My swollen left cheek
a round bed of marshmallows
pat pat, pat pat, boing!

swallows saliva
drinks a cup of iced milo
an oasis forms

all that ice a shock
to my newly-formed blood clot;
what is this soreness

Towering concrete
flora and fauna struggle
to find their footing.

Imagine a life
without buildings and structures
mayhem of all sorts.

just like a heartbreak
slowly eating its way in
slow burns fuel haikus

head, body, and tail
for every dark entry
there is an exit.

feelings role-playing
sunny day, depressing night
food, water and sleep.

cold rainy day
thinking about living life
intentionally

the mind, a sponge
soaking up stimuli
I bring into my world.

the heart, a soft pillow
welcoming everyone
even the nasties.

the body, a temple
serving me tirelessly
without expectation.

the soul, an observer
wondering when i’ll come to
my senses.
