Assorted Haiku...

a seductive sea breeze lulls,
waves gently caress the shore,
and me, as I lay down in tranquillity!

mother nature nurtures life,
offtimes, her violent outbursts
trail destruction, humble the human!

if happiness be a mushroom cloud,
singeing all in its wake,
then, blow me away, in bliss!!

dried, pressed flowers,
hidden in yellowed pages, revive
an aroma of remembered passion....

an old home, warm memories,
no longer, strangers lounge,
lost, I peer through the window....

Haiku........Quench

unquenched, my thirst
for knowledge, for wisdom
and, oh, to know the difference!


quench my desire, Lord
unleash Thy bliss, I bow
in silent surrender!!!

Haiku........Slavery

delusions of grandeur
what else, but
slavery to oneself?


" white man's burden ",
a historical ruse,
...made slaves of men!


oh! addictions, evil
born of self-weaknesses
Be cast away, slavery!


ying and yang,
completeness, personified
mutual slavery!

haiku......trance

swirl in bliss
to a mystical merger
with the Divine, immortality!

the pendulum sways
locked gaze, mind
in a hypnotic trance...

dagger drawn, slit
beads of blood glisten
paralysed, fear!

comatose, in a drug-induced
psychedelic trance, even
Death seems sublime!

immersed in musical delights
to a rapturous splendour,
énchantment, enhanced!!

Haiku....Mirage

Lost in barren wastelands
the glimmer of a river beckons
still ..... deathly hope! T'is only a mirage!


Crushed under the yoke of dictators
countries, peoples ... torn asunder
breaths of freedom, a mirage?
