Fever dreams wake us
Hair on fire, soul soul-searching
Seize the spark that screams
OnlyHaikus Jul 2020
Still air and silence
Lonely thoughts take hold within
Friends, stories, laughs, gone
Just miss getting together with friends these days.

Garden of Heathen
Where chaos birthed light and dark
Existence laid bare
Those closest to me range from staunch Catholics to atheists. After all these years I am still searching for answers.  This isn’t my belief per se but the imagery is born from conversations.

Two saucy *******
We’re throwing out wishes
On a dark and stormy night

May your cup never be empty
May your courage be plenty
May we overthrow the alt-right

They went on carousing
Just buzzing and browsing
And putting up the good fight

Were they almost done drinking
No, just stopping and thinking
And hoping with all of their might

When who should apparate
But Donald Trump in a state
That shook the pair both at his sight

He was tattered and torn
His orange hair was shorn
His clothes three sizes too tight

He was battered and bruised
He was dazed and confused
His darkness had lost to the light

You’ve had it a coming
For a lifetime of dumbing
The witches laughed with delight

Thrilled down to their core
They just showed him the door
Pushed him out, got rid of the blight

Our wish just came true
He’s out, and we’re through
Some things do turn out all right

He’s shoved down, clean sheets
She demands control, grinning
Anticipation
OnlyHaikus Jul 2020
I have a feeling
I should get to know you.  YOU.
He told the mirror
OnlyHaikus Jul 2020
The lies were built clean
They should have worked but didn’t
The lies were all lies
OnlyHaikus Jul 2020
Calloused hand, soft hip
Bitten lip, bitten ear lobe
Short of breath wanting

Slow summer sweet kiss
Forever ephemeral
Flings alight, vanish
OnlyHaikus Jul 2020
Clouds idly drift past
Are we fast or are we slow
Who knows in traffic
OnlyHaikus Jul 2020
Love, all is not lost
Follow the Möbius strip
Grow and return whole
OnlyHaikus Jul 2020
Red choker, dim lights
Purposeful feline movement
Primal readiness
OnlyHaikus Jul 2020
Shameful ads, *** sells
Attract, distract, mind setback
Stop the machine.  Stop.
