Bashō says something unhelpful
Bad Haiku
Horrible poetry for the digital age
29 Years, 80 Days and 78057 Haiku later...
The deserts silence
Empty wild desolate tracts
Looking for Christine
&
Your words and pictures
Moved me in ways forgotten
So glad you saw it
&
A still part of you
Remains where you have passed by
Forever alive

The music beckons
Weaves its spell on two dancers
Eyes meet and we smile

Hands touch, igniting
as palms explore our bodies
Our arms enfolding

Heart beats against heart
We sway, limbs move rhythmically
I lead, you follow

Our souls are open
Briefly shared emotions
Remembered passion

Slowly dance as one
The dance of passion, love, death
Our joys, our sorrow

The whole world retreats
Like lovers we both dissolve
Only we exist

Listened to myself
Questioned myself, set my goals
Strived to understand

Help those with some potential
Wake up their spirit

why bother to agonise

listen to yourself

Are our emotions?
Dependent on surroundings
Or on conditions?

Is our upbringing?
