September Haiku #3

Double negative
A meeting of sadnesses
Reading each other

Sacred/Profane

You found me
Where the sacred
Meets the profane
Peeled me back
To the bone
And expected me
To stay
Put a blade
To my throat
And made me
Take the blame
For all the lies
You believed
For all the treasures
That you thieved
And now you
Rake my name
Through the dirt
But you're blinkered
So full of shame
And you think that
I'm the one 
Who broke us
But it was you
Who choked us
So take your
Insecurities
And your gossip
Take your
Immaturity
And your toxic
Tongue right back
To before I knew you
I see right through you
You were a playboy
I was a decoy
You found me
Where the sacred
Meets the profane
Peeled me back
To the bone
And expected me
To stay

Danger/Dacryphilia

Mind so sharp
She cuts my eyes
And I leak
A sacrifice for her
Teeth so clever
She cracks my skull
And I bleed
A ballad for her

Dolly

Your mouth says
You want a lover
But your eyes 
They betray you
You want a doll
A marionette
Pre-tenderised
Gaping
Bendable and fit
For eating

September Haiku #2

Bravery and rain
Shadows the change in season
Bare branches catch sun

Mending

Mending myself
Stitches over scars
Over and over
The forgiving skin
The forgotten sins
Remembered 
And regretted

Twelve

We were twelve
We were twelve
We were preconditioned
To live with heaviness
Once is enough
We will not repeat
This unraveling
We were twelve
We were twelve

September Haiku #1

Hazel eyed hunters
Held together by cobwebs
Arteries of faith

Blood/Dreams

Grace dreams of me
Lion hearted
Hunter of spirit
Holding the mic
Held by the crowd
Passing the passion
Grace dreams of me
