Haiku #163

Shiver to the ground 

Last day’s horrors have kissed you 

Breathing will end soon

Haiku #161

Brittle shades of cold 

Freeze the body, freeze the soul 

Senseless, you succumb 

N.B.

Wraiths 
Embrace 
Darkness 
As
Lovers 
Do

Haiku #160

All souls are haunted 

Impaled on spikes of the past 

Karma won’t free you 

6

Forward 

Creeping 

Undiscovered 

Under 

Wires

Bleeding

Haiku #159

Let the terrors bloom 

There’s no room immune to them

Fate rolls dice in them

Haiku #157

Tiger lilies gleam

Brilliant guards in colours rare

Thrive on sunlit air 

Thinking In The Breeze

Have you ever had time enough to just sit back and watch, wondering whether the blood will clot or not?

Haiku #156

Ghosts or spirit smoke 

Shamans fly by inner eyes 

Those lands lost to most 

Haiku #155

History made flesh 

Tumours are yesterday’s fruit 

Avoid nervous knives

The Unpleasant Truth

Suicide cannot be prevented. The best that you can do is to alleviate the desire to commit it.

Haiku #154

False foetal shielding,

Protoplasmic, nightmare’s prey 

Dawn so far it’s gone

Haiku #153

Thoughts have no traction 

Slither and slide ‘cross the dunes 

Dust devils titter

Haiku #152

Tiny crystal bells 

Instrumental for the breeze 

That conducts for free 

Haiku #151

Hurry not to Hell

Go slow and smell the sulphur 

For Hell’s come to you

Hell Horde

Acres abound, 

The hammer’s at hand,

Who has the war-horn?

Who has the plan?

Where is the foe to

Receive our pain?

The vast, shaggy, masses

Born to be slain?

Were we woken too

Early, afore Destiny’s 

War?

Or woken too late for 

Gold, glory and gore?

Answer my questions 

With that mouth of

Yours, 

Or I’ll carve you another 

Where there 

Was none before!

We are the Hell Horde

And you called us forth.

Now pay up your ransom 

Else your earth we will scorch!

Rape babies and women 

Then put all to the torch!

Not even your memory 

Is proof against flame, 

We’ll even burn Time 

To erase your stupidity 

And bury your shame!

Firmly Adrift

Raise the sail and nail 

It to the boom, now stoop 

And with the toughest twine

Bind the boom and affix the

Rudder hard over so but

In circles shall thy craft 

Drive its draft, for what’s 

A life that lacks its due 

Of swells? Seek no

More for your cast off

Shore and sink within 

Your spinning ship with 

A future secure as the 

Past with promise was

Perpetually poor.

Swells

Caterwauls and
Catamarans,
Banshees and
A boat. 
Sailors don’t die 
By surprise. 
Their demise is 
Preceded by 
Portents, signs 
In the sea and sky.
The Norns snip to
A beat only seamen 
Hear, syncopated 
Dances of doom 
Choreographed to 
The flailing of limbs,
Three marks below 
The bar and foam,
As alone they limbo 
To Limbo and beyond. 
The Locker awaits 
With all one needs
On Fiddler’s Green,
Those knickknacks 
You would otherwise 
Miss for eternity.

The Vale of Unveiling

As winds the stream 
So wends the trail.
Near dawn, damp with fog,
Mists prismatic toss
Multihued tinsel o’er
The uncertain Sun.
Morning magic’s turn
As Night settles in 
For its daily dreaming 
And I’m faced with 
A new view of waking 
Fields, shaking off their 
Misty beards to greet
Another naked day.
Dawn wanderer, I,
Traversing paths my 
Fathers first blazed
In the time before mine.
I seek to meet 
The totems of
Their souls, set as
Spirit markers that 
Must be harkened to. 
This journey is mine 
Own, alone to catch 
The clues and omens 
I shall require to
Surely scry my way
From trail to sky 
With my visions etched 
By eyes three inside 
My mind, and so done,
At the meet and 
Proper time, from 
This vale shall I
Climb, to lay all bare
Before the gaze of 
RA, unafraid of
Honest judgment.
If I’m deemed whole 
Then I’m holy for 
This day, leaving naught
To do, until the morrow
When I’ll cleanse
Myself anew.

Dreamt of a Memory

Lost in thought when 
Of a sudden my 
Breath caught, snagged 
On a memory.
In hills high, a circle 
Of my fiercest friends: 
Was my warmth born 
From the flaming 
Hearth or from the 
Burning hearts 
Encircling me?
Outside, the snow in
Silence fell but 
Inside I was
Insulated by the 
Wheel of love in 
Which I was 
Warmly held.

Haiku #150

Woes aren’t yours alone 

Fate’s always a fair dealer 

Sometimes shit hits home 

Haiku #149

Time would be Master 

Kill time before it kills you 

It’ll take but a sec

Haiku #148

Do your looks see too?

Cat’s eyes can view through costumes 

Evil’s stench lingers long 

Haiku #147

Grey haze caught my gaze
Indistinction glazed my eyes 
The scene, meaningless

Haiku #146

Attention’s a trap
The mind eats sensory flow 
Excretes memories

Haiku #145

Love can be dreadful 

Wracked by Cupid’s contagion 

Hearts rent asunder

Haiku #144

My tomb isn’t my place 

For your place is still unfilled

Now I race decay

Death By Misadventure

Stroll the fields but 
Stay in the shade and 
Keep looking down until 
You’ve found your lucky 
Clover or its clone. 
Count the petals: four 
Taste the petals: bittersweet 
Rather tasty, truth to tell 
Though no vixen ever will 
Eat of it for they 
Know its smell and 
Its allure but are you 
Sure that it’s clover? 
Mayhap ‘tis but clever? 
Know this: give in to 
Its invitation to feed 
And your toe-tag’ll read: 
“Probably stopped to 
Catch their breath but 
They also caught a 
Cardiac arrest.”

Haiku #143

As if wrapped in furs

Remembered warmth fails the test 

Ice now fills my chest

Haiku #142

Orchids softly kiss

Sense and scents blend like old love

So sprout memories

Haiku #141

Call out now your soul

The rank mist makes a mirror 

Your horrors unfold

Friday 5 July 2019

Haiku #140

Vaseline has brought 

More people together than 

Any treaty has 

Haiku #139

What dies when hearts stop? 

Souls sublimate through dharma,

Hollow husks need naught

Haiku #138

Our world weaves glamours,

Subtle beauty’s alchemy,

Fed when souls fly free 

Thursday 4 July 2019

Haiku #137

My soul I wouldn’t sell
But, for a sizeable fee
I’d lease it to Hell

Haiku #136

I’ve walked, sights unseen 

Moss draped tombs tell the time well 

Still I sense your scent 

Haiku #135

Wake your eyes, look high 

Seeming dead trees now glow green 

Life’s in view anew
