I am stifled by the stale air

The air you exhale in my presence

Puffs of nonsense that belittle

Sighs of disgust, yours, not mine

I try, but get knocked down

Pick myself up, only to fall again

Not at your feet, but at mine

Kneeling, praying, anything

To better understand the why

Or to not understand at all

I’ve been told so many times

And still, these days pass

And nights become terror

As I find myself lost in a dream

Or perhaps, more of a fog

Unable to see what lies ahead

Grateful to be unable to see

What I left behind

Authors Note: It’s hard to believe today marks my 200th haiku in Morgan’s challenge. Thank you all for indulging me on this journey 🙂


Heed the ocean’s roar

For in it, your spirit breathes

When the waves exhale

The winds blow strong

Like a storm, passing by

Quickly, taking all in its path

Leaves on the trees, rustling

A low pitch whistle, their cry

Of forceful air, as they gather

In a swirling dance, rhythmic

Sending them spiraling

Into places unknown

Much like the night

After the rumbling thunder

Has long been forgotten…

She was always cranky, when she was tired

Always felt worthless, and so uninspired

No one would listen, to her painful plight

Not even the sunset, would kiss her goodnight

So she plotted anew, gave him just one more chance

He ignored her again, this was not happenstance

The time had now come, with malicious desire

To offer herself, to the one with the fire

The flames grew taller, surrounded her being

And darkness engulfed her, with sparks, ever freeing

She welcomed the demons, she’d kept tucked away

She knew she would need them, on this, judgment day

Rain dampened petals

Still hoping for renewed life

Drink in the sunlight
