Eyes open, glowing
as sunlight dances at dawn;
a nightmare thwarted.

a nightmare thwarted,
white sheets spill onto stained tiles
turned gold by sunrise.



Spoiler
Love that haiku, @Starve!

turned gold by sunrise,
leaving the dust and ashes
that clouded her heart.
I only put my signature on big cheques.

Leave her clouded heart,
one cannot reason with storms,
you can only wait.
you should know i am a time traveler &
there is no season as achingly temporary as now
but i have promised to return

You can only wait
for the snowflake to perch on
your rose-button nose.
When you're faced with something you don't understand, I think the most natural thing but also least interesting thing you can be is afraid.

Your rose-button nose,
Ivory skin, cherry mouth,
Bring summer closer.

Bring summer closer,
I want to enjoy again—
daily cold showers.

Daily cold showers
on fields make puddles in grass,
reflecting grey skies.

reflecting grey skies
that hold back tears of nature,
mourning over its loss.
I only put my signature on big cheques.

Mourning over its loss,
the perfect raincloud goes pale,
crumbling in droplets.

Crumbling in droplets,
the raincloud smiles through tears,
remembering love.
There is always something left to love.

Remembering love
is a futile exercise;
try and you'll find more.

Try and you'll find more
dust coating the desk surface -
yesterday, spotless.

Yesterday, spotless,
the constellations appeared,
today, forever.
There is always something left to love.

today, forever;
tomorrow is a fire
fly bobbing ahead.
