Haikus

 

Hūr al-Ḥamār

Reeds' whispers linger.
Scrolls are older than writing.
From waters we came.

 

 

LON

 

LHR

Connecting vessels.
Body built over the old one.
Greediest of hearts.

 

LCY

A bottle of eighties.
Thick enough marble boxes.
The genie lives strong.

 

LTN

Titanium knee.
Parts foreign to each other.
The longing sustains.

 

STN

In steel ribs, glass lungs.
Winds from convincingly far.
A breeze of Cambridge.

 

LGW

How large can you grow?
The strength of the youger one.
Never be the first child.

 

SEN

Luggages were packed.
Ad terras incognitas.
Essex is dreaming.

 

 

Blades of grass

Years' handwriting.
Unison of elements.
Transcribing aether.

 

Kebab (18+)

Lamb, seagull, human.
Eat to be eaten anew.
Species united. < br/>

 

Barrel

Memory of wines
to be rinsed from trusty staves.
Drink to refresh long.

 

Paces

Quantified pleasure.
Pushing dream miles, heights to real.
The blood impresses.

 

Kensington morning

Wanton nights stretching.
Tipsy windows yawn shyly.
Dressed columns greet you.

 

Anamnesis

Stirred echo of steps.
We rose. I move. They arrived.
The incessant wind.

 

 

Pebbles

 

Opal

Closed eyed galaxies.
Cover of darkness again.
Its light's just as old.

 

Amber

Shine rounded at sea.
Movements trapped in stubborn gleam.
The sun keeps playing.

 

Flint

Continents to mounds.
Finally, you have risen.
Millions of lives.

 

River Nene

Trifled kings, empires.
Land layered, flowing beyond.
Who measures the time?

 

 

Seashore

Tanned breath of the sand.
Sky wanders beyond the cliffs.
Waves under your skin.

 

 

Mountain Weekend I.

Counting contours, miles.
Ridge, valley carry legs up.
Endless views unframed.

 

 

Mountain Weekend II.

The planned excitement.
Peaks afresh all hours conquered.
Trust'd discovery.
