Enlightenment waits,
On the other side of bridge,
Steering my motion.

Illumination,
Zen - serenity,
Calmness dawns on me.

Seeking Nirvana,
In search of sacred halo,
The Divine Union.

Harbor



Yawning ships arrive,
Waves sing dreamy lullaby,
Harbor invites home.


This Haiku is shared with Carpe Diem and the Prompt is Harbor.



This Dawn Is Worth Waiting For



I stand against the thunder
Guarding my excuses
With the makeshift umbrella
As I vowed never to go back
Hating the picture
Of what I have become
Deceit joined with lies
My delicious flavors
Stinging me deeper
Within this stupid conscience
Why the world shifts so sudden
The axis tilting me away
Deviating the path of light
The dawn will come late
As the sun mocks at my misery
I inherit the pains
The sufferings are my deeds
But now I look forward
To a new birth
The return of virgin childhood
Embracing me with love
And care
And promises
This dawn is worth waiting for.

Cultivating winter love,
Pink heart blinks naughty.

The Refined Man




A man who was very refined,
Coarse habits he always declined.
Then came a time,
He, bored of this rhyme,
Explored wicked adventures that had him maligned.
