"Live and let live" is the words that they criedSeemed good and so weAll cheered and agreedAnd once done we all went back inside.But now that I look how is it… And then the days passed and then turned into weeksThe cry went out onceThen again all those monthsAnd with each shout calls around us … Continue reading Live and Let Live

Atlas’ Weight
I put this thing together a while back, and finally got around to coming back and cleaning it up enough to be posted recently. They called you 'Atlas' long agoFor all the maps you knewFrom sea and stars to ancient talesThey all would come to you And though through time the others learnedThey grew both … Continue reading Atlas’ Weight
A Bitter Taste

Noise
A cacophony in my ears Sounds from every angle That others don’t seem to hear All the voices clatter, ring around Bounce up inside my head The outside world a wave of sound I feel the tingles tumble Ring down my arms and neck Shaking, twitching back with every rumble Eyes straight forward Stay plugged … Continue reading Noise
Quiet Sleep
Quiet is the night A picture perfect evening Close your eyes and sleep
Oops…
All broken apart I stare at all the pieces My haiku’s a mess
Inside
Look inside your heart Do you find a burning fire? Do you find some cooling coals The remnants of your funeral pyre? Look inside your soul Do you find an empty shell? Perhaps an icy cavern That rattles like a bell. Look inside your mind Does your sight burn bright and true? Remember what you … Continue reading Inside
