Haiku

Night Shift Haiku

by ZacharyWGilbertJuly 3, 2019

Cold, dark and alone.

Tree, unseen wrapped in shadow.

Red burning eyes dim.

. . .

Awakened sun.

Swallowed whole horizon.

Rising or falling?

. . .

Dreams dance in night time.

Ashy concrete walls entomb.

Awake, my dreams die.

. . .

Return of Haiku

by ZacharyWGilbertApril 16, 2018

Crank turning, rusty heart.

An old soul pushes past pain,

body fades.  Love endures.

. . .

Words buried, trapped,

swell within, a writers mind,

idle fingers ache.

. . .

True Love Never Fails

Often, tired, wounded, hurt.

True Love Never Fails

. . .

Midnight Haiku

by ZacharyWGilbertDecember 23, 2017

Under night’s cold, lost.

Communal spirit, dies alone.

Daylight humans cry.

. . .

 My apparition,

drowns within false ocean sounds

daylight claws my tomb.

. . .

Brain drinks sweet sunlight,

soul tastes the sweet sound of people.

Lost, to night.  Starving…

. . .

Healing Haiku

by ZacharyWGilbertNovember 29, 2017

Define you.  Yourself.

Others Darkness, scratch false portraits.

 Beautiful mirror.  You.

. . .

Others matter more.

Death steals, pieces of hearts.

Others, matter more.

. . .

How does the story land?

Soft white butterfly, drifting?

 To be human.  Told.

. . .

Haiku of Hope

by ZacharyWGilbertNovember 25, 2017

Impact, owner-less.

Evil words consume soft souls light.

Intent. Hates, disease.

. . .

Underdog. Hope lost.

Fighting until breath is spent.

Over under, my minds wager.

. . .

Yellow, warm light seeps in.

Sipping gray fog from hearts cup.

Pain’s ache becomes scars.

. . .
