If this world should end
And leave me all on my own
I would feel the same
A new day a new haiku
If this world should end
And leave me all on my own
I would feel the same
Tired and restless
As I wonder what is left
Is it afterwards?
Floating through darkness
And every wasted momement
Is filled with regret
Through dirty windows
Low winter sun blinds my eyes
The heart ever dark
Fragmented palace
Fireflies illuminate
An enchanted dream
Sand through my fingers
Our lives slip slowly away
Like rain to the sea
A tree without leaves
A sky without sun or birds
And me without you
As autumn leaves rot
And summer memories fail
So this too will fade
Like an empty shell
Discarded on a bleak beach
Washed up and useless
Twisting and turning
Through holly and hazel leaves
Tightly coiled spring
Driven by harsh winds
Tossing and turning in sleep
Like a stormy sea
Between warm currents
And the cold winter sea spray
Somewhere there is you
Like a dripping tap
Slowly filling me with doubt
Every time I try
Now I am empty
Shouting into the darkness
The whispering light
Morning frost crystals
Slowly growing through the night
Reverting to dew
Now we are complete
Everything in its right place
Now at last we rest
As memories fade
So slowly we drift away
Into the darkness
Sunlight falls between
Branches in the western sky
And the greener grass
Finishing touches
Open up all the cages
A new adventure
Tangled neurons spark
Confusion spreads like woodworm
Cracks start to appear
And after the storm
As the black waters subside
What is left behind?
My different pieces
Scattered to the howling winds
Leave behind a ghost
Cower from the wind
Rattling these steel cages
Howling like a wolf
Firy orange tongues
Devouring all they lick
Digestive enzymes
