Haiku's August 2012
1.
in the mourning light
---------------------
drinking malt liquor
as morning slowly crept in
the future expanding
2.
waiting
--------
tendrils of smoke
Curling out from a cigarette
unbroken silence
3.
the thing about people
is they're always so messy when
you open them up
4.
The velvet notes of
her voice sounding in the night
Ringing out so lightly
5.
the world cries silently
like the fleeting whisper of soul seeking
solace in the night sky
6.
aimless wanderer,
a summer breeze gazing up in
wonder at the night sky
7.
her laughter echoed
as the dancing shadows weaved
nightmares and dreams

Having bared my eyes from the massive palms, I could not get used to the abrupt bright radiance of the sun for a long time. That's when I saw her, the girl from my milky and painful memories. She was perfectly positioned by a huge cherry blossom, looking at the sky, with her right leg tucked up to her chest, and leaving her left leg straight to caress in the tender grass of the charming garden. Her gentle hands touched her face, checking her temperature, as if she was about to melt from such a busy day. Her rosy, pleasant face shimmered in the sunlight. Her pink hair almost blended with the color of the fruit of the tree she loved so much; such sakura seemed to exude human life. The lady of my dreams seemed to be thinking about the meaning of her fleeting life, because from my arrival I noticed how sad she was. A single tear rolled down her rosy cheek, as if a crumbling cherry blossom is sadly carried away from its native shrub. — Wooyen! — I caught myself. The girl turned around uneasily. When she saw me, she removed the incoming drops of tears with sharp strokes, but did not say a word. The drop landed loudly on the ground. I approached her. She could have been seen much better up close, but I just hesitated. She's really like sakura. Her kind of magic and picturesqueness of the inner world, written in her sparkling sunken eyes, fascinates. Her complexion only turned red from my approach. I gently took her by the shoulder. — Yen, please... let's get out of here. — I howled, - a little more and this place will be subjected to eternal conflagration. Come on, Wooyen. We'll look at this beauty later, just take my hand tighter. I only heard the silence beating on my ears. — dear Woo, please... understand me, — Large tears came to my eyes, — I can't lose you, do you understand? We are destined to walk this burdensome path together. I do not know what came over me, and how I found you here... there is already an alarm on the streets, we should leave the city, or else... The girl's blush was replaced by cold shades. Looking at me with her glassy eyes, she suddenly turned pale. — It doesn't matter now... what's going on. The main thing is that we are here together with you again, — Wooyen said coldly, — Tell me how things have been going there over the past year... at you... from your old acquaintances... It's amazing that such a sunny and lively girl in front of me turned out to be a granite monument, from whose icy touches goosebumps pass through my body. — You see, Woo.. me... I gave up this damn idea – to enjoy life, rushing from one dark corner to another... — I took a long breath, but continued, — I left the company of those acquaintances whom you disliked so much... about a year ago... before you disappeared... I've been looking for you everywhere. I abandoned everything and everyone... I tried... oh... I just can't get any more comfort from other people. I'm only looking for your image in them. In fact, Wooyen was not stupid and frivolous. She knew everything from just one look. Right now she stretched out her hand, smiled sweetly and, as if preparing to sing, began to pronounce: " Only I can dilute the gloomy colors. Forever, your imaginary friend. " From that moment on, the sun began to dazzle my eyes more thoroughly. I tried hard to resist this sun. — Yen... With every millisecond, I began to see her worse and worse. And with each of my heavy sighs, she dissolved into the fall of cherry blossoms. Leaf fall - like a natural disaster, attacked a random girl. My beautiful lady was imprinted in my eyes, extending her magnificent palm to me. I'm ready to grab, but my light reflexes have failed me. Did I miss her?. When the sun subsided, I stretched out my hand. but only a burning flame greeted my palm. Apparently, this place decides to defiantly die. That's when I screamed hopelessly. Carbon monoxide could have suffocated, but I didn't think about it. I didn't run away to a safe place. I didn't scream for help. All the trees that accurately remembered all our adventures in this clearing are dying of fervor and, rather, from despair. "The moments of happiness spent with you cannot be forgotten in any way" – An inner voice spoke this haiku to me more and more often, until I was burned in my shameless consciousness and in this damn, vile world where you are no longer there.

Hey everyone
I woke up this morning and I was literally flooded by your wonderful comments. I was like "sheesh! " I just want to say Thank you so so much for all your kind words, attention and support! It especially feels good with other areas of my life not doing so well! Whenever I feel down or loose my way, direction in photography, painting or inspiration I always feel supported by you all and I want to thank you all for that. It really does make me feel good and loved and as a happy person I can produce art. (Now that I think about it being depressed works too, about that's another subject all together.) But ... I just want to say
Tomorrow is back to school day for me! Even at 55, back to school is a fun time. Its been an interesting month off, full of ups and downs. Mostly ups though. The divorce papers are being turned in to court which goes both ways; sad of course, then again its a positive thing as the future looks bright indeed! This term will have more artsy classes (design, history, masks, creative writing) as I've got most all of he other required stuff out of the way,(no more math!), with an A average I might add, not to brag of course. Also ... Things are looking for sure for going to Portland State University! WooHoo! This is a dream that I have had for man
Tomorrow I get to embark on a mini road trip to Portland, Oregon to take a visit/tour on my future new home grounds at Portland State University! I should begin there Spring semester. Of course along the way I will take side roads over the mountains, perhaps a gravel road or two as well. Many photos should be forthcoming! Have a great week!
