Death (Haiku)

We die every night
Fortunately, we wake up,
Yawn, and say, "morning!"*

Envy... (5w)

Turned
My friends
To fiends!*

Trojan Horse

By day she was,
A bouquet of red roses
Sultry with honey
Smelling of divine ambrosia
Giving more than I dreamed...

By night she was,
A bouquet of dead roses
Covered in cobweb
Smelling of poison and death
Taking more than she gave...*

Beware of such "gifts"

Conviction

His Sun of righteousness
Beams into my ***** secrets
Revealing rotten intentions
Orchestrated by self will and hatred

Leaving me ashamed of my filth,
Aware of my guilt,
Conscious of my void,
Convicted of my sin!*

Broken!

With blistered hearts
We seek solace
In hands of strangers
Dehydrated...
By the heat of our own lusts
Emotions, wild and bizarre
Making our eyes sweat!

Sentimental decisions
Backed with illogical logic
Mesmerized by the unknown
Anything to **** the pain
Drugs, alcohol, women,
Daredevil adventures
Especially on a cold night.

One minute in love
The next second in hate
The vicissitudes of emotions
Uncontrolled and sporadic
With eccentric rhythms and rhymes
Crushing whatever's left
Of already broken hearts!*

Brokenness

Burning my will
In His fire of obedience
Drowning my woe
In cold drops of His blood!

Hanging gleefully
On acquiescent cross
Pleasures, pride and passions
Lost in eternal holocaust...*

I'm sorry... (Not a Poem)

Sometimes...
I lack the inspiration to write

Sometimes...
I want to sit back and,
rather than put pen to paper

I just want to read...
and enjoy the beautiful gems
on display here on HP

But the problem is...
there are too many gems
so many, I fear I won't grasp all
afraid I'd miss out on some,
some of the best ones.

So here goes...
If time passes and
I dont come by your world
its not because I don't care
neither because I'm too busy.

Sometimes I'm just overwhelmed!
So please forgive me
in advance...

I'm sorry

For some unidentified reasons I'm just not in the mood to write today
I hope it goes away soon.
