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
