Senryu
The beast in us
Is a werewolf that
Despoils beauty
............................
Uniform make men
Collectively courageous
If not wise
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Senryu
When it rains
Seraphs, the clerical Angels,
Are Showering
Saying.
Time seeps through
Everything, and
Leaves you damp.
Senryu
If you feel a poems
Honesty, you need not understand
The words
Senryu
So why is it?
That single mothers
Are vilified
Warning.
No place
For workers pride
In modern
Industry
................................
Senryu
Without the canvas
Of live, how could
I know your face?
Zen.
Universal love
Is not for
An Individual
Zen
Every journey
Begins with
A dream
Zen.
Charity
Should not
Replace
Dignity
--------------
Zen
Sadists
Find
Suffering
Sexy
Saying
If you write your name
On a black board
It will be erased
Saying
If you wait for the future
It will deliver you
the past
Saying
The inequality
Of riches is its
Downfall

Senryu
Darkness is permanent
Light is uncommonness
A rare illumination
Zen
First light
Brings clarity
And forgiveness
Senryu
A whispering street
Dislikes playing children
Nobel apathy
Saying
When a wish
Comes true
Sadness beckons
Senryu
The month of April
Is not the best time
To fall in love.
..................
Saying
Insecure child
Makes for
Adult monster
..........................
Senryu
If you look back
The past becomes
The future
Zen
Neglect is
The biggest
Disease
Zen
Listen to
The silence
Of stones
Senryu
Flowers are
Colourful killers
That loves a funeral
Senryu
Pride is useless
When falling off
A galloping filly
66-9
Senryu
Sex without love
Leaves behind empty silence
And dejection
Zen
Love is
A gold coin
That never rusts
Senryu
Pity the decadent
Whose only creed is hedonism
Dawn silence, a storm
Senryu
A trees’ nightmare
A hungry, noisy chainsaw
At dawn.
Senryu
Don’t mention sex
We have better things to do
Such as....?
..................................
Senryu
The peasantry,
Sleeps soundly as bears
And drink honeyed wine
Senryu
My dad, the sergeant,
Loved his army
Took it home at night
Senryu
My sibling brother
Never had a dime to spare
Only rivalry
Senryu
What’s good is
Forbidden like
A Cuban cigar
........................
Senryu
Ebony shines as
A black star on the sky
Blinding you
