A snake.
His plead.
An apple.
Bittersweet.
A boy.
Apple shared.
God’s anger.
Unfair.
Unfair.
A new word.
The bite.
Why I know.
Punished.
Pain to be.
I took a bite.
So did he.

Monday, My Sunday
She said her name was Monday.
Dull.
Drab.
Dreary.
She wished she was a Friday.
Dazzling.
Dauntless.
Daring.
She wanted to be dangerous.
Bad.
Brash.
Bloody.
I call my darling Sunday.
Lazy.
Laughing.
Lovely.
Lioness
She was most often like a rabbit,
Scared and shivering in fear.
Until her kit was threatened before her,
And a lioness would appear.
Constellation
They’re only dots in the sky,
We’ve turned into constellations.
They’ve become beautiful stories,
Through our vast imagination.
Haiku: Roles
It’s quite amazing.
How many people you are.
Dad, son, brother, love.
Strangers
Sometimes it’s among strangers.
People we’ll never again see.
That we are ourselves.
As true as can be.
Taxing
It’s taxing, exhausting, a wrecking of my nerves,
It’s hard, and it’s tough, and no more than I deserve.
For as I look back on all of my mistakes,
I realise that hard work is how I them repay.
So I struggle now, to make up for the past,
For I am determined to right my wrongs at long last.
Doubt
Few things are as hard
As choices, you need to make,
For whatever you may choose,
Doubts will follow in its wake.
You can only pick one,
And forever you will wonder,
Did I make the right choice?
Or was it all a huge blunder?
So choose your choice now,
And forget your distress.
For in the end all you can do,
Is to hope for the best.
Adjust
When your world is tipped upside down.
And all you knew has gone and turned around.
When all the praises bestowed, turned into a frown.
And you were given a ring of thorns in place of a crown.
Adjust. Or perish. The choice is yours.
Are you giving into illness? Or searching for cures?
