Poem
When fate pulls at my haiku of heartstrings, I curse the syllables of my poetic musings. If I do not express my sorrows, how will petals blossom in my garden? Upon the midst of bewilderment, lost without a bosom for a sanctuary. Life can cause confusion; seem somewhat an illusion; when the mind only sees disillusion. Upon the depths of despair; placed upon the ledge of melancholy - legs dangle, eyes stare into random space. Absent thoughts have no demand, yet the soul is insistent, but, all that is seen is darkness; charcoal horizons with no guiding stars, with the moon obscured by dull smoke, jaded eyes simply wonder why. What has become of me? I despise the voices controlling my head. I'm afraid of the images they've created. Who will save me from this ludicrous lucidity. Can anyone prevent vicious vines from suffocating me? Vertigo seduces the mind, influencing it to leap - but it has no faith. Below lies an endless void, a collection of human delusions; an abyss of crushed expectations. Heaven's broken arrows rain down, blood dripping with fragments of broken dreams. A reminder of another false pledge - the final episode of a heart's connection. Flames of hell prepare to scorch me. Sometimes growth is like a stream, that has lost itself in an ocean. No identity, misplaced and alienated, so it dies a slow death. A sigh can only become deceased, when a heart does not beat. So, why do so many die when the water of existence is in your hands? In the marketplace of life, each merchant will give you a different price. Some will try to sell you dreams, others, goods on false pretences. Be careful, not to give all your emotions away to the first bidder; life is an auction - don't let the auctioneer play with your heart. Sometimes love is an unpredictable enigma. I'm tired of living around gambolling gambits, who's games condemn a soul to suicide. But, little do they know, I am a master of self deprecating. The greatest of all pretenders, suffering from a poison mistake that lives with me forever.
