    our worries and fears
    keep us awake during nights
    make us run all day!

    Green grass left untamed
    Now weary from the sun
    Dries up into dirt
    The Moments of Dominion
    That happen on the Soul
    And leave it with a Discontent
    Too exquisite — to tell —
    -Emily Dickinson

    Silent muttering
    Echo in my hollow cave
    Throughout the midnight
    The Moments of Dominion
    That happen on the Soul
    And leave it with a Discontent

    Daniel, our first line is the last line from the previous haiku...

    make us run all day
    to our childhood in a cone
    songs from icecream trucks

    throughout the midnight
    she stares an empty stare, still
    in her wedding gown

    "But do you really, seriously, Major Scobie," Dr. Sykes asked, "believe in hell?"
    "Oh, yes, I do."
    "In flames and torment?"
    "Perhaps not quite that. They tell us it may be a permanent sense of loss."
    "That sort of hell wouldn't worry me," Fellowes said.
    "Perhaps you've never lost anything of importance," Scobie said.

    oops I didn't read the rules, sorry

    in her wedding gown
    veil wafts before porcelain
    sleep tight Ophelia

    (Back! Now with 50% more depressing stanza! I'm an upbeat guy, I promise...)

    sleep tight, Ophelia
    as we gather your roses
    broken, veiled, we march
    Dreams! adorations! illuminations! religions!
    the whole boatload of sensitive !

    brocken, veiled, we march
    into that unseen land of
    empty endless days
    The Moments of Dominion
    That happen on the Soul
    And leave it with a Discontent

    empty endless days
    finding my way to the bridge
    in search of rainbows
    Dreams! adorations! illuminations! religions!
    the whole boatload of sensitive !

    in search of rainbows
    on a sunless rainy day
    you bring sunlight
    The Moments of Dominion
    That happen on the Soul
    And leave it with a Discontent

    You bring sunlight
    in my otherwise bleak heart.
    There falls a teardrop
    Dreams! adorations! illuminations! religions!
    the whole boatload of sensitive !

    There falls a teardrop
    Like sweat from the smiling sun
    Joyously weeping
    The Moments of Dominion
    That happen on the Soul
    And leave it with a Discontent

    Joyously weeping
    in the heart of fractured sun,
    in smoke and mirrors
    Dreams! adorations! illuminations! religions!
    the whole boatload of sensitive !

    In smoke and mirrors
    The world disappears into
    Fractured, never-ending, dreams
    The Moments of Dominion
    That happen on the Soul
    And leave it with a Discontent

    never ending dreams
    they swirl, on my clay tea pot
    fortelling, future
