    This is heading towards Tanka which was courtly love poetry of Japan at about 100 years after Shakespeare was passing his sonnets around. Tanka is beautiful poetry, not as spirtual as haiku is meant to be, but poignant nonetheless.

    Her phantom lover
    gleams 'neath her moonpale window:
    ectoplasmic thighs ... :cool:

    Take your leave at once,
    cast shadows o'er moonlit seas,
    endless summer sighs
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    Fading dancers lope
    barefoot on flattened tacks
    feigning youthful pain

    Clear sun thoughts streamed
    on mountain top falls
    then lost into cool speed

    the distance to love
    a path of least resistance
    closer than mixed breaths

    winter rain falls and dissapears
    later on
    winter snow falls dissapears
    different season
    different weather
    same picture
    thanks to everyone who can read what i write without having to say something mean

    the sun has risen
    touched his face but not his soul
    who cast this shadow?

    drawn out under sun
    pulsed warmly
    ice blue drops drain days

    ...this isn't one i wrote...

    Loving someone
    who does not love you
    is like going to the temple
    and worshipping the behind
    of some devil god.



    lol

    cracked me up
    in that ouch, sorta way...

    greys and green
    raining on the sidewalk
    autumn morning

    vesperal glances
    lost late light
    fallen under red autumn haze

    fire absorbs rain
    axel spins light to dark
    up all night and free
    not shaking without need

    without the moon
