Old Reliable Haiku

Even if your heart
has taken quite the beating,
at least it still beats.

L.O.V.E. Notes: Kissing The Clouds

We didn't need eyes to see how high we were
but I wanted to see anyway
and that's when it happened
that's when I fell
not in love as I was already in love
but I fell from your good graces
then I became distant
and that's when things became different
now I don't want these eyes anymore
because their vision couldn't be trusted 
I was much happier just being 
much happier just being with you
we didn't need eyes to see how high we were
but I wanted to see anyway
instead I only saw how I came so close
so close to kissing the clouds

Believing In Your Amazing

Anxiety had me
and so did depression sadly
but even though I kept crying
that didn't stop me from trying
I believed in the impossible
that's what makes anything possible 
so I chose to walk away
still having bills to pay
and of course I was afraid
because with no financial aid
I could lose it all 
but there's a reason we fall 
there's a reason we stumble
it keeps us humble
unemployment was no fun
so I did what had to be done
I applied where I could
took jobs I said I never would
I believed in the impossible
that's what makes anything possible 
so after months of wanting more
I finally got the job I'd hoped for
and right before the end of the year
I couldn't help but shed a tear
because of what I went through
and what it meant to
finally get that chance
that opportunity to advance 
but none of it would've been possible
if I hadn't believed in the impossible
my impossible

L.O.V.E. Notes: Playing My Part

I should just learn to play my part
why does everything I do have to be from the heart
not only am I completely insane 
but I'm also stupid for thinking I can avoid the pain
I've been told not to care as much as I do
"don't look for someone to care just as much as you"
but I never listen though
even though I remember those days when I just didn't know
and people would ask me how's my depression
instead of asking me how's my progression
my fear led to me pushing the one I loved away
but that's a story for another day
I still regret that I couldn't get her to stay
then best friends dropped off the face of the earth 
around the same time I was questioning my own worth
so when I'm asked why do I care so much for
I think about those times when I should've cared more
and all the prices that I've paid
which is why I try to inspire using mistakes I've made
it's a start 
probably not smart
but I'm just learning to play my part

Sleepless Nights Haiku

By the looks of things
those nightmares are causing more
trouble than they're worth.

Pieces Of Your Haiku

Don't give your heart to 
someone who just wants to see
how easy it breaks.

L.O.V.E. Notes: Cupid's Arrows

He offered to help me on many occasions
but I turned him down
even though he knew how hard it was
as getting his wife was no easy task 
I still turned him down
he offered to shoot my heart's desire
but I turned him down
he even offered to give me an arrow
again respectfully I turned him down
not because of what people said about him
or how they feel about him
but because I wanted to do it on my own
without the help of an arrow
some say he can't shoot
others say he never misses
but I'll never know 
because the love that I have
didn't come from any of Cupid's arrows 
and neither will the love of my life

Never Been This Haiku

So close to the edge,
but not close enough to fall. 
Just look at that view.

Ode To The Celestial Being

Somewhere in the cosmos
you'll find her
lighting up the skies 
she's not a consolation prize
more like a constellation in disguise
but she doesn't belong to Orion
and she doesn't belong to me 
the universe has her
she is its cosmic key 
able to move through space 
and any place in time
she could place herself in your mind
or any other place you find
but that would be just fine with me
because I'm light years behind
if God let me plan it

I would leave this planet
and let the universe take me
the way it took her
then we would at least be parallel 
living an interplanetary fairy tale 
I love how that sounds 
getting lost in her presence
but never lost in her essence
