A Collection of Haikus

Sublime
Water rushes like 
Millions of sparkling 
Diamonds around me 

Perpetual
Everlasting love 
Existing only in dreams 
I wish it were real 

Extort
The words feel like knives
Slashing already open wounds
Just for your dumb love

Reverence 
I look to the sky 
And time seems to halt I breathe 
Flooded with sublime 

Trifle
You sit on a throne 
An invisible throne and
We all bow down low 

Sanctity
I flew to the clouds
And wings sprouted from my back
I am above all 

Blithe
You wish that I cared
More than I already do 
But I really don’t 

Kindred
You are like a tree
With many branches and leafs 
That extends so long 

Admonish
You had warned me not
To fall so deeply in love
I didn’t listen 

Decorum
You are in the sun
And get water once a day
Don’t die on me now

  • Mother to Child

    From the day you were born I loved you unconditionally. 

    I loved you every second, of every minute, of every day. 

    When you were born, I was reborn alongside you. 

     

  • Lake

    Fall

    You are still, but the bright trees around you shake. 

    Colored leaves fall onto your surface.

    The wind howls, but you are calm. 

  • One: A Tale of Love

    I never realized

    There was a big difference between

    Being in love

    And loving someone.

    Not until you came along.

     

    I’ve come up with an idea.

    I call it

    The hole of love.
