My tears brim over
I know nothing else to say
I will enter night
A poorly written haiku.
Zoe Mize Feb 2013
Check yourself in, but just for the night.
I know of a creature that sure likes to bite.
His name is well known, but I dare not speak it.
Stay inside or you just might meet him.
And in the glistening night I know you'll hear it.
His voice will call to you and take your spirit.
Come to me, child. Come closer now.
And with no thought you will recieve a mark like no other.
You would not believe that in the darkness you will forget.
You will surrender your heart to the man.
So, when the black of the world falls, don't forget your wake-up call.
Welcome to our hotel...

i know that it's okay
and i can feel that it's alright
but why is it that i am still lost on the bright side

to be honest i like the dark
it's peaceful and kind
and like a phantom once said
all lies in the music of the night

so tell me if i'm wrong
or say it if i'm right
look me in the face and say it in the night

A mark on your chest-
with spiraling strings and flowing ink-
says so much in just the right way.
The tinsle like beads
and the halos of black
tell your story upon your back.
No words are needed,
yet are there if you choose.
I know that they say what you want them to.

That bloom on your arm-
in red and gold-
is opening always and never will close.
The strain of your muscles is easy to see,
and the way you feel comes easy to me.

With that one simple dip
and with one simple touch
your body will forever say too much.
I was looking at a friend's tattoo and this came to me...

Will he drink it?
the poison that he was given
Will he speak to me?
in the voice that holds no emotion
Will he look at me?
with his dead eyes
Why is he so sad?
I know the pill was taken
Why can I not help?
I know I could do something

But it's depression and worse.
His tears keep coming.
He pulls away sometimes.
And others I go unacknowledged.
My hand trembles as badly as his.
His sobs come out quite and fast.
I know he doesn't want me to see.
It makes me hurt.
It makes me cry.
It makes me angry.

But I know the pill was taken.
So will he drink the poison?
Will he never say "I love you" in his kind voice again?

Light the fire.
Please do.
Let the smoke fill your lungs and let you not come back.

Pull the gun from the holster.
Feel free.
Shoot the deer- feel the rule of three.

Cast your line in the pond.
I want to see the sharks.
They'll circle and pull you under.

Walking round the oak
With all eyes on me.
One breath in before the casting.

Earth- ground me
Water- give me wisdom
Fire- give me energy to do what is right
Air- come into me; you are my breath
Spirit- Goddess's voice, bless these children.

The wind is swirling around me.
The voices are calling my name.
I hear young ones crying.
Asking for equality!

Earth- ground me
Water- give me wisdom
Fire- give me energy to do what is right
Air- come into me; you are my breath
Spirit- Goddess's voice, bless these children.

Men are dying.
Children crying.
Women taking the pain.
Lady in the night- taking care of her child.
A father saying last goodbyes.
A mother's death
A child- heaven blessed.
I must do what I can.

Earth- ground me
Water- give me wisdom
Fire- give me energy to do what is right
Air- come into me; you are my breath
Spirit- Goddess's voice, bless these children.

Goddess, come to them...
The world is spiraling down, and we must all do our part in raising it up.
