Conscious or dreaming
Lost somewhere among the mind
Visions haunted him

He was conscious of –
what his actions meant, but he –
had to let one rip

Haiku – Rainy Day
Dark clouds hovering
Tossing rain drops on the ground
Splashing through puddles
¤
A dark cloud filled sky
Sitting at home all alone
Waiting on the sun

Haiku – Crying
My son’s endless cries
Hard tears on a father’s soul
Purest pain on Earth
I had debated about posting this one after I wrote it a few days ago, but it seems to fit the moment my wife and I are in right now. We are trying to let our son sleep until he falls asleep so we can get him on a better schedule. He seems to be getting better, but this is one of those tough times in his life and mine.

A butterscotch light
With beams of candy yellow

Haiku – Halloween Rising 2
Almost Halloween
The days are growing closer
Pumpkin carving time
Part 1
Pumpkins, ghosts, and scares
Halloween crawling closer
The best time of year

Haiku – Shroud
A thick graveyard’s shroud
Hangs over the world today
As peace is ravaged
••
A tall wooden mast
Supported by stays and shrouds
Help sails hold the wind
••
Ectoplasm trail
A lingering ghostly shroud
Cold spots in the room

Poem – 8 in the morning
Mommy sleeps – peaceful dreams
Baby is in the nursery
Daddy’s eyes are wide open
Such a peaceful time,
this time of morning
The sun is just up over the horizon,
ready to do its rounds for the day
I draw in a breath
I feel sleep
still
lingering
just
behind
my
eyes
I know I will need a nap soon
It was a late night
A tough night
In the end it will be worth it
The baby monitor squeaks beside me
I listen to my son as he moves about
What is going on behind his eyes?
What is going on inside his dreams?
Sweet beams of sunlight,
filter in through the window
Caffeine calls
Time for my morning cup
-
Haiku – Home
Love, warmth, peace, and joy
In a safe and secure place
I like to call home

Poem – 1 in the morning
It’s heading towards –
the wee hours of the morning.
My wife nurses as the baby feeds.
I sit and I ponder.
The joys my son could bring.
I ramble.
As I write this poem –
that has no direction.
Maybe I have no direction.
A writer I want to be.
I laugh.
Is that something I can achieve?
All the years I’ve struggled.
A few hits –
mostly misses.
As I take on this new journey.
A path into fatherhood.
I know I can’t lose focus
or
direction.
I need to be strong for him.
I need to be a good example for him.
I need to be someone he looks up to.
I guess I am really rambling now.
Like my poem 2 in the morning.
I am just rambling.
Sleep please take me away.

Haiku – A Good Cup of Coffee 5
In the pot you drip
Bring on the caffeination
Magic coffee bean
Part 1
Caffeinated dreams
Bring on the master liquid
My mind needs a boost
Part 2
Liquid energy
Red blood racing through my veins
Strong like rocket fuel
Part 3
Warm master liquid
Let me worship at your cup
Brew faster for me
Part 4
Mister Master Brew
You’re the caffeinated king
Morning starts with you

Haiku – Sky Fire 4
White cotton ball clouds
Burning on a light blue sky
The world turns crimson
Sky Fire 1
Grey storm clouds parting
Turning the sky into fire
Day ends in a blaze
Sky Fire 2
Sunlight fading fast
Leaving embers in the sky
Day takes one last breath
Sky Fire 3
Rays of sun explode
As the day is closing down
The sky above burns

Haiku – The Window
Cat in the window
Watching the birds in the yard
Remember the choose your own adventure books. Well, I am going to give you a choice. Which way would you end this one?
Eyes twitch, swish of tail
or
Killing on its mind

Haiku – Battlefield
Politics for blood
Splitting the symbol of peace
Death to innocence
Ψ
On this battlefield
Hear my lonely soldier’s cry
Where falling souls lie
Ψ
