Steel Lives On and Other Poems

Haikus (in no particular order)

Your voice calls to me,

like poetry in my ears:

with something to hide.

~

I stand there alone,

falling apart piece by piece.

You caused this, darling.

~

Time trickles away,

and pictures begin to fade,

but stars remember.

~

Sun and moon collide.

The stars burn bright and comets fly

as your lips touch mine.

 ~

Clouds smudge summer skies,

filling our young minds with hope:

dreams of brighter days.

~

Buildings rise. Towers.

Monuments of bitter loss.

Proof of misery.

~

Scars on hidden wrists,

clouds of despair raining down,

blocking out the hope.

~

A simple flower,

so perfect. It was made

only to whither.

~

You fooled me, you frog.

You stole my kiss and were gone.

You were not a prince.

~

Simple, bookish Belle:

she sees the false good in him,

consumed by the beast.

~

Flags as red as blood.

Rebellion flares quickly.

We are heroes now.

~

She is imperfect:

feels she is insufficiant.

She is beautiful.

~

Imperfections and

Insufficiancies are in

her beautiful heart.
