20 Haiku - 80 Total

Was caught in quicksand / As minutes dwindle to none / With gradual pace

Time funnels and moves / Each and every grain of sand / By binding the minutes

For the moments turn / Never to repeat again / With overall peace

A soul might extend / but the body is brittle / Life is but passing

With Death smiling / Filling up the bottom glass / And kept close at hand

A drink in my hand / Sunlight spotlight in my face / Stiff breeze in my hair

Soft summer showers / Soundly cooling the dry days / One drop at a time

One move to checkmate / I just took your queen with ease / Want to play again?

Lustful and sexy / One dirty little number / This sixty-nine is

Can’t win every move / sometimes things will end badly / You can count on that

Time and space abound / sightless searching enduring / wonders never cease

Ice tea waters down / in a glass while I write / another haiku

The mouse goes click click / keys tap on the fingertips / computer just hums

Falling forever / far past the place I began / Never to return

If the king shall fall / I will have a plan in place / for another one

Ostentatious thoughts / The most laconic moments. / Many sweet quandaries

Perspicacity / Thoughts burn brightly in my mind / Realizing the dream

Animosity / For all those on distant lands / My heart is empty

In absentia / carrying  on without you / Wishing you no harm

Ameliorate / The state of my soul within / The shape of my heart

Bipolar Storm


A flipped coin,
Forever spinning,
From heads to tails
and back again...

Two minds next to every point,
Deep South meets Due North,
Far East crosses Old West;
sometimes my tank
Is running on empty.

And sometimes my cup runneth over;
Bound in a knot and completely undone,
A storm within myself...
Summer showers against a winter storm.
