Decides to fall.?...

High atop a mountain, a windswept hill
I thought I'd found my true love, name of Jill
   We arched our backs and kissed
   I thought I heard a 'Pssst'
My wife?! ~ Her lawyer will send me the bill...

I will name a mountain after you,
a river or a star, maybe a street, 
with many roses, of a big city, 
from this little world  that I passed through,
seeking for a mountain, a river, 
or a star, a street with many roses,
bleeding and asking, for a name....

Ice cream and cake - A Haiku

~tedious special
why ice cream and cake bounces
at the old mountains~

on the summertime
a sweet, gentle syrup runs
after the valley

~afternoon delight
before ice cream and cake eat
the frosty and cold~

In pre-historic times
Man painted on walls
the things he wished
for.Food.Success
So holy was this act 
it migrated to churches.
Success.Power.
What we wish for.
Eastern art contains
natures elements.
A mountain.A river.
Our peaceful dreams.
Art is important.
Everybody loves it....

Ghost Gloomy Wintertime Shadow Mountain - A Haiku

gloomy wintertime
A poor, terrible ghost stalks
at the old shadows

wintertime dweller
speaking, terrible ghost talks
watching the shadows

as yon snow flakes falls
shadows of whiten mound banks
gloomy wintertime

SWEET SENSUAL SOFT AND SERENE SOMETHING THAT STANDS ON ITS OWN 
AND DOESN'T SPEAK.

PEACEFUL AND PURE SOMETHING THAT HAS NEVER BEEN TOUCHED.

UNIQUE AND ARTISTIC SOMETHING THAT IS ORIGINAL AND ONE OF A KIND.

WHERE NO ONE CAN FIND BEAUTIFUL AND BOLD SOMETHING THAT SHINES 
AND SOMETHING THAT SPEAKS TO THE SOUL.

A FLOW IN THE MOUNTAIN A GLOW IN THE SUN...

I feel we travel in our sleep
To places our soul wish to be
A mountain a coast a valley a beach
We wake up refreshed happy at peace

Any dream we have we hold
In our hearts we have to know
That reality starts from these dreams
If we work at it we can esteem achieve 

And for the things that come to pass
That didn’t happen or didn’t last
May be destined for another path
Embrace your journey with a laugh

Looking at the blue sky
From the roots of the mountain,
I see the rocky plain and the snows
I start climbing it
As I give myself courage to my last step
I feel the bite of cold rocks and icy
But the beauty of the peak takes the last breath away
I raise my arms so weary
And give the great mountain a good bop
As it heaves a great sigh 
And I say, “I have won the long trial”
Indeed, the mountain is unforgettable.

Whenever I hear songs of love past
Whenever I hear of relationships that forever will last
Whenever I meet a woman with grace and charm
Whenever I see a mother with a child on her arm
Whenever I see a mountain, a river or snow
Whenever I hear a bird or feel the wind blow
Whenever I go to church, to work or a park
Whenever I see a couple hold hands or snuggle in the dark
Whenever these things happen, what else can I do?
When every breath reminds me, I love you....

It's difficult to define a father precisely
So, let's imagine how a father would be
A father may be figuratively similar to these:
A starting point, a fulcrum, a roof, a piece of land
A mountain, a sky, a star, a beam of sunshine
A lamp, a mirror, a book, a guide,a set of minds, 
...
I reckon a father can be similar to each of them 
if he is viewed from different perspectives
However,  fatherhood will not be fairly defined 
If  all the pieces above aren't yet combined ?...
