Flowing Thoughts
Non-Traditional Haiku
-Saint-
Words may wound, but my words are not intended as such. Merely shallow reflections on the surface of this vast pool. Thoughts and feelings are fleeting in this world. Ink to paper allows them to become Immortalized.

VERSE ONE: THE VERSE OF HOPE
My pen exploded
Like blood from the arteries
Inconvenient mess
Chaos rules my heart
We are shrouded by heavy hands
Let it flow away
Within our own hearts
We feed the wolves that devour
Find the peace of life
The days pass away
Time flowing in all directions
Peace is here, my heart
There is darkness here
Sorrows bite is bitter; Death
I am only me
Can I find no place?
My heart, it bleeds as a stone
Rejection, my friend
Why do I desire
I feel no joy, where am I
I run from the path
I absorb the flow
A stagnant pool unto I
Ichor devours
My legs hold me fast
Sand through the hourglass
Thoughts, an avalanche
It beats no longer
Quietly steadily go
Darkness now shrouds me
Eternal light glows
Banishing the ignorance
Strength lies within soul
Misconstrued in mind
We walk upon the narrow
Leap from the cliffs edge
As ink to paper
Your actions mark my heart, pain
A bridge, cross the gap
Space and time collide
The past burns its way in thoughts
Forging the future
What is my purpose
I struggle to make ends meet
How can I survive
Can I remain calm
Do not allow these feelings
Corruption in heart
Swirling in despair
Inner strength I walk this path
Breathe, I cannot stray
Age weighs spirits down
Memories from the past haunt
Sleep abandons us
Blinded by desire
We do not see before us
I smile, tragedy
You do not see me
Why am I invisible
In shadows pursue
What is it I want
How can I go catch the wind
Enjoy the present
Moments pass without
What decisions should I make
My mind dwells on you
A clean break, quick pain
Heal, it will subside in time
You will not do it
We cannot exist
You have made your decision
I must respect it
Words do not express
What flows within this cold heart
Turn my head away
Cherry blossoms fall
Winter is upon my soul
Let the frost cover
Every action flows
Paid, are the consequences
Where do they lead us
Wanting nothing now
I try to calm the waters
I desire peace
Truth within legend
Separation from the lies
Trust what your heart says
Knowledge is my might
Pieces of life swirl about
Bend, the winds fury
Make them feel sorrow
Share the things that burden me
I have no more words
Please leave me alone
Let me dwell in my tower
Ivy growth covers
Tears turn to diamond
Precious in their perfect way
Cherish them in time
Eats away inside
Burns within my gut, suffer
Is there no relief
Pressure in my head
Eyes bulge, tongue dry, sore muscle
The end, is this death
Passion through the days
Monuments to memories
Live not in the past
