some haikus

GatheredMemories.

Photos tell stories

all I have are healing scars.

Long unhappy life.

.KnuckleDragging.
Spoiling squawk, loud

shirtless alpha males compete.

Raging in suns heat.

haikus

.CityPlanning.
Modern scars intrudes
on tiptoes peeking over
Ruins perfect view.

.OnTime.
Train shudders, departs.
like a vibrating fart on
polished wooden floor.

some haikus

.MyDeath.
No escape from waves
slow numb acceptance of death.
Lost soul overboard.

.FencedIn.
Faded scars on arms
acts as a barbed wire fence.
Keeping things in place.

some tankas

.WarmBed.
This broken mattress
sinks low, broken on my side.
Gravitational
roll over towards me, please.
Natural sleeping snuggle.

.WayOut.
Dead branches stratch hard
like a passionate lover.
Lost deep in forest.
Stumbling, exit path found.
scars remind, of this mistake.

never heal but fade

These scars run
from the cause to a result.
A journey I dont
want anyone to have to take.
If I ever get lost,
I have these paths to follow.
Never look back always forward.

haiku

.DarknessUnder.
Coal slag heap reborn
Wildlife park grows, hiding all.
Scarred by industry.

some haikus once more

FollowThePath.
Trees natter above,
like old cheek pinching grannies.
Scared, lost in this wood.

.GloryDays.
Viaduct stands proud,
valley below hurting, in pain.
Still scarred from abuse.

.SoulRot.
Drizzling rain, damp
creeping to the rotting souls,
collapsed valley towns.
