Swim like bird in the sky
Lie on earth of water
Smile as Sun in the sky
Eat the cloud dust
And gain undying breathe

Season curves your lips
In endless beauty your face
Possesses, sky clouds
Alighting rains to pour in my heart

A poet
Needs a pure heart
Backing all sentiments and negative energy
Evil thoughts of tarnishing
One's reputation

A poet needs a pure heart
burning unending flames of love,
peace and unity

As he sprouts his words
As a plant growing
in the vineyard of men

Plants never dies
words never dies
Words are immortal
so is a poet

Dying in sadness is abundance muse in joy
Gradually we all shall empty ourselves into
The basket that contains a lot of water

Giving us milky way as our soul faced our body
It gets a lasting rest in this a pure heart I so incline
To be one with the Great Architect of universe

From the sunset that
I've planted my shadow,
No blossom

All by the river
Wait wait wait...
O rainbow my sweet goddess
Is the sun singing tonight
Singing a melodious tune
Tune of radiant smile beneath celestial moon
Smile at heart o sweet magnanimous rainbow sky
Up to the moon tonight
Nonviolent wind delight
Passion of the night so bright
Is the sun singing tonight
I'll be waiting by the river

Do everything that you can dream
The imagination has no seam
Float along the mystic skies
Where all enchanted fairies fly

the sun
clap its hands
and the moon
began to dance
in its acrobatic
ways, the star's
twinkle the voids
unleashing, taming
breeze that soothe
my heart in peace

Pass it on
Let it be a legacy
When children laughed
Hearts gleaming in the garden
The leaves dancing with mirth
Tears turning into smile soften the pain
O my goodly maestro
I have been by the shore
Silently inhaling the salted blue
Holding my flute with grandeur
Searching for a fine tune
Multiferious waves began to dance
Pass it on
Arrogance of the wind
Killing the breeze
Will there be a legacy
Will the birds sing
Will the leaves dance
O heaven moon
Trembling eyes
In the wilderness

so I try
to dodge time
as time has fail me
rather I sleep not
in other to be one
with day, forgetting
Hectic days brings
insomnia
as my chores end up
to fail time

impermanence
learning the meaning
from the flowers

Written by
Mike Rehling
Once again we have the sum of two parts coming together to create a worthy collaboration. The haiku brings to mind the famous Flower Sermon, when Sakyamuni Buddha transmitted direct wisdom to Mahakasyapa; this event was to become the origin of Zen Buddhism. The shapes of the flowers in the image and their petals suggest a passing of time and bring about a vision of birth and death and the impermanence of all things.

This is an intriguing haiku that brings thoughts and feelings of our own individual experiences of birth, death and everything in_between. The imagery is handled with a light touch and the obvious seasonal connection helps to bring a natural setting against what could be the stark, cold white setting of a hospital. We can feel uplifted by the splashes color and the promise of renewal and hope.

a raven crow
cry its tears
break a tomb
Corpse gets
their way out
the sky shine still
as the loose cemetery
******* misery
mourners join the tomb
in black as the raven crow
weep without solace

my soul shrouded with mist
clouds of dust covers clips
coils of hope lost from the cliff
Solitude my aging soul dies with
bespoken words I stolidly observed
stymies of sky break the silence
as it boils in yolk of steams
Reed of psychoactive breaks the hallucinations
as I walk into the gangway of illusions
Imagination of insensitive days
I fade like a sunset sun
Falling gently as Satan from the sky
I am a soul being made from clay
Wrapped with casement that belongs to the earth
And the energy to a being I solely don't known
in this I gave my breath to gods that quest for me

I dug my grave
And my pen is the right coffin

hopping dance
in a chained circle
we are robe together
fasten in an aurora chants
our lion clings as coins sound
the hopping dance of a bird
wears our heart in dewy sweat
dross of invocation rains
wizardry of mere gods invoking elements
suddenly it ceases
as void magic sparks light
moments of momentary weakness
rushes with joy
my life ceases to breathe
our life regain rebirth
into the hollow path
of unending road
i was the victim of undecorated dance hall
we are the victim of un-videoed dance step
lonely I stared at the moon
then I pregnant the elements to bear a shape
which only we understand the ways of God

Me and you
Sleep beneath the stars
Prickling sigh of ****** moments
Arouse our ******* so hard
That we see stars in our eyes
Chasm laughter our face light the moon of love
Scenic hysteria urgeness tore our sky apart
In this the cloud becomes pregnant

There is a melody
There is a celebration
There is a dream
There is a thunder
There is a chain
There is a weakness
There is a darkness
There is a lightness
There is a laughter
There is a sadness
There is a holiness
There is a miracle
There is a chemistry
There is a power
There is a loveliness
There is a happiness
In the heart of the sea

Cinderella my goddess
I got the flute
You've got the voices
I can see into your eyes
Your ravishing beauty
Collided into your inner soul
A massive love within
O Cinderella
You are a melody
I got my flute
Ready than ever before
As the sun rises the spirit of
love joyfully feeling ecstasy
Sing sing sing my goddess
O singing bird precious soul
Will you dance for me tomorrow
I got my flute rehearsing
As i walk on the sand
Trying to connect
Searching for the sweetest harmony

The last word of the bird
Please o please o please
He was spoken to the air
I have not too much time
I only have few seconds
Gosh are you listening
That flickering light
Dancing behind the leaves
Waving calling my name
Gosh
A flock of birds angels sky
Eyes of holiness
Please my devoted godly air
Will you remember my name
I will sing a song
While floating in the air
This lyrical with great desire
Will always be in my heart
At heaven's gate
I will mention your name
Holding the key of happiness
I will fly across the seas
I will fly across the mountains
I will pray for humankind to
Have a changing heart

Troublesome at dawn
Ridiculing the pavement
Targeting the mind
Heatwave trembling the veins

Right there doctor
Feeling the pain
Endless pain barking shadows
Each breath is painstaking

How do you feel right now
Gaze at him holding my head
Another powerful dosage
Taking some nameless painkillers

Right away doctor
Dangerous games sky falling
Earthquake in the chamber
A repetitious mockery darken sky

Being so stupid gosh gosh
Intellect neglect no dialectics
Uncontrollable of the mind
Quenching for the physical senses

Seating on the bench waiting
Sweating eyeballs dancing
Another prescription
Nameless painkillers

O doctor so grateful
Please listen to me
Living in the wilderness
The world of pain
It would be easy to be
On top of the games
As I speak
I'll use my PEN

Despite of all
The windows of heaven
widely open
The stars in the moonlight
singing a song of love
Despite of all
God loves you
Unconditional love
Needless to be afraid of darkness
Needless to cry shed no tears
You are not alone smile with the wind
Embracing godly given wind inhaling godly given thy sweet breeze you are not alone
The windows of heaven wildly open
The stars in the moonlight singing a song of love
Despite of all
God loves you

A heartless maestro
Forbidden the chorus
Outburst storming wind
In the ravens of dust
Vocal of bitterness escalating
hardship heartbeats
Bleeding tears
Chilly days colding nights
Stillness of sweetness
Sparkling stars murmuring
Outbreak calling sky
surrenderous rain
Pounding boom boom echoing
Deepening into the cavernous building
Tears falling the birds watching
Wondering when will we sing
A loving song

Jean C Bertrand
A groggy momentum

Have you seen her
Butterfly
Have you seen her
Please don't cry
Have you seen her
In paradise
Have you seen her
River shed no tears
Have you seen her
Flashing in sky
Have you seen her
Angels don't lie
Have you seen her
O sweet butterfly
Full moon be delight
Honey sky in paradise
Words can not be explain
O butterfly kisses
Kisses kisses kisses
Kisses kisses kisses

Crying for mercy

Hands are the most dynamic human organs...
heaven a bundle of love
hidden behind the thick grey
the clouds the clouds
getting heavier
o goodness goddesses
not a pixel no rays of
the sun
crying moon
frozen river
rough sea
crippling shadows
echoing volcanoes
mountain fire
frightening leaves
smoking valley
breathless birds
screaming waves
agitating rivers
fishes trembling
mermaids hidden
deeper in deepest sea
babies missing
mothers running
fathers fighting
debris falling
all gloom and doom

Jean C Bertrand
an eternal memory by the sea shore
imprinted footsteps with tenderness
portrait portrait portrait
unforgettable momentum

what if
my father's earrings
were golden ?

چه می شد
اگر
گوشواره های پدرم
طلایی باشد؟
As I disheveled my hair, my
scarves were gone...

موهایم را که باز کردم
...روسری هایم نبود
I buy hairpins
And the scissor makes friend
with the balloon...

من گل سر می خرم
و قیچی
...با بادبادک دوست می شود
behind the white cloud
unoticeable rays
silently moving to bring sunshine
sweet devotee
dissolving melancholy
all sweet breeze

as i walk trough the valley
watching the faces
faces of melancholy
gosh even the green leaves
needless to look at the sky
all greyish river tears within
a blanket of greedilous
perilously dancing in darkness
heaven why the sun behind
the thickest grimacing shadows
will the rain vising the garden
is it the end of the time

Jean C Bertrand
a cantique of deliverance in the forest
when the wind blows
dance dance green leaves
