A Collection of Haikus

Sublime
Water rushes like 
Millions of sparkling 
Diamonds around me 

Perpetual
Everlasting love 
Existing only in dreams 
I wish it were real 

Extort
The words feel like knives
Slashing already open wounds
Just for your dumb love

Reverence 
I look to the sky 
And time seems to halt I breathe 
Flooded with sublime 

Trifle
You sit on a throne 
An invisible throne and
We all bow down low 

Sanctity
I flew to the clouds
And wings sprouted from my back
I am above all 

Blithe
You wish that I cared
More than I already do 
But I really don’t 

Kindred
You are like a tree
With many branches and leafs 
That extends so long 

Admonish
You had warned me not
To fall so deeply in love
I didn’t listen 

Decorum
You are in the sun
And get water once a day
Don’t die on me now
