Life gave me lemons
Simple as that
Others may make lemonade
Or something like that
But I was hungry
So I ate them

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

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
