Haiku XXX
Blinding, liquid light,
Steals and drinks luminescence,
Thirst never sated.

I Feel
Have you ever tried to open your heart?
To someone whom you adore
But yet they walk all over you
and break you to the core.
To someone whom you adore
But yet they walk all over you
and break you to the core.
Their callous, tearing, spiteful words
just cut you through and through.
Yet never even realize the hurt that they can do.
just cut you through and through.
Yet never even realize the hurt that they can do.
They walk along oblivious,
to what their feelings say.
And keep on crunching through your soul,
until you waste away.
to what their feelings say.
And keep on crunching through your soul,
until you waste away.
These two splendid poems have been joined together as part of our Short Poetry Spotlight this month.
