Haiku Varietal Blend: Fistfuls of the ghosts
35
I’m starting to lose
What little patience I have
How much longer?
15
It often eludes
These old eyes have grown weary
I need forgiveness
54
Life beyond breakup
Is desolate and hostile
No love can grow there
55
With such ease you leave
Like a withering violet
I transform, I die
56
I breathe this pale air
Gasping my lungs clamor
For you, for you. You,
47
I can feel nothing
My taste buds are like dead leaves
No light do I see
45
Is she serious?
When will I finally learn?
Oh my trust fades
33
An empty bed waits
An empty room clamors
An empty heart sighs
64
I doubt if I could
Or that I’d really want to
I now know better
70
I am afraid
Of trusting like I once did
Am I ready?
65
I starve for embrace
I’m very low on love
God ****** to hell
34
Is it tomorrow?
Can it be the day after?
Or maybe never.
72
Tearful agony
Replaces where once love was
Thoughts of her are thorns
73
My belly fills up
With resentment and anger
See it in my eyes
31
She thus eludes me
Almost by divine design
I keep searching
69
As usual
The choices that I make
***** in my face
74
Do not judge this book
For the pages have been torn
Just as my heart has
75
Faint now is
The reason to smile and laugh
I pray you, help
76
Scolding water
Is what I feel when couples
Hold hands before me
77
How I hate
That I didn’t hold
And kiss you more
78
I’m tired
This burden pulls
Can’t hold on
79
A blank
Look, is my only
Souvenir, why?
80
It was my fault
I admit it, so
Much guilt
81
Distant
That place; now
Appears
32
Burned in my eyelids
Are the stinging images
That torments my dreams
66
I want to know if
This drought can be over
Its killing me
67
Dare I reason
With this smoldering fire
That will not go out?
16
Brilliantly hurt
My honor dangles, swaying
She swings, for the ****
13*
Let the seas dry out
And the birds lose their songs
True love, come, be mine
