1
Offer one more smile
Open up the sky with it
Make bright my dark days
2
want to be numb
stop nerve endings from feeling
too much fire in me
3
Words carry the soul
Your breath is the chariot
Let free your own voice
4
valentine’s haiku
hallmark made this holiday
so trite and empty
5
sometimes i find it's
easier to hurt out loud
than just in silence
6
i find more ways to
distract myself daily from
what i know too well
7
i want to gaze at
her for so long my eyes burn
like she was the sun
8
i burn like the sun
smoldering ashes of red
crimson; douse me, please
9
a small boy stares out
from inside my eyes watching
the world around me
10
i wish the wind would
take me elsewhere; soaring high
above this strange place
11
my radiator
blew up and spurt thick, grey smoke
while i smiled and ate
12
keys click away all
day; there is no stop to this
incessant tapping
