The shuffle of the words
My eyes move along the pages
Tapping the fragments of a different reality

like cherry blossoms
we always bloom with color
but fall down too soon
they told me to never give up on my dreams.

so i took another nap

we fall down too soon
withering away to dust
cold reality
mint, she/her

cold reality
cannot withstand the blister
and heat of loving
they told me to never give up on my dreams.

The heat of loving
Grows cold against
The icy winds of hate

The icy winds of hate
reverb in crystal caverns,
becoming stone-songs.
she/her

becoming stone-songs
meant to scorn the universe,
fueled by raging fire.
I only put my signature on big cheques.

fueled by raging fire
fathers hands glide over and
softly steady mine

two soft and steady
hands, beaten but not broken,
lift me from the mud.
she/her

green grass that is hope
blankets the springtime valley
blowing in the wind
mint, she/her

blowing in the wind
hopes know where they need to fly
so they land softly

'Don't they land softly?'
The bird breathes to plucked feathers,
as they float away...

Spoiler
note for those unfamiliar with haiku form ~ the lines are 5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables ~ loving all the poems in here though, and also love how the themes always bounce around to so many different neat topics.
you should know i am a time traveler &
there is no season as achingly temporary as now
but i have promised to return

As they float away,
golden motes of dust cycle
glimmer-specks of sun.
she/her

Glimmer-specks of sun
Sparkle and shine, leaning over
Shivering trees



Lots of times you have to pretend to join a parade in which you're not really interested in order to get where you're going.
