Haiku and Tanka, too...
This is my Haiku and Tanka page, like you can't tell. Enjoy.
Flowers bloom in my head
They die by my mind's autumn
Bloom again in spring
Pain shoots through my head
I feel so dizzy and faint
I think I'm dying
Sean doots in paper
Sean doots in his paper of poems
Sean doots his own beat
My heartbeat grows loud
In my ears I can hear it
Not another sound
My stem is so weak
I cannot hold on for long
Flower blossom gone
Subconscious picks up
What my eyes and ears cannot
wind whispers a lie
Starry nights alone
Sky is blue like the ocean
Stars scream happiness
Aware of my hand
It's touching me softly
Something I can't stand
Sunrise to heaven
I will float on a pink cloud
My heaven is now
Wind blows in my face
My eyes water in the wind
My eyes close one blink
The knife drops to floor
The blood streams down me and I
Can't think anything
Dripping sun into
My acidic thoughts of you
but still a dour view
And when the disease
Wears off from inside of me
I'll think where you'll be
I sit here silent
trying to be clairvoyant
I induce static
And it's all because of you
You and your synthetic love
Where will I go next
I can't help to think about
how you upped and left
The horses pull my carriage
The reins running at their feet
Now you leave me with
Imperceptible rancor
That's insidious
Trying to make do
With paper, glitter, and glue
Make your image good
There is no way to go but
forward never stopping now
Nothing works these days
Slipping the scent of flowers
into potent death
Somnolent image
of you comes to mind and I
annihilate yen
Splashing soap on this
I am graced with past tarnished
Bloody and Cruel
Guess I can never come clean
You will always be in me
When my memory
is sucked dry by a black star
I will say thank you
No memories is better
Then the memories of you
You are a sweet song
but your lullaby's gone sour
You're my darkest hour
You're a glass puzzle
I was locked in your glass maze
Now a shattered haze
I'm sorry it has to be
Like bitter pre-destiny
It's not my fault you
Couldn't stand up let me out
Crumbled black flower
Dropping stars into
The life I have is renewed
Better without you
You are the fine wine
That is dripping from the one
solitary grape
May I ask one thing of you?
May I have a taste of wine?
Cold wind slaps my face
The moon melts into the sea
my reflection dies
Is there nothing in my soul?
Am I a hollow being?
When the memory
of you fades into darkness
I am left empty
Rocks overturned
Grass that wasn't there before
So much has changed
Life steadily goes forward
Ever changing on and on
Electricity
underneath the big city
through me up and down
Accumulating
water drops accumulate
Then one falls away
Your inside does scream
of the carnival it feels
twisted existence
Broken T.V. screen
I'm the only child that screams
Scream for my freedom
I don't ever want
to see your face in my head
for you're in my mind
It's unsettling
your iron cast stare on me
Stop staring at me
I'm an alien
under the probes of torment
Under my own choice
Grossly inhuman
My mind works without consent
I can't help to fight
Blue river a vein
of the earth and its being
earth's blood is poison
It runs clearly through all this
the mess we have created
My fake plastic face
smiles only when I need it
Smiles only for you
A tree of words grows
telling a tale no one knows
You reap what you sow
Plant a good word and receive
The inner peace you desire
My secret is safe
inside my little pocket
Pocket sewn shut
Trade your dreams for mine
Don't say you will that's a lie
Please just never mind
When I breathe stars in
they tickle my inner life
make me whole again
My heart aches for you
your pain is mine and only
You can have my all
Sullen delusion
I am very ill prepared
To handle this fate
A choice overbearing me
Maybe I can employ you
Television Screen
Static electricity
My heart is bleeding
