The mind of a serial killer
In the dark recesses of a twisted mind,
A realm where horrors intertwine,
Lurks the thoughts of a serial killer,
A sinister urge to slice and dice, thriller.
In shadows cast by a moon's pale glow,
Whispers echo, secrets start to flow,
A macabre dance of madness and pain,
A twisted desire, a darkened strain.
Each thought a razor, sharp and cold,
A symphony of chaos, stories untold,
The mind, a labyrinth of twisted desires,
Where innocent lives fuel wicked fires.
The heart beats faster with every plan,
To satisfy...
A realm where horrors intertwine,

A twisted desire, a darkened strain.
Each thought a razor, sharp and cold,
A symphony of chaos, stories untold,
The mind, a labyrinth of twisted desires,
Where innocent lives fuel wicked fires.
The heart beats faster with every plan,

Then and Now
In the days of yore, the 60s and 70s,
Life danced to a tune, more sensible, carefree.
A world filled with moments, simplicity's grace,
Where hearts sought connection, at a slower pace.
Oh, the rhythm of life, with a gentle sway,
When conversations bloomed, face-to-face each day.
No screens to distract, just souls in conversation,
Engaging in dialogue, fostering relation.
People held hands, strolling down the street,
A sense of community, where strangers would meet.
In the parks, laughter echoed through the air,
Children played...
Life danced to a tune, more sensible, carefree.

No screens to distract, just souls in conversation,
Engaging in dialogue, fostering relation.
People held hands, strolling down the street,
A sense of community, where strangers would meet.
In the parks, laughter echoed through the air,
Children played...

Love - A Temporary form of insanity.
In the realm of hearts, a tale we weave,
Of love's embrace, where reason takes leave.
For love, dear friend, is a peculiar thing,
A temporary form of insanity it does bring.
When struck by Cupid's arrow so fair,
The mind descends into a frenzied affair.
Logic and caution swiftly retreat,
Leaving emotions untamed, bittersweet.
Oh, love, you trickster with your fleeting charms,
You dazzle and blind, leaving scars on our arms.
In your presence, sanity fades away,
Leaving us adrift, in passion's sway.
We lose ourselves...
Of love's embrace, where reason takes leave.
For love, dear friend, is a peculiar thing,
A temporary form of insanity it does bring.
When struck by Cupid's arrow so fair,
The mind descends into a frenzied affair.
Logic and caution swiftly retreat,
Leaving emotions untamed, bittersweet.
Oh, love, you trickster with your fleeting charms,
You dazzle and blind, leaving scars on our arms.
In your presence, sanity fades away,
Leaving us adrift, in passion's sway.
We lose ourselves...

Death is part of Life
Embrace life's fleeting breath,
Death's gentle kiss, serene.
In cycles, we find peace.
Death's gentle kiss, serene.

Clarity
Tearful eyes, no vision!
Lost in hazy depths I dwell,
Seeking clarity.

Seeking clarity.

Haiku Pond
In Haiku Pond's calm,
Nature whispers its secrets,
Peaceful thoughts respond.

Young men - why Us?
In the darkest realm where battles rage,
Young men tread on history's stage.
They march with courage, hearts afire,
For causes they may not desire.
The drums of war resound so loud,
As they advance through a smoke-filled shroud.
Their steps are swift, their spirits high,
With dreams of victory in their eye.
But who are they, these young and brave?
Who march to meet an early grave?
They're sons of fathers, brothers, friends,
Whose lives on war's altar now depend.
For older men with beliefs so strong,
Convince...

Assassin
Silent shadow glides,
Stealthy steps in dark embrace,
Death's whisper, swift end.
Stealthy steps in dark embrace,
Death's whisper, swift end.

How do you work?
In the realm of toil and strife,
There exists a question rife,
Working hard or hardly working,
A pondering thought, constantly lurking.
Some embrace the grind each day,
With sweat and tears, they pave their way,
Their spirits soaring, ambitions high,
To reach their goals, they tirelessly try.
They wake up early, before the dawn,
Ready to face the challenges spawned,
Through sweat-soaked shirts and tired eyes,
They conquer obstacles, reaching the skies.
But there are those who take a different view,
Finding ways...

Giant's Quest for Love
In ancient tales of lore, a giant strides,
A force of nature, mighty and untamed,
His footsteps shake the earth where he resides,
A colossus whose presence can't be named.
He towers above all with a fearsome grace,
A titan born from legends and from dreams,
His shadow stretches far, no time nor space
Can hold him back, for he surpasses schemes.
With each colossal step, the ground will quake,
The mountains tremble, and the oceans roar,
His power, like a tempest, knows no break,
As he commands the elements to soar.
...

Face Saving - Haiku
Saving face, we hide,
Masks of pride worn, truth obscured,
Silent battles fought.
Masks of pride worn, truth obscured,
Silent battles fought.

A Fathers Gift
In a world of dreams and magic,
There shines a light so bright.
A precious soul, full of wonder,
My dear daughter, Katiebug, delight.
With eyes that twinkle like the stars,
And a smile that warms my heart,
You bring joy to every moment,
From the very start.
Katiebug, my little butterfly,
You flutter through each day,
Spreading love and laughter,
In your own unique way.
Your spirit dances with the wind,
As you chase your dreams so high.
I’ll be there to cheer you on,
As you soar across the sky.
