Keep me locked in
Condemn me to my
Joyous utopia
Solitude as my ally
They tell me to stay here
Where I’ll be safe
Within my paradise
I hold the bars of my
Lithium-laced heaven
And cry for an end
To this happy existence

My heart is one
Created out of glass
Exquisitely made
Beautiful yet fragile
It wasn’t supposed to break

But you let it slip
Purple cracks crept around
Its once crystalline surface
As it oozed
Crimson regret

Will someone fill these gaps
Or is there no tourniquet?
I kneel down and pray
A lithium vessel clutched in hand
Begging for an unrealizable salvation

The embrace of the Sun doth make Icarus’ wings melt.
Drip drop, pit pat.
Forgotten dreams, fallen wings
Fading into nothingness as the two embrace
Broken hearts, torn feathers
The tale of the star-crossed

Icarus, bundle of joy
Overflowing with innocence
Soaring through the air
And with him
Freedom and happiness
And the ability to lie

Sun stood. Prideful, strong, bright.
Lonely.
She yearned for another
With whom she could share
Her light and warmth
Her darkness and coldness.

He desired nothing more than the company of another
She desired nothing more than the company of another

So Icarus said to the Sun
Let me stay, I won’t leave you
This place is right where I need to be
And though Sun knew
The embrace of Sun, will make Icarus’ wings melt
But she kept silent, and nodded.

The two were happy for a long while
-Drip drop, pit pat-
so very happy together
-Drip drop, pit pat-
never wanting to let go
-Drip drop, pit pat-

Drip drop, pit pat
Drip
Drop
Pit
Pat
Drip

Waxy tears coating his disappearing surface
Waxy tears lining her marooned surface

The embrace of the Sun doth make Icarus melt.
Drip drop, pit pat.
Forgotten dreams, fallen wings
She faded into nothingness as he melted away
Broken hearts, torn feathers
Never seeing the light of day

Never seeing, the light of day.

Not only is this
A ****** haiku, but I’m still
Gonna **** it up

I miss him
He who could melt away
My solitude
Bringing light and colour
To my monochrome world

But perhaps
The oasis had dried up
Or it was merely a cruel mirage
Conjured up by the cruel puppeteers
And the utopia ended

Still though I miss him
He who froze up my world once more
Restoring my world to its monochrome state
Bringing away with him his joy, his light, his colour
My joy, my light, my colour

The star glows
Shining with all his might
Burning with the fervor
Of a thousand suns

Yet the moon laughs
Effortless pale hue
Illuminating the night
None shall see
This poor star’s light

The star
Dyed by despair
Begins to fall
He falls, he burns, he dies

And yet,
In that moment of limbo
It is he
Who will shine the brightest

Liquid ember liquid ember
burning me up from the inside out
feel the burn rush down my mouth
choking up my eyes and nose
searing my throat with the warmth of heaven
fires of passion burn deep in my stomach
reigniting my hopes and dreams
may this flame reach the pits of my heart
so that it may once again jumpstart the sparks of life
or at least bore a hole so deep
I never have to feel again
