Abandoned playthings rot in isolation,
You toyed with me and left me for broke.
I’d **** you if I could, but you have disarmed me.
Naked and exposed, you dirtied me with your deviant desires.
Back and forth, I thought we swung higher, until the cherry bump threw me from your chains of love.
Up and down on the teeter totter, faster and harder, my legs broke for you.
I sat in the middle of your merry-go-round, but you spun so fast I could not keep hold of you and landed on splintered wood chips.
Bleeding and scarred, I limped from your playground unwillingly.
Why weren’t you labeled condemned?

Liquid refreshment,
Steaming hot pools of caffeine.
God how I love you.

Hidden in the crowd.
Looking my way, quiet stalk.
Dare I leave alone?

Wide awake, can’t sleep.
Restless turning among sheets.
Sun rising again.

Where my hope resides.
A little mustard seed found.
On my knees, I pray.

Misfire of the brain,
Succumbing to endless pain,
Crushed pills in my hand.

Little poem I wrote.
Dramatic dance of words,
I love you, Haiku.
