Pearl Jam Haiku Challenge

SD533

When I can't get home
Call for Lukin on the phone
Don't feel so alone

********************************

Far away from home
People stinking grease and bone
Stare like I'm the dog

SD533

Never want to stop
Not able to do enough
Yesterdays are gone

************************

There is no more time
There's nothing left to escape
Yesterday's too late

**************************

Build walls to forget
About All Those Yesterdays
Harboring regret

SD533

Brother blames on me
Pockets his hypocrisy
He's authority

**************************

Comes through on TV
Big Brother push down on me
Will not let things be

***************************

Mind won't ever clear
Filled with nightly news and beer
Nothing changes here

****************************

Pushed on from the back
Face down under Brother gun
Fly when I can't run

*****************************

Brother on my back
I got off your beaten track
Out from under you

******************************

Locking down on me
Brother tries to hide the key
I can still break free

*******************************

Like some stupid son
Brother keeps me on the run
Sights me in his gun

*********************************

Draws his bead on me
Tries to drop me with his freeze
I'm not bending knees

**********************************

Threatened with attack
Then big Brother's got your back
Says there's no more slack

***********************************

Bandaged in the flag
Pointing out the enemy
Brother is happy

***********************************

Brother's not so big
Big boss you're not even tall
No growth stunted small

SD533

Lodged with no concern
Only love can break the fall
Nothing left to burn

********************************

Light's Around The Bend
Always on the other side
Peace can never hide

********************************

You here by my side
Sleeping in transient bliss
Moments that I'll miss

SD533

Encompassing Trip
Walk the path that's been well lit
Direction won't slip

***************************************

Enlighten your trip
Don't let the past be your whip
Don't make yourself sick

***************************************

Can't find too much sense
When the past can still leave dents
In The Present Tense

***************************************

Throw pasts overboard
Don't let what's gone overlord
Get loose from its cord

***************************************

There's time to decide
What have you learned on your ride
While life lives outside

***************************************

Set regrets aside
The all encompassing ride
You are your own guide

***************************************

Find out where you fit
Make that the course for your trip
Don't abandon it

***************************************

Your drops that you drip
On the radars where you blip
Define your own trip

**************************************

When light's turning dim
Keep your lamps trimmed and burning
Let the present in

SD533

Keep on holding tight
Destined for the distant light
Survive your dark night

************************************

Don't lose what you've found
Moving at the Speed Of Sound
Always know your ground

SD533

Boring resevoir
After all there is no more
On the killing floor

*******************************

Facing my Rival
Has No Code of survival
Dead on arrival

*******************************

Rival at the door
Still hung up with metaphor
Comes to settle score

SD533

Hail Hail lucky ones
Not bound in obligation
Bandaged hand in hand

***************************

Not sure I'm enough
Underestimated me
Could be new you'll see

***************************

There's no need to think
We'll take the past you carry
Go to the same place

***************************

For my only one
Love beyond the day I die
I'm still on the run

SD533

Walk your Crown Of Thorns
On the path for which you're born
From this world you're torn

***************************************

Object of their scorn
Proudly wear your Crown Of Thorns
Don't show what they've shorn

****************************************

It's a Crown Of Thorns
When your love leaves you alone
Don't know who you know

****************************************

The bad moon ceiling
Faded ponies for a fall
Moving on feeling

****************************************

Let your life make it
Before death takes it away
Nothing left to pray

SD533

Rocking horse of time
Reveals the world and its truth
Holds pain that is mine

************************************

I wait in the dark
Only you can Release me
Not sure what you see

************************************

I am myself now
You are the wave that takes me
Release me somehow

************************************

The birds in the rain
I'm being held by their pain
It wont Release me

***********************************

Which way should I go
When I'm on the windowsill
Your wave lets me know

SD533

Stains will Wash away
You can't Wash away the stray
Truth gets in the way

***********************************

Buying just a need
With the devil's seeded sin
The filth lies within

***********************************

Let it rain today
My mind needs a clean new taste
Tears Wash down my face

***********************************

Back to form that's clean
When your smiling eyes are seen
My love is washed pure

***********************************

Wash my love each day
My heart and mind free from doubt
White inside and out

SD533

I've discarded all
Leave piss puddles on your ground
Not another sound

****************************************

Push Me and Pull Me
I know now that I can't stay
Nothing left to say

****************************************

Break like an ocean
I'm pushed and pulled by the shore
Almost out the door

SD533

I'm on the Moonlight
It's pulling me in its sway
Time to get away

*****************************

Meet me on the moon
That shines in both of our skies
The gleam in our eyes

SD533

Please stand by the shore
I will be back there once more
The sea will rise me

************************************

Dreaming of your touch
The currents shift towards you
Oceans hold so much

************************************

Waves roll through my head
Are you still holding the thread
Ringed by what we said

************************************

No reason to stray
Oceans won't take me away
I'll be there today

I really like this one...

SD533

Once like someone else
When I could control myself
No longer in it

********************************

The bomb in the head
Hates the heat and all it brings
Try to pray instead

*********************************

Tell backstreet lovers
To stay away from the road
Once someone explodes

********************************

Once upon a time
It was relived without pain
Discreetly insane

SD533

Got to say it now
It's better now than too late
Still Amongst The Waves

*********************************

Now's the time why wait
While you're here Amongst The Waves
Before it's too late

SD533

A world washed in Black
A cradle of broken glass
For the love gone bad

****************************

Shake beneath Black clouds
Sun in someone else's sky
Lost and not sure why

****************************

Black tattoos it all
It once was everything
Sun was meant to fall

SD533

Can't get in my head
Don't want what you want for me
You can keep your bread

**************************************

Displayed like some freak
This behavior's not unique
Just want to be free

**************************************

You can't walk my path
I'm alone just like before
Can't give anymore

**************************************

I refuse your test
You are just like all the rest
I'm not in your debt

**************************************

Back where I began
I can't walk where I once ran
All alone again

**************************************

Now that you know me
I'm still cut up and in chains
Nothing has been changed

**************************************

Don't care what you know
Wear somebody else's clothes
Don't go where I go

**************************************

You don't know the boy
That lives inside of the man
Wrapped in Corduroy

SD533

Pray for better days
Thoughts arrive like butterflies
Then they fly away

*************************************

Waits for Even Flow
To begin his life again
Not like other men

*************************************

Dealing with people
From the legal halls of shame
Chases them away

*************************************

Winter's here to stay
Freezing while whispering hands
Carry him away
