Voices of the breeze
Whisper on the mountain's peak
Solace to the soul

 

Voices in the night
Death in the thick summer air.
Grandma, I'll miss you.

 

Death spreads ebon wings
Weeping friends surround a bed
Moth flits past the moon

 

Beacon of the night
Cold light spills across the land
dripping from the moon

 

My hands are idle
Spilling their love's illusion
Night. Words. We are one.

 

Behind brittle mask
Walk the stage, recite the lines
Illusion of life

 

life is a pathway
leading unto our own ends
death's the newest road

 

Fogbound road of time
past recalled but lost from view
future lies in mist

 

Mist enshrouds the sea
Compass, undecided, twists
Where to point my prow?

 

Love twists my insides
Always hopelessly needing
Confused, I hate it

 

It is a shame how
Needing to sleep can hinder
Life experience.

 

Hurricane of time
Howling 'round the Universe
Life is but a sneeze

 

during hurricanes
wind whips around everyone
waves take them away

 

Waves swell and recede
Cold brine washes over sand
Footprints disappear

 

been buried by love
a cold heart is a dead heart
killing loneliness

 

(You're supposed to use a word from the previous Haiku!)

Voices of the dead
Dusty tomes of epic poems
Echo in my head

 

Dusty Memories
Photographs of family.
Long lost, but still loved.

 

Lost in the shifting
Water crashing, sand sifting
World rearranging.

 

The Gift of foresight
Never putting a foot wrong
Who has it? No-one!

Sorry- lot's of Haiku under the bridge since the one I thought I was following.

I haven't lost the plot
but time passed between idea
and execution

 

(More than 17 syllables in the previous haiku)

Moments lost in time
Silhouettes against the sky
Frost encrusts the heart

 

Frost upon the pane
Icy feathers hide the view
Ancient fingers creak

 

Fingers laying still
Ideas that have gone away
Inspiration lost

 

Sky is black and lost
Crying forever drip, drip
Like a weaning babe

 

Hearts are turning BLACK
Words spoken can't be undone
We are all alone

 

Undone cannot be
Fixed by satisfication it
the heart can only fix
