MODERN  HAIKU


nature looming in dark
choking ice dust heaven earth
worlds cauterized black
trees barren childless
dead before time erased time
burnt blood dehydrated
Form: Haiku


Premium Member Broken Warriors

Broken soldiers
Splintered dreams
Huddled
The horror of now
Haunted
By the horrors of then
Scarred, sutured,
But as yet
Un-cauterized
Wounds
Forever bleeding
Into their present

Spring

Chlorophyll,
dissected hearts,
painfully
realized.
Atom bomb,
broken glass,
finally
putrefied.
Sanctuary,
is absurd,
heavenly,
dramatized.
Warming sun,
fragrant bloom,
fitfully,
cauterized.

Eyes wide
Lids pinned
Loss of skin

Rise

Skies
All seeing eyes
Umbilical ties

Rise

Disperse
Immerse
Uncompromised

Rise

Engulf
Expelled
Cauterized

Fall

Ego all
So small
Recall

Fall

Eyes wide
lids pinned
Fall in.

Binding Cognate

Hex jam in zinc plated steel on our fingers
wound 'till the skin broke in edges and splinters
Promised to bind any rust eye or fissure
cauterized smoking of thus
We are the cogs in the wheels at ignition
fluid in motion except indecision
Bliss like a novel in last stage revision
Unusual vehicle: "Us".

Old Flame

Not knowing she were alive or dead,
I kept her memory sedated
in the three-walled room.

Now I hear she is alive
(though a little arthritic),
and living in Sussex with four cats.

Of course the affair now must cease,
the fantasy cauterized.

I won’t, after all these years,
visit her.

I may write a letter,
with a promise to call one day,
but she will not be there anymore
and nor will I.
