigate beyond the gate,
on trails of distant daydreams.

Never Let Go
Never Let Go
Thunder’s cracked lips smack,
Gale’s ready whip whirled.
Branches ease into a bend,
autumn flags blow unfurled.
Two lovers under duress,
Make promises on their hill.
Tree cries “Never Let Go!”,
Earth hugs “I Never Will!”
EaS
Oh, Marigold
Oh, Marigold
Oh, Marigold, tell me, do others,
look upon you the same.
They've laid you in bunches,
at crafted feet of their stones.
Adorned the grand entrances,
where converts could whisper.
Magicians tutored your petals,
to bring the wit sages sought.
If your arms wrapped at sunrise,
they foretold a wet dark day.
Slender kiss on eyelids closed,
you'd bring fairies out in play.
These variety of dressed fancies,
so many will forever try to seem.
I, however, simply look on beauty,
kissing dew from fresh day’s dream.
EaS
Summation
Summation
Salivation primed by hunger,
Solutions found in Our feast.
Sensations fondled by smiles,
Supination’s pose Our release.
Salubrious motions, You and I,
Symmetrical in give and take.
Sedation comes after the waves,
Summation’s kiss as We quake.
EaS
Gone
Gone
Gone awry with nothing gained,
I am lost and woefully untrained.
Told so often to beware the night,
I heed wisdom and stay in the light.
Yet, there I witnessed this travesty,
that sets my soul upon broken knee.
Rays of hope strewn across the sand,
some are missing carried off in hand.
I will take the rest in wrap and bind,
travel back to the dark I declined.
Set them in sconces along the wall,
lighting the way so no one will fall.

Duality: Power
Duality: Power
Forces in a confident line,
think regarding only space.
Build another secure location,
Rarely is strength cradling grace.
Sunset light strengthens in dust,
as small groups resist disgrace.
This night’s home bent and burnt,
Unwilling to cry in another place.
EaS
Duality: Wealth
Duality: Wealth
When gold’s existence,
rains from high skies.
Days and dandy nights,
breathe deeply with sighs.
When nothingness reigns,
with endless, tired whys.
Seconds melt like years,
while an existent cries.

Jewels melted in slow ride,

hot chili pepper kissed hearts.
Candied sights tempt the night,
Daring lovers to shine as bright.

Rise and Fall
King Umber steals at earthen crown,
His storm an assured ascendancy.
Clasps the sun and chained aground,
blue ice crystal eyes rise, set free.
Queen Burgeon lets fall Her hours,
halts nipping kiss on Sun’s lips.
Her mortals have endearing powers,
thriving from both fellowships.
