Inside, Things were changing, I didn’t know, Until everything was outside, I have been exposed, Without clothes, With my woes, My heart strings, Being pulled, I am not in control, Anymore.
When the world doesn’t know what’s inside, you hide, so it won’t be on display, until someone save you from yourself, then you outside of thoughts, not locked in.
As the night leans in, fully frontal, No shame in its naked glow, Every shadow stores a kiss, for which is placed below. Sitting beneath the weight of stars, Where each voyeur goes further into the distance, As if they, too, cannot escape gravity,
The moon high and brazen, Illuminates every curve of thought in sight, Dragging secrets from dark corners, Laying them bare across velvet skies.
There is no hiding within reach, no silk to cover desires, Your name lingers, stitched into the air, Each letter curling with allure, A whisper that tastes like honey,
Melting slowly, seeping deep inside my skin, What is this feeling? Even silence has a pulse tonight. Its rhythm tracing the lines of my breath, Pushing me further so I can melt, The soft surrender where ache meets satisfaction, And I let it pull me under.
Time loses itself in moments like this. Where the body remembers what the heart forgets. And the night blooms again, fully open, Like lips waiting to be kissed.
Some days I can’t fight the woes; I run away from the highs and the lows. When my life has found more purposes, I froze, until fresh air blew to unlock my toes so I can walk again.

Every Wednesday a new haiku will be live on my website with my Haiku Wednesday stream. Never miss a week.
I am always looking at whips I can’t buy, Wishing I get the life I wanted, Because of the right contracts I did not sign, I think I will be fine, Just bottled up hope, Not laughing anytime soon, But people think it’s a joke, I just want to disappear, And then reappear, Just to see if anyone missed me, If that girl I wanted so bad will ever kiss me, Realistically, I think she might can do better, I am still in this storm that I weathered.
