Harken thy words unto thee
whilst Shakespeare set thine heart free
with tragic love and fantasy
lest thou forget reality

sweetness of breath
comes to those who inhale
while lingering death
belongs to souls of shale

remorse is a life unlived
as pierced hearts get shived

I feel like with her I'm just an after thought but at first I didn't mind and that's why I feel like such a prick...
I kept my feelings separated for as long as I could 
She's not the first that I've wanted but she's gotten...

yes

i remember how we used to fly
i recall the crisp dreams that gave paper cuts
that were sweet on the skin

A Pidgeon panicked!
It flew flapping in its thunder;
In a motion rolling beneath

A solitary coo, no thunder
or wings....

Original perception
That wave of thought
Just breaking into breath

Eyes awake 
The formative tissue merges
Seeking destiny with each pounding rivet

Shimmering cultural ennui 
World weariness revolts

Motors charged innervated
With bold forward missions 
Spiritual prowess...

Like drug and alcohol addiction
we need detox 
and rehabilitation
The traitors and despoilers left
to wither and die
Too many have sacrificed
for the freedoms we take for granted
to abdicate our responsibility

Here comes the talon bird, sea eagle to you.
His grizzly bear claws will do much damage too.
A grip strong enough to break a human’s arm.
I was stunned to find this talon bird no my farm.

Stay away from the window, hide in the closet if you...

Fair-minded whale playground, compass dismisses
    Ceylon sapphire zero horizon echo orchestral chamber 
    Forge rolling bow voyages of uncharted distance 


    Cut water instant recovery, oily onyx giants' undulations 
    Gleefully refuse gravity's...

perch,     hears unseen noise
rotates its head full circle
silent flight snatch prey

Haibun: Man and the Bird

Something is opaque in the sky; he cannot read it. There has been some throbbing in the heart for quite some time but he is mentally uncertain about the emotion behind it. He is thoughtful between any action or inaction.
