With a heart as good as in heaven,
though detained in earth of love’s leaven.

Sonlight On Blue

Haiku-sen'ryu SERIES:

Seek things from above
feet on ground, blue sky in spring
gilded clouds chase the NIGHT

my role, just a scene
the author knows all the Acts --
personae, THE END

Premium Member Mean Ends and Means

Only clowns had masks

And secret agents

Personae non grata 

Disallowed from disguise


Now the Stasi and Gestapo

Of all nations denunciate

Those renegade souls

Who hide their screen


Blindfolded we justify

Judge and reprimand

Cushion our conscience

In self-righteousness

A Rose From Prose

He’s found his groove again
His pen finds a fount to reign
In the smile of a lady, he muses
In her voices, his rhyme bounces
Her presence illuminates his lines
Her thoughts take him thousands of miles
His rhyme is her unfading beauty
Her personae is his poetry 
Her life is his prose
With this poem, he offers her a living rose

Hit the Ground

HIT THE GROUND before I hit the ground and all this fades to dust before I turn around and start to walk away before forever is never and all dreams lofty hopes are castles in the skies of whimsical lavish desires before times tides turn to a surging rush deluge flooding out veracity in hues of ocean blues before authenticity takes on forged personae when mirages of delusion compel me to hit the ground © Kim van Breda—26 January 2015
