A Charming Bug’s Plight (Haiku)

A ladybird flies

And blesses me with delight

On this vivid day.

She flies but not far,

A bump into a leaf stalls

This perfect moment.

Red and black wing hues

Blend as she flutters in haste.

I wish she departs.

For once she lets up

And walks on a leaf’s stalk,

Finally she stops.

I grab hold of her,

On my dry palm she marches,

Itchy stings she leaves.

Her little wings flap

All in vain as she falls down

What a sorry sight!

In a woody nick

She now hides like a shy child,

Inside she kips from me.

At last she comes out

And I smile as she budges out.

Yes, shes the day’s star.

Swiftly, the wind blows

And she dashes in circles

Before it all stops.

Again and again

She plummets like heavy hail,

Now she flies away.

Broken Emotions

These cracks on my skin are the sores
Of your broken kisses,
My numb emotions are the scars you left
Behind,

I walk following the blood trail of my mind,
My crimson tainted thoughts speak the pain
I now call home,

Look into my eyes?
Do you see what I’ve become?
I look in the mirror and hate what I’ve
Turned into.

Cry for me so that I quench
My thirst with your pure tears,
Let the rain come and wash away my pain,
Embrace this lachrymal to heal me again,
Without you this isn’t who I want to be.

The Truth

It is not what you think it is

It is that which you speak

And all that they seek,

A hiss with a kiss

Is all that the truth has.

Today flowers will die with his loss

Is this the truth?

It is the reason for your being here,

It is a slalom road to home,

Someday I’ll come

And take us away from this lame

Consign of oblivion.

Every word,

Every step,

Every breathe

You take are all in

The name of the truth.

Empathy thumps with a passion

But we choose not to see it.

In the quest of seeking truth

You lose me and I lose you.

We all are too close for

Time to separate us.

It is there for us to hold

It is that which the blind can see,

It is beneath every sorrowful face

It is in the terror of mankind

The reason for any war

Are the woes that man

Can live without…

These sins are the inner reflections

Of the demons in everyone.

I ask for the truth

And again you’ll tell me

What you want to hear.

Big Jelly Belly

Big bouncy tummy
Wiggles like jelly,
Yes, this here is my
Big jelly belly.
Inside it hoofs
And sighs with puffs.

Giggles captivate whenever
I rub my belly,
With a love so deep
That I kneel at its presence.
I love my belly and so does he.

My aching back is worth
This gift of immortality
That the lord has granted.
With my hands on my belly
I hear it’s little heart beat
Like drums, like my heart’s
Rhythmic beats, it beats
And plays tunes of an
Alien world.

Sometimes my tummy
Goes to sleep and I miss
Its cute side kicks,
At night I sleep but it doesn’t.
Sweat drips down from
My warm belly as it moves
Just like jelly.

A sense of completion grows
In me, In me an art of life
Will sprout with a cry for
Mother to warm its new
And eloquent life form.
My shaky tummy talks to me
When no one is here, I sing
Lullabies of the evergreen forest.

I wake up all sweaty inside,
I’m still sweet, like jelly the
Aches can’t break me,
A reason to be a wife,
Its treason to lose this life
Now I know what it feels
Like to be alive
Like a queen of he I feel.

Squeaks from my belly
Speak volumes I can’t
Ignore…garbles bequeaths
With pleasures only I can feel.
Immersed with life my belly is,
I hold no regrets for
My big jelly belly.

No More

A thousand times my pain has slayed me,
A million times I’ve lost me,
A hundred years I’ve lived trying to be you,
In you I saw a new me, a man of lost cause.
No more pain
No more hurting.
It all ends tonight,
On this cliff of where the gods rest,
I’ll end it all.

Last night I died in my dreams
It is a freedom granted by the angel
Of pain.
As I ask for God to send me an angel,
I also beg to breathe my last.
As I walk this walk of twinges,
I beseech to love on more soul.
No more me
No more tears
No more fear

As I look above for answers…
I lose this fight for to be free,
Free from all known iniquity
And other vices of Satan.
As I close my eyes,
I pray you too won’t sleep tonight.
Let not the gory glory take me away,
Let your will be done my lord.
No more…
No more…

It Must Be Love (Haiku)

Why do I miss you?
I did not ask to love you,

It just happened.
