But won't ever be dulled by

Acceptance (Haiku #19)

I'm just a fool who
Would travel with monsters to
Learn to tame the beasts

The compelling urge to leave
Where I feel welcome

Our stars light the sky
In the gathering dark of
A lonely city

Hope (Haiku #16)
Mysidian Bard Oct 2016
My candle bearer
Carry the light of gods love
Out into this world
Once, when people were pure and innocent, there was a box that they were told never to open. However, man opened it anyways and unleashed all the evils unto the world. Envy... greed... pride... violence... control... All that was left in the box was a single ray of light: Hope. We now confront those evils... And you are that last ray of light, our only hope.

Ghost (Haiku #15)
Mysidian Bard Sep 2016
The pain is long gone
But this feeling lingers on
Why do you haunt me?
Mysidian Bard Sep 2016
I've seen the people
They have tombstones in their eyes
Dying to get high

Sightless (Haiku #13)
Mysidian Bard Sep 2016
And though she was blind
Her eyes shined with inner light
And love beyond words
I met a blind woman today and when she looked into my eyes I saw something incredibly profound that I still cannot explain. This haiku is my best attempt to put that feeling into words.

Cannot fill these empty arms
Pride can't keep me warm

Destiny (Haiku #11)
Mysidian Bard Sep 2016
Deep down inside me
There's a yearning undefined
A role not yet served
Mysidian Bard Sep 2016
With each passing glance
We're all looking for someone
Behind strangers eyes

Eden (Haiku #9)
Mysidian Bard Sep 2016
I'm the cold hard ground
But she is the gentle rain
That makes flowers grow

Be here now
Mysidian Bard Sep 2016
The sun don't seem bright today
And there's clouds in the sky

You're just not yourself today
But there's no reason why

You're talking
Crazy
Words in disguise

They see you
Struggling
Hiding your eyes

You say it's in self defense
You tell yourself lies

When you hurt the ones around you
You're not the one who cries

You turn to
Anyone
You can cling to for a day

Gripping
But slipping
On the ground in your way

So be here now
Someway, somehow
We won't be here again

I promise you
When this is through
I'll still be here my friend

Until the end

Like a River (Haiku #8)

Dancing to the sea
The river will cease to be
But the sea grows strong

Black Swan
Mysidian Bard Sep 2016
She took the part
That broke her heart
And soon would take her life

But the pirouettes
Help her forget
She's dancing on a knife

Torn
Mysidian Bard Sep 2016
You always give me love
But I'm hostile towards you

You always trust in me
But I'm clueless what to do

You tell everyone I'm a gentleman
But I've never held the door

You tell everyone I'm a hero
But I've never been to war

You say I make you happy
But I only see you frown

You say I lift you up
But I only let you down

You think that I'm a man
But a man I'll never be

Why do you think I'm always scared
When you believe in me?

Chasing Shadows (Haiku #7)

Chasing shadows in the night
Pretending they're real

Growth (Haiku #5)

You used to love me
But I never used to love
Who I used to be

Intrepid (Haiku #4)
Mysidian Bard Sep 2016
These feelings of love
Make us throw off contentment
To find something more

May the Circle
Mysidian Bard Sep 2016
Though my hands no longer hold
Your tender hands as years unfold
Though my hands have gone cold

Though my lips no longer speak
Whisper gently, kiss your cheek
Though no more words my lips to speak

Theres an echo out on the air
Of words our voices never shared

May the circle
Carry your soul away
Far from the skies of grey
And though we part

Through the circle
We may have reached the end
But love will return again
Into your heart

Though we thought the storm would pass
We hid inside our house of glass
Casting stones at each others past

Cracks and leaks the rain got in
Dousing flames of hearts within
Cold drops clinging to our skin

The things that we thought forever gone
May warm us in the light of dawn

May the circle
Carry your soul away
Far from the skies of grey
And though we part

Through the circle
We may have reached the end
But love will return again
Into your heart

May the circle
Never become a chain
And let us return again
Back to the start

How could we ever find home

Shine (Haiku #2)

Belong
Mysidian Bard Aug 2016
Under stars
With eyes that brightly shine
I was yours
And you were mine

Summer days
That never seemed to end
Were numbered days
Too few to spend

When the heart breaks
When the soul aches
When the love is gone

Then where do we belong?

The way to love
A path we couldn't find
A twisted maze
Too tangled to unwind

But our waves found
Each others empty shores
Footprints marked
Once lonely bedroom floors

When the heart breaks
When the soul aches
When the love is gone

Then where do we belong?

Under stars
With eyes that brightly shine
I was yours
And you were mine

One more night
We only just pretend
That autumns breeze
Won't mean the summers end

Whatever it takes
Whatever fate makes
If we just hang on

I'll stand at hell's gate
Carry the weight
If we just stay strong

And if the heart breaks
If the soul aches
If the love is gone

Tell me where do we belong?

Let's Roll On
Mysidian Bard Aug 2016
Let's roll on like gypsies fly
Pack our things and say goodbye
Time is short so lets make haste
Let's roll on without a trace

Let's roll on across the plains
Making love and daisy chains
See the world as it was meant to be
Let's roll on until we're free

In our lifetimes
We walk such a thin line
We have such a short time
Before we are gone
Let's roll on

Lets roll on across the sands
Travel to a distant land
Settle down and plant a tree
See what it will grow to be

In our lifetimes
We walk such a thin line
We have such a short time
Before we are gone
Let's roll on

Let's roll on a simple prayer
On the wind and through the air
And when we're tired and hopes are meek
May we find the lives we seek

In our lifetimes
We walk such a thin line
We have such a short time
Before we are gone

If there's reason
To live through the heartaches
To learn from the mistakes
And see the next dawn
Let's roll on

Follow the Wind
Mysidian Bard Jun 2016
My friend the giant sleeps in a field
where dreams, posies and grass grow

The wind gusts blow over him and pass through
down to the meadow from which the water flows

From meadow to lake, from lake to sea
the wind and water walk by and by

Tidal forces drive one to drive another
by an eternal force that never dies

Through night and day all over the world
from skyscrapers to farmers hay

Follow the wind on it's endless flight
back to where the giant lay

Insight
Mysidian Bard Jun 2016
Falling softly through the sky
as clouds and tears and lives drift by
all that was and all that is
and all that's mine and all that's his

but I'd still choose you
even when you don't choose me
even though I know
that we can't be

I thought my eyes could make you see.

Sailing deep beneath the waves
the light twists outwards and concave
a clear reflection and a stain
of all my love and all my pain

but I'd still choose you
even when you don't choose me
even though I know that we

that we can't be

I thought my eyes would make you see.

Sleepers Collide
Mysidian Bard Jun 2016
Do not disturb the sleepers,
let be the dreams they make.
Surfing in the slumber
is like trying to catch a wake.

The nightcrawlers will **** their brains
until there is no more to be had.
The defenders stand by;
tall, strong, armor clad.

Soon they engage in battle,
a spectacle for space and time.
To the victor go the spoils,
and untainted mind.

— The End —
