Haiku - a Collection

All Grown Up?
Old man, remember?
Remember the sweet child?
The child all grown up?

The Beach
The beach, always there,
Calls to me, sad or happy,
You can find me here.
*
My Dreams
Did I lose my way?
My dreams are gone, slipped away…
Did they blow away?
*
If I called…
I need to ask you-
Would you come, if I called out-
If I called your name?
*
Innocence
I see you, still young!
In my minds' eye, time stands still.
Innocence, long gone.
*
Come and Go…
People I have known,
For oh so long, come and go.
Like the ocean's tides.
*
Letting Go
Slipping away now.
Will I finally let go?
Gone - not forgotten.
*
The Cracks
Life, once so complete,
Did not fail me, so to speak,
I slipped through the cracks…
*
Stolen
Thinking what you took,
Against my will; stole from me!
No more, go away!
*
Anger
Anger creeps inside.
And I want to get even
God Grant me some peace
*
Surviving
My poor stomach aches.
And my life seems just too hard…
What else can I do?
*
I miss you!
Sadly I miss you,
In my head, I know better,
But the heart is deaf!
*
Sundown
Sun sets over oceans,
Fog comes rolling into shore,
It's time to go home.
*
Time to go to bed
The sun is setting,
Nature is in a flurry!
Time to go to bed!
*
Tied in knots…
I tied both my shoes,
Baby tried to tie hers too!
Knots on both her shoes!
*
Birds
I heard the birds call-
It reminds me of my loss,
Birds call out sadness.
*
Cat
stretches hard, yawns…
Makes me want to be cat too,
Forget about you!
*
My Lost Friend
From out of no where…
My lost friend came back today.
How long will he stay?
*
Your Daddy,
I see your daddy,
When I see your smile, your eyes,
Makes me smile again.
*
Together
Remember us then?
You and me together, then?
Together no more!
*
The Truth
Could you, Would you, tell-
If it cost nothing at all?
Could you tell the truth?
*
Telling…
The tears on my cheeks,
tell more than I ever could say,
with mere words today.
*
My Heart
My heart breaks softly,
And still breaks every day,
Aching always still.
*
Balloon
Balloon floating high.
Did you let go of the string?
You still see it too?
*
Death
Dead leaf falls, silent.
Took it home to remind me.
Death is part of life.
*
My Shower
Showering naked.
All slippery and soaking wet.
Thinking of you still!
*
Summer
Weather is changing.
Summer comes, we feel more free.
I love the summer!
*
Balloons
Balloons floating up high,
Many colors fill the sky.
Who let them go; why?
*
Day ends...
The day ends, night falls.
We sure all gave it our best!
Another day waits….
*
How???
How can I tell you,
How would it make sense to you,
How I still love you?
*
Warmth
Warmth inside your soul,
Grows until you can give some,
To one who needs it.
*
Let healing begin
Let healing begin.
And let it begin with me.
Let it be within.
*
Until then.
I will love again.
I'm comfy in my own skin.
For now; until then.
*
You too?
Out of the darkness,
And learning to love myself.
And someday, you too?
*
Into the light...
Waited all my life,
My eyes are open for this.
I step into light.
*
Loyal to myself...
Taking steps, stand strong.
Look forward to adventures.
Loyal to myself.
*
My promise...
No longer love others,
before myself, I promise!
That leads to self-loathe.
*
I did survive!
I have built tall walls,
and I coped an attitude.
Thus I did survive!
*
Let no one steal yours
Let no one steal yours;
Your mind, your thoughts or your heart.
Don't let them steal it!
*
Survival
Slings, arrows, pierced me.
Word-smithing for my comfort.
Strong childhood spirit!
*
Forced out of childhood...
Robbed of my innocence,
You must get wise to survive.
Forced out of childhood.
*
Pain ages young ones...
How could the child write,
of things a child should not know?
Pain ages young ones!
*
Sweet Waxen Buds
The citrus orchard,
In full bloom, sweet waxen buds,
Tart fruits ripen there.
*
Visit My Dreams
Did you go alone?
Did you have to leave us now?
Visit my dreams, please.
