Haiku

Shadows and Corruption

Unchecked thoughts Like creeping shadows Corrupt my heart

The stress placed in me When you took what you wanted Never really dies

I can’t understand Why I write haiku so much I’m doing it wrong

I want to create If I wasn’t so tired I do anyway

It was her he killed But I couldn’t understand Why it wasn’t me

Relaxed kitty Lying on the windowsill Blinks slowly at me

Waiting Inspiration comes Writing

I said I love you To a spiritual friend, A dying patient

TV drones nearby Aching feet finally resting Early alarm set

You didn’t notice When I tried to treat you nice Blinded by your pain
