haiku and short poems

I was inspired to write a few poems in haiku, its amazing that in very few words your can say so much. haiku are written in 3 lines with 5 syllables in the first, 7 in the second and 5 in the third.

places you will never go
mars, saturn, venus
the queendom between my thighs
atlantis, kemet...

virgin (haiku)
My mouth will not say
quality o'er quantity
but these walls can talk

Valentine's Day
Months from now, i trust
my heart will race this steady speed
I pray we make it

revolt (haiku)
Che, Huey, Malcolm
yes I have read their bios
but whats your story

fun house mirrors (haiku)
close your eyes slowly
reveal you to the real you
open them, vanish
heaven (haiku)
gold streets, pearly gates
no tears, no stress, no desires
is heaven boring?

wisdom (haiku)
Sage, choices... advice
from my mouth, the pain cuts, GOD!
these teeth came too late
a kiss (haiku)
electric currents
conducted through lips that touch
love, what an event

i kiss to love
if love is to follow
a kiss is to lead
love is a seed
God the Sun, Goddess the water
water us
because we are the trees
let us bloom freely

A kiss pt 2 (not haiku)
breaks a seal
seals a deal
deals a fate
a kiss is a lot of things but never fake
