a winter haiku

As the months go by

The plants will die just to live

All over again

Beautiful

I want to write about something beautiful

Like the leaves of a tree glowing from the sun's reflection

Or the feeling of a warm breeze on your cheeks

But I think the best poets

Live in the dark

 

Is it true?

Narcissism

I look for poems that are pieces of me

Broken mirrors

Scattered in books

Sharp enough to cut

But at least I can see my reflection

Insomnia

Every night I reel myself out of drowning waters

Thoughts flooding

Body weakening

It's time to rest

To the bottom I sink

Where my dreams await
