Self in Haiku
The beauty of night
Will protect all the sadness
Daylight exposes
Will protect all the sadness
Daylight exposes

Where?
All is at odds.
Grasping slippery lifelines.
Feels like ropes of jello.
Hiding behind false smiles and words.
i’m fading away- again.
Seeking solace in unhealthy habits.
Wanting joy for all...truly
Inner peace excludes me everywhere.
Breathe.
Take stock.
Thanks for the good.
This is boring.

Shell
i don’t know how to tell anyone.
Frazzled.
This day feels exactly as the previous.
Monotony.
i perform to everyone’s expectations.
Puppet.
The promises and sorry’s and never going to happen again’s.
Contrition.
i believed them over and over. Stupid.
The emptiness behind the words pounds loudly in my head.
Ache.
i wish them to be true.
Fool.
There are no more prayers to pray.
Silence.
i will miss what i’d hoped i had.
????????.
Then, maybe, peace...

The Fights
Round four.
Oooffff!
Another sucker punch from the left, ladies and gents. A terrible punch from nowhere!
She’s on the ground, People!
Ten.
The ref has started the count down.
Nine.
She’s out cold, ladies and gents.
Eight.
No! Wait, she seems to be coming to.
Seven.
I see her eyes fluttering open with a vacant stare behind them.
Six.
The bruising to her heart just starting to be visible.
Five.
Her head is lifting- wait- no her head is...

Brooms
The cauldron is at full boil.
Tea, grape seed and crystal powder infusing nicely.
A pinch of bat wing and dragon’s blood sprinkled lightly, and brewed to perfection.
Hussy thought she’d lure him away. “Hehehe”, evilly cackled the crone.
Zephyr winds have picked up-
excellent trajectory for vertical lift off.
New conical hat, in place and disturbingly charming.
One last ingredient. She’ll never know what took her down.
Foolish woman.
Never learned.
So obviously needy.
How no one see’s...

How quickly
laughing hysterically
can become
crying uncontrollably

Dolefully
The days beauty brought to a close by a glorious sunset.
Amidst the gift of nature’s goodnight-
My thoughts oppressed by cloudy visions.
Conjured memories of a life never realized.
Insanely, passionately in love with you.
Always.
You
never
came.
Now, I am another’s and thoughts of you consume me still.
Crusty erosion ravages my heart.
Conflicted by fantastical desire to leave and never look back
or,
remain............
Amidst the gift of nature’s goodnight-

Crusty erosion ravages my heart.

Adrift
Unmoored
*
lost
*
scared
*
No anchor to steady my vessel
i feign everything
The rocking motion...
i’m sick
The only truth i own is
sadness
and
suspicion
Hoping a return to innocence-
Of what i once thought-
was
Never
Ever
To be again
Dark grey clouds close in-
Please, make the rocking stop! ...
