Haiku Blog 2



~in fall's titian-ochre ~ colored sunset we kissed~ ~silky sweet lips bliss~

 

indubitably

on the cusp of maturity

we fear senility



though i have traversed

continents, archipelagos, isles

our Bali is best

 

misanthropy must

never be, anyone's belief

nor advocacy



angst etched on your face

wistful for a last caress

embrace, kiss, missed bliss



winter in Europe

expectant, delighted, nervous

in niveous heaven


will you still love me

left with niveous memory

sans youth nor beauty ?


kindness & frankness

are sublime, i shall never pine

ways, words & acts vulpine


please ignore lapses

pardon my elision

even beyond reason


look into my eyes

read my lips, no elision

neither an illusion


moon hides, not in sight

is she with you tonight  

alone, fears i fight


are you romantic

or pedantic? still i ache

for love beyond optic



listen to the rain

unburden some of your pain

this will keep you sane

 

i am lost and you

found me, you're sentient, patient

my soul's emollient



romance me monsieur

my preferred billet-doux

poem & sweet haiku



i'm a debutant

in love's play, a dilettante

teach me, my pedant


 
life's occasional

effluvium, as sudden rainfall

petrichor for the soul



you leave me confused

affection rendered obtuse

infelicitous


bedazzled by your gaze

lost in desultory maze

kiss me, am in daze



as dusk usurp daylight

i glow in dreamy moonlight

bathe in starlit night


in the taciturn

stillness of night, our passion

smolder, we burn

  

your presence mute the

urban chaos of my existence

a welcome taciturn



mere touch, and scent am lost

i become a milquetoast

i yield, totally yours



"i miss you" and "hugs"

ostensibly caring words

but, how true, how real ?



if  vast affection

were bloviated through action

no affectation
 

my dream folderol

to finagle a boy toy

for am really coy

 
my panacea

for ennui, out of city

cavorting by sea



i perambulate

in search for suitable mate

almost desperate



your tarradiddle

tangled lies prick like thistle

insincere, fickle

 
swirl of smoke shroud 

his sombre ghostly countenance

elegant still


a fair-weather friend 

won't stand up for you when 

the going gets tough



it's time to whisper

a prayer, bread for your

weak & fragile soul


in the end, all we

really want is a fragment

of love's confusing joy


 

Haiku Blog

i learned the rudiments of poetry in school but the exposure amongst gifted poets in twitter is priceless. let me share some of what I’ve crafted and let us start with the haiku form of poetry.
Haiku is a Japanese lyric verse form having three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables. 




i love autumn's hues ~ of cerise, chartreuse and puce ~ they ruse and seduce



The next haiku was featured in an on-line link #Politiku after the leader of Egypt was ousted in February 2011


Are we witnessing

History or is it mere

Anthropology ?

                                                 

 
subsequent haikus were selected from my collection of twitter posts from 2009  do read between the tweets for the enigmatic romance angle.


daily virtual chat  

full of shibboleth and love  

endearing night cap


in the shadows of 

moonlight on bicycles we 

pulled over and we kissed


as dense sylvan jungle 

your innermost thoughts conceal 

mystery within



my affection is 

hidden in the most tranquil  

nidal of my being


confronting my ghost 

buried in guilt-bitter tears 

untenable then



I succumb to the

penumbra of loneliness

life's aches catharsis



as you rid me of

unwarranted foofaraw  

i am cold and raw



sunset & sea breeze

evocative of our

lovely escapade



beware an accolade

may be a double edged blade

if insincerely said



there is never a

 plethora of kindness

 always welcome, a bliss



i try to catch, dawn's

lovely incipient sunrise

languidly, we arise



your furtive desire

the fired attempts to inspire

 aspire till you expire



bucolic scent from

petrichor, cleanses my soul

and makes me whole



diaphanous pain

painted all over his frame

lonely, stooped, lame



ephemeral beau

warm kisses and caresses

swiftly fades as you



allow me to laze

in a torpor of daze

by your loving gaze



as dark to night creep

my somnolence become deep

succumb to sleep



the world is my oyster

desire is to gallivant

that is all i want



gallivant with me

in dreams, hazy memory

let's meet up someday



your skin glistens

chatoyant in moonlight

you are my starlight



tears stream down your cheeks

chatoyant pearls that peek

true love you seek



am lost in your gaze

your eyes, chatoyant black maze

am happy, yet in daze



you left me, i grieve

in pain, heart cleaved, immense rive

yet, i will forgive



love your quiddity

you are witty and perky

life with you not gloomy



don't you want to flee

urban kerfuffle, melee

and cavort at sea ?



we parted, i am

not lugubrious, didn't mope

there's hope, i can cope



i am dearth in wealth

but compassion affluent

sentient opulent



he's scintillating

his mind is titillating

but am suffocating



you are my Matisse

i'm your reclining odalisque

shared love is a bliss



yesternight, memory

of yesterlove, haunts me still

yesterme, yesteryou



kids as they are raised

never be parsimonious

in patience & praise



in life's daily rat race

i hunger for some languor

hugs, pats, & humor



i wear just perfume  
slip in between sheets now 
ready to sleep
