Haiku

Time does not heal wounds,
And life just gives you new ones,
As a distraction.

Your chains don't scare me,
My scars from you are medals,
For courage of truth.

No one knows your pain,
Only the night is witness,
To your loneliness.

Torn from my lover,
You now preach heaven to me,
While I live in hell.

A dingy motel,
Cigarettes but no matches,
I pour a stiff drink.

Nothing stays the same,
Not love nor life nor friendship,
They strengthen or die.

So when woe is kith,
And pain is kin, then you know,
You have been in love.

Haiku words vanish,
Like the lonely traveller,
To be forgotten.

Deep into the night,
A train sounds in the distance,
I hold you closer.

Snow falling softly,
I'm alone for the first time,
I don't know myself.

i feel unsettled
drifting away slowly i
wish there was more time

Shatter the mirror,
Of those who wish to see you,
In their reflection.

I thought kith and kin,
Were bound strong by blood and oaths,
But snakes will be snakes.

A glass of red wine,
Lady in a tight blue dress,
My cheeks blushing pink.

You tried to break me,
But who can break a diamond,
That comes from the rough.

Buildings where trees were,
Car horns blare over song birds,
I miss the old days.

Give me no respite,
If I am wrong about you,
And your cheating heart.
