Haiku Challenge - Stain

forever hopeful
of your love regardless of
the stains on my heart

Haiku Challenge - Chasm

Deep breath, here I stand
In quiet desperation
At the chasm edge

Runaway

runaway with me
for just one day
let's be children again
for just one day
one day to chase rainbows
one day to dream dreams
one day to stand in meadows
to be carefree
to be innocent
to be weightless
of worries
of burdens
of responsibilities
come
run away with me

Spot

could you spot me in the crowd
if i whispered your name loud enough
would you see me in this sea of faces
just a passing glance, can you place me
do you feel me when you're sleeping
reaching out to you while dreaming
could you spot me in the crowd
could you spot me
could you

Powder

powder on her face
powder on her nose
she takes her powder
wherever she goes
powder for fun thrills
powder for cheap thrills
powder for fast thrills
crush up more pills
powder dusted mirror
she needs it no more
powder and shattered glass
now litter the floor

Daily Oneword

Natural

short
petite
small chested
fair skin sprinkled with freckles
a natural resistance to tanning
one mole on the left side of her nose
straight hair, frizzes slightly in humidity
a dark brown with an immunity to even the strongest of hair dyes
brown almond shaped eyes
framed by straight lashes
that remain stubbornly so
and unwanted full lips
that she never knows quite what to do with

Daily Oneword

Bamboo

lacy shadows litter the dusty ground
we make no apologies for our dirty feet
squatting in cut off jeans and faded shirts
listening to the wind sing rustling lullabies
as it dances between towering bamboo stalks
