A Glimpse of My Sight in Haiku

Budding new dreamer

Beyond imagination

Artist's beginning

 

Autumn's Falling leaves

Warm scents on cooling breezes

Asleep once again

 

Slumbering shadows

Day's reprieve from darkened worlds

Bright lights reveal us

 

Early dying lights

Evening whispers of delight

The setting sun sleeps

 

We just stop breathing

Oblivion is welcome

Tomorrow still comes

 

Bleeding wrists lie stil

Scarlet letters tell lost tales

Just tired broken words

 

Encouragement sounds

Thoughts of future decisions

Frightening, unsure

 

Hope glimmers faintly

A guiding beacon in the dark

Showing us the way

 

Witness' burden

Guilty conscious gnaws at them

Choose, to tell or not

 

A sheltered judgement

Based on a singular view

Biased and unfair

 

Shattered perspective

The world through the "bad guy's" eyes

Still no different

 

Tired of the pain

Sick of being victimized

Pathetic and weak

 

The clock's ticking beat

Just cold and steady rhythms

A heart's replacement

 

Illness creeps closer

The body begins to fail

Weakened, pathetic

 

Miserable life

One full of sickness and pain

Death gives a reprieve

 

Corruption supreme

Fingers clutching at some dream

Clawing their way up

 

Rattling of chains

Slave to the pleasure of man

Silken chafing cuffs

 

Fought a lost battle

Determined to see it through

Knowing the result

 

Intentions are pure

If not always right

Decidedly true

 

The fickle marksman

His eye strayed by a faint light

A fleeting target

 

Whispered to the leaves

Searching for a lover lost

A mourning wind's song

 

Both lost and given

There is a part of ourselves

In all that we do

 

Warned of times to come

Yet ignorant of the cause

Thus we seek our fate

 

When intelligence,

a life-long goal to strive for,

Is a state of mind

 

The race against time

Always a moment too late

or far too early

 

Uncalled for guilt trips

Means we were willing to use

To gain our martyr

 

Regretting my part

In injuries that were dealt

In the scars we placed

 

Wander hallowed halls

An educated folly

Ignorance is bliss

 

Step by step taken

Straying and forsaken

Sinner's stolen path

 

With dual goodbyes

Two seperate hearts will stop

A single, shared soul

 

Broken foundations

losing the  last of my mind

Craking at the seams

 

With masks and make-up

Life is the main attraction

All the world a stage
