Fun pala magsulat ng haiku

My heart is racing
Eyes and shoulders are heavy
Need time to digest


I ask the question
“What time is it already?”
As smoke fills my lungs


Will I waste my time
Listening to dried up wisdom
That puts me to sleep


To scream inside me
Held down by unseen fetters
Is all I could do


Sun hides behind gray
As the walls cover the gray
Closed eyes create light


Leaves sway with the breeze
The sky is clear, blue, and white
But where is the sun?


Withering flower
Refusing to accept life
Always in its reach


Delicious monay
Relieves me of my weakness
Thank you very much


Standing on asphalt
I enjoy the sight of grass
Right beside my feet

One bite at a time
Vultures feast on my body
When will I find rest?


The dog barks loudly
For it knows its time has passed
So just let it bark


Shall I shift my gaze
As her eyes fix upon me
My hands draw unseen


Without any choice
The flower grew among weeds
Guilty but blameless

I could only watch
The frog as it lets itself
Boil in hot water

Her special power
To create a time space warp
Please help me escape

If I had a wish
I would learn ninjitsu skills
And then disappear

home?

This is where I belong
I’ve searched far and long
I can be my Self
And peace has found me

Seen my best and my worst
Here and now they coexist
I like who I become
And wonder how else I’ll change

Anxiety still comes
But more for them than for me
I’ve found that safe place
Now I pray they do so as well

All my travels and woes
Start to make sense
Led to right now and right here
In this place where I belong
