"How dangerous is the acquirement of knowledge?"

Broken

Would you stay?

From your home

Would you cling to me?

Tethered 

You subdue my mind

Every passing eye watches

This waking life distressed

How beautiful the skies flowers

Trails of white lace

Porcelain skin

Your thoughts an illusion

Mechanical pleasures

What have you done?

Tunnel vision

I waste away

Inside your soul

Raising the dead

You'd kill to free me

I fill with joy

Measured in curve

Your silhouette ventures

Tempting the dragon

A blissful dance with fire

Your freedom stripped

We are all one in the same

So I ask again...

Broken

Would you stay?

From your home

Would you cling to me?

Or will you run into the nothing

Leaving no trace behind

The measure of one's worth by who they are upon this earth. Its like we seek to understand that which is beyond our thoughts and ponder if a battle must be fought. Yet, after seeing my soul's measure is it something valuable for you to treasure? Interesting, your poem caused me to go into another poetic mode of mine and I appreciate that. I can visualize a struggle between your version of home, purpose in life, and passion for another. Whether whole or broken I'd support you because your story hasn't been completely spoken. excellent work and keep writing my friend :)

We try so hard to be more when you truly are everything we could have hoped to be. Thank you so much for the insight.

A passion for haiku poetry began during world literature studies, inspired by its ability to convey profound ideas in a few syllables. Many of these haikus, capturing life's fleeting beauty, are featured in the book Blue Harlequin.
