all i can know is me and mine
and even that can be a mystery sometimes
i could waste time trying to read your mind
or work on bringing love to my own life
and honestly the best thing
seems to be investing
in the best me
not being messy
THE MUSEUM OF LOST THOUGHTS

here( under glass)
the Christ's last thoughts
His doubts...His fears

even some say
( though some doubt their provenance )
his lost tears

here Caesar
as the knifes plunge in
the tattered thought "Et tu..?"

thought spattered
with the red rich
blood of history

the thoughts of man
displayed against black velvet
thoughts one thought were gone forever

pity you got here
just in time
for the closing bell

come back tomorrow
maybe you will be included
in the various exhibits

you the ordinary man
as the heart attack strikes
the lost voice "I love my wife!

New beginnings
are just our bruises
changing color
all of you
no more than
zeroes and ones
electronic bits
sharing flesh and bones.
Still blows me away how many friends I've made whom I've never met.
If millions of angels can dance
on the head of a pin
---
How many devils are impaled
on its tip??

Sheer silks rise and fall
Pleasure wrapped in dulcet tones
Joy beads down her brow


This haiku is dedicated to Hedone, the Goddess of Pleasure.
Other than her being the daughter of Cupid and Psyche, there isnt much on her either. Pleasure has many connotations, mich like her own name also so what better way than to play around with it!
These haikus sure are fun to do!
Here's the link for the growing collection:

Be back tomorrow with another one!
Much love,
Lyn 💜

Ciel Noir
there  ✧  is  ✧  a  ✧  star
will sleep until             it is destroyed
what we are                          and spills out life
       where our essence                                    into the void       
      become a part of the sky                   and what wise hand      
      you and I                                                             may­ fabricate      
moons and planets                                           the many things  
melting out into the night                                     that it creates  
      incandescent searing light                          moons and planets        
till the Sun begins to turn                                stone and metal  
burn whatever they can burn                           running water  
until only monsters remain                            flower petals  
     and up the chain                                       moving round      
  on and on                                   by their own power    
      to eat the bees                                    little bees          
       little birds                 to eat the flowers        
singing sweetly in the trees
