angry seas, seagulls and sands (hauki)

angry seas rolling
wave on wave each one larger
swamping the small boat


seagulls circling
harsh cries ring out in the wind
plunging and fighting


sands stretching for miles
seaweed and shells scattered wide
strewn debray everywhere

touch

I close my eyes and
feel your fingers on my skin
caressing my heart.

Love Haiku

May that one true love
Lift me high above the world
Forever kiss me

War Haiku - another take

Quiet in trenches
Orders followed, carnage left
Shadows of the dead

In sunflower field
An abandoned violin
Refugees fleeing

Born for the combat
Blasts of gun fire, fierce ambush
Tin soldiers at war

Oceanzest 5.7.5. Haiku Challenge.

birds merrily sing
the woodlands teeming with sound
healing nature calls

~~~~~~

trickling mountain streams
the roar of huge waterfalls
both beautiful sounds

~~~~~~

morning sunrise dawns
night time surrenders slowly
behold the new day

~~~~~~

Ocean’s haiku challenge-2

Lifted by a breeze
Dreams transform into clouds
Sparkling drops return

No air left to breathe
Flowing sky following you
Vacuum for me

Locked in the closet
The skeleton felt confined
Those dirty secrets

The night was dragging
Nightmares kept coming back
Rooster did not care

Your Presense

Your touch is like the sun's bright rays
that fill me up with warmth
They always bring me light and life
With just one single touch

When your not here black storms gather
And raindrops fade my colour
Darkness falls another petal
Is broken with its touch

But your light still lingers inside me
While clouds cover your rays
I stay and wait for your return
As slow time passes by

The clouds begin to slowly break
while you are by my side
Your touch brings joy deep within me
and once again I'm free

A petal starts to slowly grow
while you are by my side
You take away my rough sharp thorns
And then reveal a rose

Gathering Clouds in Moonlight (haiku)

Grey mountain of sky
Eating valiant silver ships
Wild drunk on moon blood

since u left

since you left my hearts grew weak ,since you left its hard to speak, above this earth you now fly why you left I know not why, Summers day is a lesser glow, I'm even sadder amoung the snow, An angel you where here on earth, but taken way I find no worth. Free my soul and mind I pray from remembering your lovingness every day. since you left I feel less glad to heaven I am a little mad. since you left my days are unfilled as each memory I'm my mind I find a chill. Forever lost to my touch I anger long and suffer much. since you left a world darkens more as angry tears flow ever more. since you left.
