Between two palm trees
The ocean hangs in the balance
Tethered to each trunk.

Footsteps in the sand
Dissolve with each crashing wave.
I am swept away.

Welcome endless night
The time has come for darkness,
Time for clarity.

We walked in gardens
rose petals spilled on the path,
sanguine stepping stones.

I'm late! Time's run out.
The night men will be coming!
Have you seen my watch?

With raised gun he hunts
Always ready for the kill
This is intention.

She sits unmoving
all thoughts in mind disappear
This is mastery.

I have lost myself
I am locked in this Haiku
This is artistry.

Want a candy cane?
Afterall it is Christmas.
No? Fine, Fuck You then!
