I am sharing some of the Haiku from this week and long verse “Dreams” inspired by some the protagonists of Secessionist Movement
from Vienna, namely Gustav
Klimt and Egon
Schiele. To read more of my thoughts on the movement and see some
amazing paintings (including the world’s costliest painting sold), click

Loving is an art
That one unlearns
From Childhood
__
The wounded only know
The color of pain
Bleeding red
__
I hear
The emptiness
Nothing exists

DREAMS
_______
Dreams have color of your eyes
Hues of your smile, interwoven in fabrics
Of passion into caresses of soul
As sun set, a deep yearning
Sleep walks into night
I live on and on
In my dreams
Lingering sensation of your touch
Tremble like dew drops
On my lips
Beads of sweat run down
In passionate cries
Etching bloodlines
Between ecstasies and sighs,
Wrinkled folds unfolds
In the depths of the sea
As waves upon waves of desire
Laps it up, in a feverish dream
Buried in throes of passion
Gasping for breath
I break free
Dreams precipitates
The reality of my ‘being’
Into existence
And I live
On and on
In my dreams

dreams are hugely important as i think they happen def before reality...nice close on that...like the haiku as well..particularly the first...kinda sad we unlearn it...
ReplyDeleteI love dreams and to dream, even though they sometimes stab the helpless sleeping heart.
ReplyDeleteunlearning from childhood...Sadly I understand the haiku.

I really like your first haiku.
ReplyDeleteI find it sad that the Catholic deity can only dream like that.
loved ur lines..
ReplyDeleteGreat haiku--especially the first--so very true. You seem to restate that in your longer poem, where love is only there faintly as a memory, off in a distant dream. Klimt is an amazing artist, and thanks for the introduction to Schiele.

whispers to my soul. I especially like the first haiku - it really made me stop and think.
ReplyDeleteThe first haiku really struck me.
ReplyDeleteEven in the emptiness I hear a hum. http://www.looseleafnotes.com/wp/2011/12/on-the-clock-time-fights-for-its-right-to-be-free/
What an unusual complement to the Schiele painting -- ordinarily I would see it as a criticism of a supposedly-celibate religious hierarchy, but you've cut right through to the passion.
