I smell the work in his three piece suit,
I see beneath the driver's cap, his hair let loose,
I spot the double knot on his wingtip boots,
I can picture the wooden twig underneath his tooth,
I hear the dusty engine in his shiny new coupe,
But all you take is flash,
Not knowing he used to be just liked you.

till the flame burns down and flickers at last,
till the wick burns down and turns to ash,
till the scent leaves and there is no more wax,
i will continue loving you.

I've never known love
But you look like the type to cue a girl in
With the right aim
You could have me in your pocket.

her eyes are a catalyst for the weak
she smiles while they weap
only trials stretch her beak
as she comes full circle
showing you, she too
is incomplete.

notoriety has given me nothing but whispers
whispers,
when combined with coo's of birds,
line the wires that lie above me.

they say you and i are the exact same.
i think we are different
from two different worlds
with all different words
you, infamous
i, unfamous
but, with such visible similarities
how can one tell how you and i contrast?

devils dance as if
their lips were never kissed,
so sad it's near bliss.
haven't written a haiku in a while!
