Buddha mind

Burning bright

Searing serenity

Luminous light.

 

Buddha eyes

Warrior’s way

Diamond depth

Gentle gaze.

 

Buddha nature

Human heart

Sangha sings

Compassionate.

Windows to the Soul

Alexandra Carr-Malcolm, muse, poet, poetry, soul, UK poet, writing, Yorkshire poet

Pantheon Masquerade

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do you see into the poet’s soul?

Your stare puts me on edge.

I’m sat before you naked;

you write on my blank page.

 

I saw you, I know you,

and it took me by surprise.

I really didn’t think that,

you’d see into this poet’s eyes.

Please don’t be nice to me,

I don’t think I would cope,

I’d burst into tears,

and lose all my hope.

 

I’m back of the queue,

I’ve placed myself there,

I won’t move forward,

with my tunic of hair.

 

Throw me some praise,

and I’ll colour up puce,

I’ll duck and I’ll dive,

and it’s really no use.

 

I have my own mantra,

of make do and mend,

keep calm and get on,

I’m so good at pretend.

Tailpiece and bridge of violin.

 

 

 

 

 

 

You feel it in her gut

she never frets

deep mahogany throat

as you gently squeeze

your fingers around

her long slender neck

lasciviously relishing

her undulating back

feeling her taught

resistance to mastery

drawing back and forth

in self absorbed passion

playing out your fantasy

your will, your thrill

as the concerto peaks

at crescendo

First up, for those of you not connected to our Facebook page (go on – its on the left there), we can finally announce the release date of our anthology “Western Haiku: A Collection”, and some more details on it.

This collection of Haiku and non-traditional “Western” Haiku will be released on the 4th of June, and it will be available as a paperback copy on Lulu for £4.99 and as an eBook on Amazon (and hopefully other sites) for £2.99.

Juliet’s Blight

Juliet

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Holograph clouds

hang in a

blue riband sky

splintered memories

scudding fly

clear cobalt mind

troubled by

those left behind

cogitating

precipitating

Indian summers

that never come

loves lived and lost

but never won

twilight transcends

stargazing nights

Juliet’s blight

heartbreak

crowns

the

air

Even when…

you’re with her,

she’s all alone.

Even when…

you dream of her,

she’s gone.

Even when…

you kiss her,

you’re not the one.
