Shared HAIKU ! Join in, it's fun!

before you they break,
billows upon hidden reefs—
keeping you marooned...

Keeping you marooned
Requires far too much paint,
I can't be bothered.

I can't be bothered
By my neighbours who play songs
On a full volume

on a full volume
the black ink sits unmoving
unsatisfied wine

Unsatisfied wine
Has been left alone too long
Bitter to the taste

Bitter to the taste
An undeserved victory
Cheaters always lose

Cheaters always lose.
What better way than to say
I love you dearly.

I love you dearly,
My beautiful Beloved;
Don't ever leave me.

don't ever leave me
The life we have worked to build
Would vanish away

would vanish away,
dispel—dreamlike visions fade—
lost forever beyond…

Lost fore'er beyond,
Left in a sea of remorse
For all time to come.

for all time to come
you came and left me breathless
is my yearn for you

In my yearn for you
I abandoned all others
Seeking great treasure

seeking great treasures
in life's unbroken moments
it is but a thirst

It is but a thirst,
Still I seek to quench my need.
Please sir, give me drink
