mono no aware

 

I woke up saying,

"Ah! Mono no #aware."

Her side of the bed.

malice

 

When I talked about love,

Your #pejorative criticism

Could not be mistaken 

For jealousy or possessiveness.

Undisguised malice,

Wielded so brutally,

Leaving no survivors,

When we talked about love.

misconception

 

Zombies don't shuffle

And #forage for human flesh.

They aren't creeps like us.

hopeless prayer

 

Why do I use words

That's like a hopeless prayer?

For example, #guide.

what's with them

 

what's with them

liking poetry

no twists in the tale

not even a cliff-hanger

it's not the brevity 

or life love lust

or ways to #slaughter

not even a romp in the sack

why do they lie #together

not ask a question

not in blank verse

not even in iambic whatameter

exchange

 

I promised to change.

For that, I had to exchange

Old love for new love. 

#vss365 #change

already ghosts

 

I remember my first glass of #champagne.

That too with strawberries and such. With her.

"Can I just have 7up and French fries?"

"I was going to suggest the same."

We didn't curl up in front of a fireplace.

We were nude and happy. And already ghosts.

#NALove

lost meaning

 

I heard "#Aloha"

And thought about its meaning.

Missed love #forever.

#haiku #senryu ?

we are both, aren't we?

 

"How did you like the trip?"

"Overrated places. Where was Romance?"

"The #quintessence of honesty, you are." 

"What's with those statues? Men with small..."

"Went with your spouse?"

"Huh?"

"It was ok for me. With my lover."

"Forgotten we are both, huh?"

"But..."

no response no future

 

When you don't respond,

I hear your disapproval. 

#Critique: no future.
