For Paris

We must never be silent

SILENT IS THE EVIL

There is no music like the dissonance of pain

There are no echoes like the discovery of loss

There were no sounds like the devastation in a heart break

Death is not the evil

Silence is pretending that death is the evil 

Silence where loss removes laughter

Silence, the next evil

Silence, that lack of quiet

Silence, of a heart break

Pain becomes music

Loss echoes a discovery

That heat break is it's own music

Pain's dissonant composition

The sound of heart break

And, for us, a new composition in life

We must never be silent

Joyous is our music 

That lives through heart beak

HAIKU WINTER SERIES 5

colours

is there a music

in silence's beating heart

as fall screens summer

sound

approaching winter

grey is the wonder paint brush

soft as a foot step

light

now warmth covers day

without revealing autumn

covering blankets

air

forward and so far

spring whipers promised lovers

breathing light sweetness

FORGIVENESS

do see sin
before do not

be aware

do be fair

with yourself

where is the subtle
difference

cannot colour shame
while witnessing
a sunset

sea sin sounds
have no music
subtle is the rhythm
rhyme is the shell

cannot colour shame
while witnessing
a sunset

too many colours

and the sea washes with sounds
that have a silence
that is a music

so many rhythms
to keep a beat
that rhymes

silent sounds have no sins
songs of the sea sunset
wash endlessly away

there is no silence
in the colours of a sunset
subtle is the rhythm

sounds have no rythm
beats cannot rhyme
when colours paint the sunset
silent sounds have no sins

and the sea washes with sounds
that have a silence
that is a music

cannot colour shame
while witnessing
a sunset

do be fair
with yourself

too many colours

CLOSER TO THE SKIN

CLOSER TO THE SKIN

hair to where
yes, but not there
close clipping, avoid knicking

shaving some salvation
abrupt is the departure
saving little pieces

soon forgotten
closer to the skin
is a warmth

that is nearest
to where some salvation
closely clipped, avoided nicks

magic majesty
a jester maiestas
posing and performance


seeking warmth
closer to the skin
soon to be forgotten

and the heart knows
remembers how
abrupt is the departure

saving little pieces
not soon forgotten
we are jesters maiestas

seeking warmth
closely clipped, avoiding nicks

 

closer to the skin
