Life sucks people suck
Let's end it all with a bang
But for a good time

trust until you can't
living in suspicion is
not really much fun

Surviving is nice
Warms the cockles of your heart
Two more grams maybe

Narcissist guess so
I loved you uncondition

Whispering winds hide
night shadows eluding light

Cold white washed facade
All that glitters is not gold
Gilded age charade

Hate as in heaven
Godlike darkness your old friend
Promise come again

When the goings rough
Do it refresh your wardrobe
Ode to joy new stuff

wanna make a post
you complain no politics
stop being so pissy.

Woke by licked eyelids
with a purr so loud and clear
miss my cat, my friend

Man's best friend is dog
you were my one and only
miss you all the time

When life gets you down
Crunchy snacks with fizzy drinks
Pizza pizza pie

Post by **IndelibleDotInk** » Thu Apr 29, 2021 7:09 pm

Papa John's now has
a stuffed crust pie to exceed
old limitations

No more supporting
that old greasy Pizza Hut
might miss Dominos

At my old house, there
was a pizza man who wore
white socks pulled up high

till death do us part
murdered has been, the spirit
that would be good luck

Post by **IndelibleDotInk** » Sat May 08, 2021 5:17 am

like burned in a fire
life froze my cold heart over
see your bouncy tail

those times we had sex
no, not that time, the good ones,
we used protection

broke as a joker
if I won the lottery
TFH for all

you are my mom's cat
know you miss your bro and sis
starting to bloom, us

recipient of
all your excess affections
both on the rebound

i'm homeless despite
this roof it doesn't shelter
us from evil men

I want to go back.

Buy myself back whole
In dreams, a poet redux
Pain swamps me: stranger

I am, I was, did
Bloom in lyrical beauty
Infinite field: yes

Call my angels home
Song my poem bone prayer
Gift me light and tree

Post by **IndelibleDotInk** » Sun May 30, 2021 8:48 pm

rock around the clock
I thought I could be a star
finding heat and pain

blistering yet here
a strong salve to cool me off,
intimate cellmate

comatose before
struggling with all life's sorrow
staggering, crawling

slow memories fade
situations on repeat,
the burdens don't die

I print on paper,
how many syllables will
jump onto my screen

as the keys click clack
lonely cat is now my friend
second time meow

Gotta be honest
I like life in small doses
Something anyway

many different paths
for sure this was right i thought
the right thing was wrong

Our earthly pleasures
Broken down and embellished
The dragon is us

Let me give this a shot!

8 a.m. - a breeze,
greying skies, impending rain...
I'll go back to sleep.

I recently played an RPG (Dragon Quest XI!) and there's a village where everyone speaks solely in haiku. That must have been fun for the localization team.

Deserted minds weep
Cerebral tumbleweeds dance
In the pouring rain

Cat struggles.....

Two trees for my cat
Yet she has not used either.
She prefers the floor.

I'll give it one more
shot right through the heart bullet
to the head again

Forgotten corner
Minstrels and poets welcome

Love and sex, missing
try to find the truth in it
a futile notion

Post by **chariotsoul** » Sat Jul 03, 2021 2:32 am

The quest is over now
I met my match in your eyes
Can I go home yet?

Where did you go now?
I struggle to find your shores
Please wash over me

I find my compass
hiding beneath this sorrow
When will I point north?

Tell me the truth for
once, I finally feel you
crumble beneath me

Fire away at me,
Never thought I’d think again..
Together we drown

(love)

Stranded in my pain
I crawled to the finish line
The day I met Kratom

Wise words ring forever
‘Boundless bounty’ says Shakespeare
Our love sinks that deep

Power and money
Not your love or good will
Sadly the earth spins

Wearing bitterness
like a pall on tense shoulders
singes like wildfire.

"Rest; release yourself
from the burden of anger
and you will be free"

Will the burning cease
with the balm of forgiveness
or will it hurt worse?

The tree whose branches
spread furthest outward will be
the first to catch flame...

Man, how many haiku can you string together before it just becomes a longform poem? Haha.

Orange eyes in the trees
Suddenly, they spot movement -
Noiseless talons strike

Miracles and chimeras
Vital lies of life
