Dim Candle

I came to say goodbye.
My mind sailed away.
The world has been a lie.
No white, just black and gray.

Verdade

It was today
I realized
what it really was.

A fathom,
quirky words
ever stretched

as a highway.
Bushes on either side,
masking the reality.

What to do?
I left, I walked,
I stumbled away.

For not one being
should be burdened
with a mislead mind.

What to do?
Who knows, who cares.
Tis a lie, tis my tears.

Haiku For You

Now try and tell me
after my operation
that it was all lies.

Preciously Hidden

A haggard candle
stands erect.
A wick of fire wicked
mischievously dances:
Teasing the shadows,
Seducing the darkness.

My eyes are glassy,
ever filled with
a memory forgotten.
Stare to the hypnotic glow.
Burning away time,
Licking the still night.

Do not smile,
for they might see it.

Confession Unsolved

One jump and
I flew so high
through the air
that I think I'm drunk.

A bed of roses
lay underneath;
yet Oops!
I slipped.

Whistling prayers
tooting up and up
in the steam of
mother's morning coffee.

One thing said:
Don't listen.
It's show time.
For I am the audience.
