Your Thoughts
Were A
Gray Cloud.

I Tried
To Save
You From
Them.

But
They
Just Kept
Pouring
Me Down.

Sunlight on the sea
       The curved fin of a dolphin
              A lone cloud observes

Haiku is one of my favorite forms of short poetry.  I've been writing them since childhood.

I have read this poem in public on occasion but this is the first time it appears in print.

maybe the only way is writing
because then it's really mine
me i and none else except..
the pain just like a bloodline
a line none knows the cause of
looks like a road to nowhere
and i just don't seem to change
again let my body walk into a well
i wish to end up like Alice but no
still ending up in a certain hell

no existence of cloud nine
never giving me
no definition to determine
who i am inside

like giving a name to a tornado
everything we have to define
looking for a ******* sign
maybe the only way is writing
so many hours spent, tired of
forever waiting for a guideline
same tiresome fears here inside
and i just don't seem to change
giving till i'm giving to give, giving
then finally giving myself away..

and because she loves the sky so much
one afternoon
he tries to draw her name
between the clouds

Rise up !
from the waves of the ocean
from the abyss of the lake
like a man deep asleep
gently shaken

Go around !
the little boy,
bored of his old toy,
wants to play outside
while you pour on the ground.

Its the tree !
which missed you through the season,
enduring the summer,
waiting for you was the reason.

Oh the river !
tired of the bends and falls,
often stuck with nothing to push it,
looking up in hope, to you it calls.

We, your pupils !
waiting to hear your roar,
yearning to seek your blessings
come down O smoke of heaven
free us from the devils.

when I catches of you in I’s mind
at once I converts  to a cloud in the sky
because I knows a cloud is no different than you

a basketball bounces to  draw the boundaries of a back yard
a bearer space made of sounds of a game

cloud is such a temporary vessel
carrying you’s finiteness  
or I’s desire of home coming
distances in between  disqualify
exemplifying all I ness outside
you becomes I
thoughts are the songs of the mind
           only myself may hear,
           louder than laughter
           audible as low-toned whispers.
sanctuary of the fugitive heart
           when all else has failed
           or fled like rats
           from a sinking ship.
untold secret of an heir
           which seldom finds a confidant
           if only not uttered in sleep.
unbreaking lance of the errant
           with sinews rare
           as his hands are bare.
thoughts rare.
thoughts *******.
thoughts prodigious.
thoughts uninvited.
father of action
son of an idle cloud.
bereave me of my lance
                           my secret
                           my sanctuary
                           my song;
and oh…
how naked
i shall be!
Antagonistic
adorable
pink
rushed
in my
cheeks
speaking
instead of my
real emotions

d a Y       a n d .     n I g h T  

it  storms.       it shakes.

my e y e s are burning from trying not to cry
my throat in knots from s c r e a m i n g inside
my knees to the floor, my hands are raised

asking the Lord to heal what memories I've saved  
I might have lost it all,
but I will never lose my faith.

weak, I am desperate for Life.
I look within, and begin to see the Light.
Amen

Euphoria said “drink me”
I drained the bottle
got lost on cloud nine
heavy head
sorry heart but...
sober again
never again
Life's lesson can be lasting!! ;o)
