Haiku Series #57

To feel the sunlight
Enfolding all around me
Feels almost like home

It breaks for no one

It collapses all around me
The weight of it all

Your words haunt me still
Those nights are all I have left
Stolen memories

Haiku Series #52

I have to purge you
Remove the thoughts that plague me
You have to let me

No escaping it

Yet you were always there
But it's still not time

In these infinite circles
They don't lead to you

Long before I met you

Why do we do this?
There is no way to fix us
Please just walk away

How so much can change

Being neither here nor there
Somewhere in-between

Horizon never ending
Far away from home

Broke me from my reverie
I cannot go back

Haiku Series #38

I watch the smoke swirl
Outlining you in its haze
But you are not there

See the rest of the Haiku Series

One day at a time

I always hear the whispers
invading my thoughts
Breaking down my resolve
To an inch of my sanity
The way it beckons
stirring memories
Which then intertwine
with harsh realities
And I remember why
I walked away that night
That's the moment
I have to catch my breath
Chanting mantras
while I break into a sweat
I never knew you, did I?
That's the sad, simple truth
lodged in my throat
It dampers the whispers
into a bearable white noise
Day 41, check

My solace, my gravity
You are home to me

This sweet serenade,
I thought was calling to me,
was laced in venom

Lose focus of everything
It pulls me under

Reminds me I'm still here
Cannot fade away

Illuminating!
Closing my eyes doesn't help
I still see you there

See the rest of the Haiku Series

Home to me

You are my anchor
My solace, my gravity
You are home to me

Wherever you are
I still carry you with me
Always in my heart

I cannot let go
The pieces of you and me
It's all I have left

I am at my best
Because you see that in me
You are home to me

Haiku Series #31

No more words to say
Yes, I would have followed you
But it's far too late

My creaseless pillow
It calls to me, sings sweetly
But I find no peace

The fact that I cannot breath
That I'm without you

You fill every empty space
Surrounded by love

Take care, I'm coming for blood
When you least expect
