#haiku by @allnitewatchman   [Home]
Tears fell from your eyes / It's nothing you replied / it's only loneliness
She was silent / Words fell into emptiness / Nothing much mattered
Life comes undone / Defeated and broken / And fragments from the past
Hacking off my fingers / One by one / And bleeding like a stuffed pig
Is that you / Behind that mask / All frightened and unsure of herself
I do know the sound / Of one hand clapping / It is silence and death
Goin' to Funkytown / Gotta turn it up / Play it loud and dance forever
I woke up / The house was on fire / And I had nowhere else to go
Your love is like glass / She reminded me / All shattered and broken
First the pills and razorblades / Now the loaded gun / This must be the way
Your little world / Means almost nothing / Next to my fucked up life
The rock guitarist / Cranked his amp / And blew everyone away
Take all the blue / From the sky / And put it into your savings account
There is no poetry / in life / only boredom, failure, and sameness
Take this butterfly / Pull off its wings / Let it fall to the ground and die
Scream rock and roll / You narcissistic fool / And forever dance the night away
I pulled the trigger / On the gun / And quickly blew away her brains
He read his own poetry / While the crowd / Paid no attention and slept
You're going much too fast / She said / As I unfastened her bra
Piss, shit, fuck, and puke / These kind of words / Are not that poetic right now
I come to you in sadness / I am sorry / It's all that I have now
You motherfucker / Don't tell me / This is not a stupid damn haiku
Wild things / Are very much like stallions / Running over the hills at dawn
That goddamn freak over there / Told me point blank / This was not a haiku
Come over here / And say it to my face / I'll punch your freaking lights out
You catch my breath / With your charming smile / And you leave me suffocating
You lie with the lambs / I'll go with the dogs / And see how this life unfolds
Don't ever bitchslap me / She said / As I took a sip from my coffee
