More Haikus

You rued my demise

She rooted for my rebirth

Think she loves me more

Masochism, Mike, Maven

Had to do a spot of online 'public speaking' today. Started writing a haiku to calm myself, which turned into many. 

Restlessness beckons

says I would like her more than

being calm and still

Butterflies in hordes

Flutter about in stomach

Seek release through speech

Will address thousands

But cannot talk to the self

Communication!

Turn on your mike please

audio video live

tongue gets tied at once

Anticipation

Inhale and slowly exhale

You know you got this

Silence at the end

Tension says it was too bad

Or was it too good

Congratulations

You got through the test of fire

You will speak better

Congratulations

You got through the test of fire

You will sleep better

LIMBO/Awaiting Resurrection

Struck? Stuck? Still sensitive?

How much does a fate have to do?

How hard must a future pull you?

Will you be drawn to it with practised ease,

or death, disillusionment, pain and disease?

Do guardian angels drop you subtle hints?

Or do they have to threaten, coax and cajole?

Or are you so comfortable with your sins,

they won't touch you with a ten-foot pole.

Does the devil have you on speed dial?

A four AM friend who calls out of the dark?

Or are you just one more thing to defile

before he moves on to his next gullible mark?
