Haiku-9

fresh grave
in late autumn
fresh flowers

empty road
long deep ruts
snowing

broken heart

In a cold house
often filled with sadness
empty bottle

Faith

Often I walk alone in life
Trusting only my self and my heart
But one day what I hope for, I will find
Love…you in my life I hope to find

Love of my life I am trying to find
Her name to be revealed perhaps by time
Her loving touch I hope to find
My heart is searching for soul mate in life

Only the lonely can hear my cry
Although the pain and scorn of life
Is known to many and told by some
Who loved and lost their true love in life

You are truly alive only at times
Have all the joy and peace in your heart
When love and fate and trust of the one
Lets you express what’s in your heart

You see my friends love is divine
Love that bounds and joins two hearts
No power on earth can ever brake
The love of two hearts that beat as one

I love you…to say one day in my life
I hope I will be able before I die
Love of two hearts beating as one
Is what I wish for and search for in life

So maybe one day my treasure I’ll find
A place for love I have in my heart
Destinies hand will decide my life
I hope your love, one day I will find.

Paths of Life

Signs of zodiac do rule our lives
They say and hint who really we are
Destiny is written in signs and stars
So lets us explore who really you are

Dominate by nature is Aries in life
Romantic and passionate they often are
But also impatient aggressive at times
Not like the Taurus who’s sensible and kind

Not easily angered or violent in life
Taurus’s a good friend who loves the art
Quick-witted and curious is Gemini’s sign
In business and writing they excel a lot

Moon influences the Cancers heart
Romance and kindness mean to him a lot
Leo and Aries are very much a like
They have to learn to control their minds

Comfort and pleasure is what Virgo likes
Virgo is disciplined and practical in life
Venus is the goddess of Libras heart
Hart that’s balanced with equilibrium of mind

When moon debilitates in Scorpios sign
It reels and dictates his moods in life
Noble and wise Sagittarius is
Good friend in him you will find for life

In physical love Capricorn excels
But never falls in-one until is too late
Aquarius is logical intuitive by heart
The lord of Aquarius is Saturn him self

Pisces are honest and follow clean path
Imaginative by soul and unselfish by heart
But they should beware who they trust
To many times they are misjudged

So now you know who you are not
But then again in all our lives
It is the life that really makes
Makes us the way, the way we are now.

Past

I am always alone looking in from the outside
Do not really belong to this world that’s around
I belong to the times and the lives of my past
My bones are buried in so many graves
I walked throughout history and the times of yore
The savagery of men was a sight to behold
Lived the life of a master and the life of his slave
Lived only for violence and the thrill of the chase
…and now I do wonder from time to time
what is for me to do in this life ?
So I’m just waiting at the gates of dawn
for kingdom without borders and city’s of ashes to come.

The Banker

Hello, my name is Montague William 3rd.
And what I will tell you may well sound absurd.
But the less who believe it the better for me.
For you see I'm in Banking and big industry.

For many a year we have controlled your lives.
While you all just struggle and suffer in strife.
We created the things that you don't really need.
Your sports cars and Fashions and Plasma TV's.

I remember it clearly how all this begun.
Family secrets from Father to Son.
Inherited knowledge that gives me the edge.
While you peasants, people lie sleeping at night in your beds.

We control the money that controls your lives.
Whilst you worship false idols and wouldn't think twice.
Of selling your souls for a place in the sun.
These things that won't matter when your time is done.

But as long as they're there to control the masses.
I just sit back and consider my assets.
Safe in the knowledge that I have it all.
While you common people are losing your jobs.

You see I just hold you in utter contempt.
But the smile on my face well it makes me exempt.
For I have the weapon of global TV.
Which gives us connection and invites empathy.

You would really believe that we look out for you.
While we Bankers and Brokers are only a few.
But if you saw that then you'd take back the power.
Hence daily terrors to make you all cower.

The Panics the crashes the wars and the illness.
That keep you from finding your Spiritual Wholeness.
We rig the game and we buy out both sides.
To keep you enslaved in your pitiful lives.

So go out and work as your body clock fades.
And when it's all over a few years from the grave.
You'll look back on all this and just then you'll see.
That your life was nothing, a mere fantasy.

There are very few things that we don't now control.
To have Lawyers and Police Force was always a goal.
Doing our bidding as you march on the street.
But they never realise they're only just sheep.

For real power resides in the hands of a few.
You voted for parties what more could you do.
But what you don't know is they're one and the same.
Old Gordon has passed good old David the reigns.

And you'll follow the leader who was put there by you.
But your blood it runs red while our blood runs blue.
But you simply don't see its all part of the game.
Another distraction like money and fame.

Get ready for wars in the name of the free.
Vacinations for illness that will never be.
The assault on your children's impressionable minds,
and a micro chipped world. You'll put up no fight.

Information suppression will keep you in toe
Depopulation of peasants was always our goal
But eugenics was not what we hoped it would be
Oh yes it was us that funded Nazis!

But as long as we own all the media too
What's really happening does not concern you
So just go on watching your plasma TV
And the world will be run by the ones you can't see.

And for you ?

I love you – just two words
and yet they mean so much
for some, they are words of hope
happiness and joy
for others, suffering
pain and tears.

For me? they are just words
blowing in the wind
they tell of my lost hopes
and unfulfilled dreams.

Woman

Her black silk dress
Fitted her like a sheath
The taut lines showed
Her nakedness beneath
Black-stockings
Gartered at the thigh
Stimulating to the loins
And pleasing to the eye
She turned every head
With her glamorous allure
Filled each man with thoughts
None of which were pure.
