Haikus, Two

for M. G.

See my eyes whisper             
             Another digital form
       Of wrong being right

***

       But your mind wanders
            In strange waters, through fire
for another chapter.

Roads

I'm chasing Gods while chased by Death,
Painting my road so careless,
A desert takes away my breath,
And makes me very anxious.

I've seen your road, ivory white,
Maya blue clouds, deceiving -
My eyes, - your picture's a delight,
In light and shades, so teasing.

The flowers silver, ice blue, teal,
Enchant my wasteland vision.
I know I'm not allowed to feel -
so much for just a fiction.

The lake, liquid, electric blue,
I'm tense and feel so captive,
'Cause I have lost my road for you,
The blue was too deceptive.

Anaesthetized

Her mind dreams notes painted in silver,
And doubts the future will arise
The lost emotions, lost within her,
She feels ... anaesthetized.

The world, the wind, seem mere illusions,
Eons went by since life surprised,
With passion, thrill, obsessed infusions,
Her heart ... anaesthetized.

Colors seem cold. They are reflections,
Of light, and she has been advised,
There are no angels, elfs or demons,
Her eyes ... anaesthetized.

Breathing in desert. Sands seal the sound,
Her vision's always theorized,
And though eternal, she has found,
Her lips ... anaesthetized.

She kisses snow. Feels icey mirrors,
And all around -, shadows disguised,
And voices, echoes, frozen whispers,
Her Soul ... anaesthetized.

Distance

The distance to a soul, unknown,

The distance hiding beneath eyes.

A touch away, but ever so,

A touch that only lies.

And would I ever dare to walk,

The distance to a soul, unknown,

I'd seek a bridge, and ever so,

Walk up, up, up... and down.

But as my eyes are made of stone,

And all my dreams of icey nights,

The distance to a soul, unknown,

Are letters mere, a poet writes.

And I could write and write and write,

Chasing old shadows, all alone,

Yet never walking, sadly quite,

The distance to a soul, unknown.

Locus Solus

The 'Soul' is a different entity ... ever far and alone. Doleful chamber of autopoiesis

Dissembled dark. I doubt he'll write,

That he's lost in a mirror,

The poets effulgent delight

Reflects always a dimmer...

... a dimmer sound, entailing sin,

In forms which once were breathless,

Havoc emerging from within,

Eventually exile, now faithless...

... now faithless dreams in flawless time,

Endless in lonely hours,

Dreaming of a dreadfull rhyme,

That 'we' would call now 'ours'.

Curiosity

Meet me:

I'm called curiosity -

I'm the voice of the restless.

And I am made to taste

All that is tasteless

- to anteriority.

Here,

I am placed before fear -

Yet feared am I by many,

For I am made to see,

All things so uncanny

- behind the lone-moving gear.

Distinct,

From reason, from instinct -

Times hunter, times pray,

I am made to smell

Wind carrying away

- World existant, world extinct.

I place

Time and space -

In the hands of the poor.

And to feel, am I made -

Lies, Truths, so the more

- how they grow, how they race.

Relentless,

My stories are endless,

From Winter to Summer, to Spring or to Fall.

I'm the motion, the force -

I am made to do all

But to hear the Silence.

Strange Allegory

Vader: I find your lack of faith

disturbing.

Tarkin: Enough of this! Vader,

release him!

Lately,

We lived a strange allegory,

With you here

And me on Alpha Centauri,

With a connection made

More EM - than TELE-pathically.

Boldly,

You're exploring the moon, wildly,

Of Endor,

With me, elegantly,

Trying to invade,

This forest-moon of liberty,

Because, well - you see -,

Here, on Alpha Centauri,

Beings like me,

Don't understand being free.

Yet, fear not.

Clearly.

I misremember the journey

To Cloud City,

And its teachings of Anti

-Gravity,

It's because of the dust, I suppose,

On Alpha Centauri.

Maybe.

But, Fear not.

Eventually,

I'll learn to fly,

With the speed of light, dazzingly,

Towards undreamed dreams, in dreamy -

Landscapes, empty

At first,

Yet free.

Beyond Bespin, and Alderaan

And Mustafar,

Beyond Mon Calamari,

And even Alpha Centauri,

Beyond Hoth, Camino

And Naboo

TELE-pathically,

From QuantumSpaceAttachments,

Leaving traces,

Just for you.
