The Empty Space Inside My Mind

There is a space inside my mind

A void of emptiness you may find

I throw in thoughts and useless things

And wonder what forever brings



This place I use to disappear

When there are other people near

Asking questions, pretend concern

Unto my empty thoughts I turn



I build a wall up, make it strong

Get inside, it won't last long

I live alone inside my mind -

You may look, but you won't find

Haiku #2

Stars shining brightly

Twinkling pinholes in the night

Lights on in heaven

Haiku #1

Breaking waves of sound

Rock and water here embrace

Crashing waterfall

Firelight

Desperation runs along my veins

Hot like ice to the skin

when the salt is only almost

there, where it hurts without the pain of pleasure

Aching in my bones for those desires

run rampant in my soul

And only I can know those

unbridled yet unkindled passions

that are so very cold and yet....

my soul's on fire
