I for Imayo
I often struggle with words,
they never find me
Like poems and poets do,
metaphors divine
I crave for flawless syntax,
prose of perfection
Unmatched vocabulary,
To write what I feel

The Imayo is another very interesting Japanese form, originally written to be sung. These poems originated as folk songs and over time were embraced by the royalty.
An Imayo is a 4-line poem with 12 syllables in each line. There is a pause between the 7th syllable in each line (also known as a caesura in poetic terms). So every line in this poem is divided into a 7-5 syllable splits. These 7/5 syllable splits might remind you of similar patterns found in other Japanese forms like haiku, senryu and tanka. An Imayo can be written for any theme.
Another interesting thing about this form is that if you separate all the 7 syllable parts and all the 5 syllable parts, you get two different poems.

The love of a platform
The train ain't staying
But the platform's always here.
Everlasting love.

One Wish
I look hollow to the cyber halo emitted from
The sign that signals one to cross
I wonder as my heart beats in my chest
How many lives were lost in a blink from
Blue
To green
To violent red
Spinning carousels in kaleidoscopes
Of vertigo with enough force to push across the atlantic
And break the wings off a human angel
It's so cruel how one choice and it could be fatal
In the awareness
All that's spatial
Are we able to push past a nightmare
Creeping breathing down our neck
Reminding us living is eventually fatal
What is it that is left
The echo of a breath distinguished by the suffocating sunset And it's definitive silence
Snatch our existential comfort from
It's cradle
To show us what we can really do
And show us that we're able

Twists
I kiss the moonlight's bitter taste
As it turns it's nose up to the sunlight's blaze
I don't like it's self arrangement it's
Not congruent with my temperament
It's intrusive but I bear it better when I'm alone
And I'm in complete command of my own
Movement
It's subtle how I do it
I do move it as I never seem to lose it
How is anyone's opinion going to move it
Unless I leave it open to interpretation
Then you can do it as if I'd pretend I'd ever
Let the circumstances wither me to dust
I'm a necromancer the way I resurrect my reason never commiting treason for any reason
I don't need to gain from lowering my morals
I don't think I can do quarrels that are insignificant
I'm not going back to being indifferent
Independent
I am different
My words won't change
But my opinions are never going to wax or wane
My emotions i create above the law of physics I recreate the metaphysics
With florets of my catalyst of a life with bliss
I never fail to aim
Even when I miss
I get back on my feet
We all have the ability to empower ourselves
If we learn to love the light and the dark
Shadow
We are immense
Different
We must not wallow in half submerged
Waters
Consciousness must never falter I promise
Time heals
It's divine you'll feel it's kiss
Heal you I promise you to your
Bones it will weld wounds because it's different
The capacity we have to feel if we let ourselves detail

Iridescence finds
a home in night black feathers;
Crows bask in the sun.

A haiku about sadness
Eyes do not form rain
Without the scorching sunlight.
It once helped it form.

Day 8 of #napowrimo
Haiku is a Japanese form of Poetry which now has become widely popular, specially among the English poets. The traditional Japanese form is a 17 syllable poem which has three lines with the first and the last line each having 5 syllables and the 2nd line carrying 7 syllables.
There has been a lot of debate on whether to follow the 5-7-5 structure in English Haikus or not. There are obviously inherent differences in both the languages (Japanese and English) and hence some poets label it as a ‘traditional misunderstanding’ to carry the 5-7-5 form in English. So, may be it is better to just work with the short, concise wording and a reference to nature; the elements of a traditional Haiku. Well, since poets are the only governing bodies of their poems, we can do pretty much what we want with our poems.

A candle burnt bright
vivacious night in fumes
Morning dew is served -
I'm trying to learn
how to embrace the silence
in chaotic times.

One Gasp
Two separate waves
Collide when they
Are unified
Combines in 2 equal lines
At the center of a divide
No need to think twice
Tonight feeling it will suffice
You heard me right
Believe me this is urgent
I have you in my sight
I'll awaken you to fight
Sleep with my insight
Like smoke stay woke
I compelled you
I spelled you like sentence
I expelled you
Here I sentence you to sentiments and
Feed the earth and free the herd
Of ignorance
Here's the crown from my garden
Turned to stone
I harden
I'm hungry
I am starving
I am catharsis
I'm burning I am incense
That will condense
My prophecies won't invent words where
They are not needed
Figure me out
Read me like you read the thesis
A religion that oozes into my speechless
Purpose that It is so evident you could time it
Put me on private
Put my phone on silent my lack of lacking
Is so inviting
Smiling with a face brightened
So enticement is exactly what you thought
I can read your silence in between your coy
Defiance
Hush
"Silence*
Feel my eros in scorpio
The serpent's eyes that peer into violence
And make it out to the other side of
Poseidon's Trident
An environment out of control
Thwarted justice with corruption
He knew what he's inciting
But forget all the choices
I'm exactly who you invited
When you fuse a muse with an experiential perfume
An allure
This is not a copy
I aim
I'm viscous when I'm forced to
Skip off into verse after verse when
I ripped my shirt off and carved into
It words so the night of summer could obscure I can't stop their is no cure
But I feel myself and transform my pain with burnt disdain I seethe hate
I find it dirty and perverse
The moral thing to do is now obscured
Have i just transformed or metamorphosis
from light to dark
You can set me apart
Met me at the memory of a melody
Fleeting like a bumblebee
It's honey is not sweet enough
To stop me with trust
You can't drop me while you drop dust
You're the light at the point of It's
Exalting time to move us with a rush
A whisper of a touch
I move my body like I tattooed it with the congruence in my movement when I do it
I am moving fusing fuming parasitic service that threatens you and murders you with lust and diamond dust
Intoxicated by your drums
Heartbeats that thump like the urging of wanting one convergence
Not insurgency
At the peak of my streets echo in my sirens
Leak insight out of my third iris
Enticement
Confinement

In the Making
I will not risk breaking
This line I'm making
In time the insight
And the energy
I'm at the center of my despair
Please bring me justice
Courage
And rip my flesh to pieces
Because my essence will roll in a thick smoke
Billowing as it creeps across the sand
As it erodes my skin
My beaches
This is the ghost that you woke
Why do you hurt the one you love the most?
I don't know
Please talk to me and let me know
Please love me or hate me
Or just release me and let me go -

Crops, Crows, and Crickets Chirping
Crops that hasten rumours that like fire
Spread like disease killing us in pairs of three
It won't stop until we cease to breathe
I'm not sure this time that death will leave
It multiplies and breeds like infested fleas
Rats are left for the Crows to oppose as they
Look down on a race dethroned
No longer do we learn to pay off the debt we owe
And into the collective consciousness
Where you must be a trickle of a life force
An uneven flow will make the river basin choke
As the words of this poem are none which would benefit you if you spoke
Under night's elusive cloak the alley in the
City's strep throat easing thirst and failing to stay afloat
I guess money can't be a moat to keep death. From lessoning the daylight's load
A story simple settles where the complexities unfold in-between the creases the truth roams

Faded Ink and Bloody Bathroom Sinks
I look into the mirror
I notice my interior reflecting
Intensely in the vast immensity
Of my past years in one piercing
Gaze
Memories rising like smoke
As my heart chokes and time
Creeps into the next phase
While it decays human bodies
A field of flesh
For the world to graze on
While the entirety of pain reverberates
With the lengthened days
And the invertebrate curse
That resonates in our thoughts
Eating at our brain
We go insane
We wax
We wane
We were once different
Never again to ignorant the stain
With remain leaving us the same
To always change
In constant speed
In sync without noticing how strange
It is to look into the glass
Of truth
And smash superficiality
As it tries to dilute the integrity
Of humanity and it's truth
Our ability to compute
Is not minute
These lines they whisper
Crisper clearer lines to you
As the shadows drew their swords
I die for you
For me
For all the light and all the dark
So that it may fuse
And only after knowing the dynamics
Can we choose
Between being romantic
And being organic can we find clues
It scares people because as we draw closer to the earth
We see it's iridescent hues
And the illusion of the sky's blues

Whispers
As the fog creeps in,
Ominous whispers followed.
Deafening silence.

Obsessed
My hearts rapid beats
Are cause by your gentle smile
My lovely angel
I am filled with joy
When you greet me with your soul
I am a statue
When I walk by you
The aroma you put off
Manipulates me
I've been watching you
I can't take my eyes off you
You're so beautiful
I took your photo
Every time you was sleeping
Resisting to kiss
I saw you're "boyfriend"
We had a little Scuffle
Our issues "resolved"
I cut off your hair
Just to have a piece of you
You slept next to me
I need to have you
I am nothing without you
You make me complete
....
You make me complete...
....
...You know I love you
The ties are to protect you
From the outside world
They won't find us here
We can finally live life
...You love me don't you?

Finally back to square one
People changed
Choice changed
Priorities changed
I never changed...
Yet they moved on
With a pain unhealed -
Life was painted on
wet earth, washed clean by the rains.
Life was a fresco.
