March Haiku #8

Swung seven eight time
Sulky soprano section 
Alto in the wings

Date Night

Barefoot library explorations
Silent cups of tea
Pen between the teeth
Denim castaways
Clothed in scribbles
Watched by the one
With the surgeon hands

You Want Me

You want to hate me
You want to hurt me
You want to take me
Away from what I've built
From nothing but
Determination
You want to ruin me
You want to harm me
You want to blind me
From the way you twist
My words around
You want to stop me
Good luck with that

March Haiku #7

Translate your instincts
I want to read you fully
Cover to cover


Disruption

Language is elastic
So what if we
Rewrite the rules
Of love
And what it's 
Meant to taste like

Ghost

He's sewn in
Between these limbs
Under this greasepaint
He lingers
Lets me know
He's still in there
Written in every line
Shading each second
With his colours

March Haiku #6

Salient stories
Littered with fellow feeling
Mined for platinum
