JULIAN QUIJANO
Haiku
1
Haiku rules differ
Giving a lot of freedom
To play around with
3
Only a few days
of resting these old tired eyes
and all shall return!
5
You're doomed and I'm damned
Love is irreversible
We can't turn back now
2
My lips on your skin
Endless possibilities
With no time limit
4
Using lots of words
Clinging on to anything
Just to make you stay
6
Usual business
Factory workers on strike!
Labour continues
7
Pretty bird, fly high
Captivate the morning blues
Don't forget my song
9
Whispers of our love
Titillate the evening sun
Keeping me awake
11
Half my heart away
from the streets we engaged in
has kept you searching
8
Happiness is here!
Blissful fish dance out to sea
Twirling joyfully
10
Stationary trees
with covetous roots begrudge
the wind on their leaves
12
If by the seaside
I am found, know that I have
discovered true peace
13
Tropical forest,
let my blood be your heartbeat
raining forever
15
Mother be gentle
for I'm still learning to run
meaning to return
17
Come, sit by my side
I promise I will listen
or, I'll do my best
14
You must not forget
If I decided to stay,
the choice would be mine
16
Dystopian thoughts
of surrender persist as
I let myself go
18
Lovers we once were
Lovers we soon will become
Again and again
