Beautiful, you are
Cerulean waters so clear
Capturing my heart
My first haiku!
James Scanlan May 2017
Here I stand
In land so desolate
A desert
That was once something more
Now but a memory
Of love
James Scanlan May 2017
My Mind speaks
Logically
Listing reason after
Reason
But I have
A Deaf Heart
James Scanlan May 2017
I gave my heart
Into the care of another
It was thrown back
In pieces two

A stranger came along
And tried to put it
Together like new
But the slightest of flaws
Broke it even more

No longer caring
I left the pieces
On the floor
For feet to step on

But she picked it up
Piece by piece
And loved each part
Of my broken heart
Until there was born
Something completely new

Time is the Healer
Of all Wounds
Except the Wounds
Caused by Time
Late night thoughts

Heart

Breaking to pieces

Face

Showing it not

But for a lonely  

tear

And a

smile

Small and

sad
James Scanlan May 2017
I came upon a fork in my path
And there was one less traveled than the other

Take the beaten path
That many people can't be wrong
It's best to be safe

Take the path less traveled
Because it is traveled less
Conform to unconformity


I strode straight ahead
Choosing neither path
And to my surprise, I came upon a place
Hidden from prying eyes
And I stayed a long while
Content with my life
Until I traveled once more
To places unknown
