slice of life – Page 26

Haiku 114/365

It’s because we think— We feel, we fear, we sink deep Into our mind.

Take away the smoke But without it life’s a joke A fear driven road

Whittling away Hard to write- it’s hard to say What’s the point of this?

The light beckoned Earth To come and live. To bask in The glory of love.

Pink satin dripped on Skin. Mindless thoughts that begin Endless in time’s sin.

Canvases were bought. Emo rock surged in the air. The time to paint neared.

Long rivers flowing see the color in your eye It hurts in knowing

Rain and sunshine paints The skies beyond the window Here in the city.

Drifting like fog I’m Stuck as a cog in the wheel It’s just how I feel.

The smoke fills my lungs thoughts rush to my tongue—I pause —caught under the sun
