Leon Enriquez Poet Haiku

Mystic Moments

Early start
East Coast Ferry Terminal;
Sleepy journey


Trip for two
Getaway spa resort;
Rest and recuperate


Mystic moments:
Retreat into void --
Battery recharging


To re-jig sense
Spur sensorial feel;
Find and anchor


Getaway mode
Three days of rest;
Tropical idyll


Sing a song
Joy floods again;
Refresh soiled templates


Doing nothing
Can heal you wholesome;
Empty cups need refill


So there you go:
Two lovers
Playing catchup


Take your trip,
Embrace emptiness;
Rest weary wiles


Here by this bench
Watch people passing;
Wit humours worry


Driver's hot seat:
Fast luxury car
Speeding away


Now for a pit stop
Mechanics of motion;
Preventive maintenance


Bus trip homewards
Observe fellow passengers;
Flashy mobile devices


We flood the bus
Private thoughts lurk;
Ready to unleash


Air-con bus ride
Morning masquerade;
Chameleons in-transit


Glare of morning
Sun in my eyes;
Drowsy dreamy crazy


Missing the point
Stray words dislodge;
Meaning decapitated


Drowsy movement
Blurry sensations;
Graveyard shift starts


Report and lodge
Complaint that cuts;
Fire a loose cannon 


Moody mindset
Uneasy dawn;
Distant tremors


Exit the start
Enter the end;
Roundabout lurks


Highway song
Go fast within limits;
Speedy Gonzales!


Follow the signs:
Deliver me
From my slavery


Illumination saves
Ignorance and blame;
Choice rewards freedom


Morning story
Sleep put on hold;
Awareness now grooms

Robert Pettit February 25, 2014 at 11:42 PM Reads like a typical day of your life. They are collectively very descriptive. Leon Enriquez February 26, 2014 at 2:16 AM Dear Robert: I love haikus because these are fragments of experiences that occur over time. Some are recent and others over a broad timespan. When I sit to write, the images come and I just transcribe that experiential moment until the flow stops. I just get out of the way and act as a conduit. It is only 20 percent of my day. Thanks for your comments. Leon
