Haiku Maze 7

Dawn hurls Mystic light; Soul awakes ~~~~~~~~~ Joy speaks Wit listens; Humour smiles ~~~~~~~~~ If you must know Simply ask; Truth speaks soft ~~~~~~~~~ Acid rain Fake smiles loiter; Skeptical spoils ~~~~~~~~~ Speak softly Fragrant flower; Beauty adorns style ~~~~~~~~~ Mindful moments Peace sheds light; Joy dwells within ~~~~~~~~~ Profound grounds Deeper stillness here; Mindful meditation ~~~~~~~~~ Look thus: Do you see; Poignant feelings ~~~~~~~~~ Darkness descends Round the bend; Sunlit hours come ~~~~~~~~~ Lines in rhymes Verse attempts; Feelings crystalline ~~~~~~~~~ Outburst pungent Words regress; Uneasy impasse ~~~~~~~~~ Unhurried trace Not much said; More meaning here ~~~~~~~~~ It is what it is Reality strikes; Memory unfurls ~~~~~~~~~ Dementia stinks Meaning corrupt; Decay remodels ~~~~~~~~~ Sad but true Your good self dead; Odd mask falls ~~~~~~~~~ Too many grudges Hostile takeover; Ugly metaphors ~~~~~~~~~ Evening settles Plumerias droop; Floral sleep time ~~~~~~~~~ Dreamtime Sleepy melody; Tipsy fantasy ~~~~~~~~~ Leon Enriquez 05 February 2017 Singapore
