Eight Haiku Poems by R.I. Károly

 

Eight Haiku Poems

dawn

eyes folded in dreams

opening to the water

falling from the stars

 

overthink

shadow of a doubt

hanging low above our heads

eclipsing the sun

 

june night

moonlight on the shore

falling on my barefoot dreams

wading in the surf

 

wisdom

silence of the crows

feathering in memories

perched upon my years

 

discord

the strings of my heart

play dissonant harmonies

ice cracks in their wake

 

treasure map

follow the secret

constellations on your skin

point me to true north

 

current

lulled by surge and crash

the hands of the changing winds

pull upon my sails

 

lemuria

anemone song

lulling lost souls to respite

dream eternally
