The Continuation Haiku Game

And remember Love.
She remembers you so well.
You left her with child.

 

you left her with child
tilling land with loving hand
life gropes for the sky

 

Life gropes for the sky
A trembling hand reaching up
blood dripping downwards

 

Blood dripping downwards
while the spirit rises up
like a bird in flight

 

Like a bird in flight
inspiration rides the wind
limits are but lies

 

limits are but lies
lies that bind us to this life
waiting to be free

 

Waiting to be free,
Hands gripping the cold, steel bars,
Begging for release,

 

Begging for release
Pleading to be made to fly
But are wings freedom?

 

Butter Wings. Freedom.
Fluttering Feathers Silent.
Stay Away From Heat.

 

(Methinks that was cheating. )

Stay away from heat.
'Tis not simple warmth you feel,
But approaching Hell.

 

But approaching Hell
Will help you remember all
The love that you had

 

The love that you had
Had you from the beginning -
emptied bank account.

 

emptied bank account
she took everything from me
but my broken heart

 

But my broken heart,
Is stabbing me from inside,
Daggers of crushed love.

 

Daggers of crushed love
Swords of unkempt promises
When will the pain end

 

When will the pain end?
The flowers wait for spring rain.
Their petals cleans me.

 

Their petals cleans me
Dew dripping in spring morning
In swirling fog hides

 

In swirling fog hides
the knowledge of inner self.
Will you find it soon?

 

Will you find it soon
The final piece of my heart
She stole it from me

 

She stole it from me
My grandmother's jade necklace
Sly little sister

 

Sly little sister
She's always hiding from me
I will find her soon

 

I will find her soon
before my time runs out here
And the moon runs free

 

And the moon runs free
Free of the chains and bars that
Hold it prisoner

 

Hold it prisoner
But my sister she held on
Clasping the necklace

 

Clasping the necklace
Hoping that she will come back
knowing that she wont
