Haiku: My Pet

my sweet darling pet
a fluffy cute butterball
meowing I’m spoilt

excessive living
a candy-coated heaven
dreaming about us
solid gold shoes and silk socks
carried around by robots

A misunderstood person.
A bitch to some, yet a lover and a fighter to a few.

When the time came,
there were no lights in the sky, nor any miracles.

From the belly of the beast
came forth a gift like no other;
a bundle of innocent magic, a gift of a dream.

Obscured by darkness
Revealed by moonlight
Beauty amongst roses
Ugliness in those eyes
Purring for a night kiss
Lips cold as winter ice

Memories of the
pot plant on the window sill.
Mum’s purple Orchids.

Favourite green dress
Worn until the cotton frayed
Another green dress

Walk with me,
walk by my side without judgement,
walk on the outside like Dad used to do.

Walk without the anger you always feel,
walk without scolding me in public;
I’m not perfect, and neither are you.

Walk-in tandem with me,
yet you never do.

We exist alongside each other,
unable to forget all the water
flowing under the bridge.

A glass heart breaking,
shards of brokenness scatter,
strewn mercilessly.

Rosy red lips,
supple sweet hips.

A mind like a whip
giving you the lip.

Pride and Prejudice vibes,
taking all of those jibes.

Pale innocence is a lure,
a desire for what is pure.

Mazarine eyes of light,
dancing into the night.

A chance to ask her for more,
relieved you don’t see the door.

The sea calls you both away,
to say what you want to say.

The new moon darkness,
starlight brightens the ink night,
floating in the pool.
