Drawing
Following the lines
Drawn by the city
On the way home
Walk
Instead of two
I walk alone
Two-folded path
Broken
It feels like me
Feelings cut open
It isn't me

Flurries
Hands through the air
Grasp morning's flurries
With the sunrise
Thursday, April 28, 2016
Counting
One blossom
One butterfly
Two lovers
Stillness
In the Zen garden
Even the wind
Found the stillness
Roots
Working the land
Sleeping in the hay
Life felt peaceful

Effluence
There’s infinity
Hiding behind seconds lost
Searching for reasons
Zen Garden
Sand patterns
Curving the space
Stilled wind
Barefoot
Walking barefoot
In the winding grass
Rooting rejoice
Steps
With the first steps
One feels each raindrop
Then just the rain
Resilience
A blushful rose
Plundered of its thorns
Remains a rose
Sailing
Who wouldn't fall in love
With the vibes of this city
A sailor I am
Tuesday, April 26, 2016
Pray
Take me away
To the end of life
Into unknown
Dive
One butterfly
And all disappeared
Into its flight
Play
Raindrops playing
Spring’s melodrama
Three-point lighting
Monday, April 25, 2016
Truth
Two Buddhas sitting
The beginnings of two roads
Which is the right one
Cleansing
One can use light
To clear the windows
Of perception
Roving
Between spring blossoms
A winter’s bloom lost its way
In butterfly’s trace
Frozen
Icy raindrops
Cut through spring’s stillness
Frozen thoughts
The Witness
An old old bridge
Witnessing today
A night's story

Simplicity
Look around
And be amazed
By ordinary
Shipwrecked
An engine purring
But sailor's heart's left behind
Long gone its glory
Being
Tomorrow I'll be
A memory of today
Long gone yesterdays
Full Moon
Look at the full moon
Climbing on bridge's folding
How daring its dreams
Almost
Almost full moon
Between man's buildings
Almost in love
The Survivor
Look at that monster
Not caring about past loves
And still surviving
Music
Each step home
A symphony
Of feelings
Monsters
One sees monsters
In angels' flutter
By looking inside
Timing
With the first smile
Settled in one's heart
One feels in love
Home
Between buildings
I feel myself home
Older it gets
Being
To fall in love
With the first morning
Poet's being

Laws
The laws a shield
For the mind of man
Against ego
Nobility
There must be noble
The choice of a worker bee
To cast royalty
Flutter
In the sea of green
A white point carried by wind
Early fluttering
Last Cry
A dove’s last cry
And silence settled
Dusted records

Blossoms
So many blossoms
Reach the mind and heart of man
Few find a home there
Shout
Throw your luggage
Shouted an old fool
In waters’ glaze
Confluence
Clouds follow the wind
Mind follows the stars afar
I follow my heart
Nothingness
Imaginary
Lifeform powered by unknown
Minus unity
Monday, April 18, 2016
Gray Days
Some days pass
Without sunshine
Without stars
Spin
A bean plant
Twisting around
For support
Sunday, April 17, 2016
Shout
Listen the wind
Raging through your mind
There is no wind
Flap of Wings
Glasswinged butterfly
Where did your wings carry you
Whiffles on my skin
Symphony
Repeating sounds
Break free through the air
Beloved flurries
Purling
A raindrop’s sound
Returning to source
A rebel thought
Chain Reaction
Set a heart free
Other will follow
Kindled by fire
Flight
So fragile
My butterfly’s wings
So powerful
Thursday, April 14, 2016
Pulse
Contemplating life
One’s grasp widens and narrows
With each passing trice
Dust
Life’s dust settles
On carried luggage
Sweeping the floor
Wednesday, April 13, 2016
Flight
Drunk by beauty
Perishable frames
Flow to an end
[Unnamed]
What one ignores
Grows or disappears
Springtime windings
Slalom
Waking up mornings
Letting go of night’s dreaming
Stepping between dreams
Holography
In a thought
The universe
Finds itself

Promenade
Stuck at the desk
Mind wanders outside
Short promenade
Invitation
Bathing in the sun
Nature invites for a walk
From bureau’s window
Monday, April 11, 2016
Abundance
Smiling at birds
Accepting the pain
Lessons abound
Beginnings
It must have been
A small spark of light
That started all
Sunday, April 10, 2016
The Contortionist
Slightly contortioned
An oak embraces the sky
Joggling with the stars
Asea
Man is just a ship
Caught in the waves of fortune
Until learns sailing
Saturday, April 09, 2016
Being
The rose opens
Whatever comes next
In life’s fragrance
Friday, April 08, 2016
Fire
A viola
Fast-burning in fire
Long lasting heat
Duality
In same atom
One can find much hope
And destruction
Bridges
One hundred bridges
Leading to the wrong islands
Till one finds his home
Falling
I could fall in love
Each single day with her smile
Each trice of sunrise
Blooming
With each petal
Another rose born
And still the same
Thursday, April 07, 2016
Emptiness
Perfect emptiness
Is more than one can hope for
For a mail inbox
Wednesday, April 06, 2016
Simplification
Old love
And new love
Same love
Glitter
That glittering
On butterfly’s wings
Light innocence
Tuesday, April 05, 2016
Transience
With each haiku
One feels much closer
To final act
Reality
What is more real
Sweetheart’s kisses while sleeping
Her kiss dreamed in sleep
Monday, April 04, 2016
Limits
My mind beheld oft
The shores of infinity
To find finitudes
Staircases
From its finitude
Man built sublime staircases
To infinity
Choice
The path of love
Or the one of hate
A choice we make
Mirroring
The ocean
But a mirror
Of raindrops
Sunday, April 03, 2016
Play
Between extremes
A word’s valences
Caught in a play
Saturday, April 02, 2016
Golgotha
Without love
One walks the path
Centerless
Vexation
Raindrops falling
An old umbrella
Still unopened
Estrangement
The day feels longer
And late after midnight’s call
More estranged you seem
Steps
Each step
Should be my home
In your heart
Friday, April 01, 2016
Dreams
Many dream to be
An arch to infinity
From sofa’s vicinity
