A House That Leans/ Bar Haiku/ Magic Lost

Poetry and a Haiku

In a house that leans

I find sanctuary

The peace I've sought for so long

Though new life has sprung

I grow wary

The scales have been tipped

for too long

Although this place

feels sometimes heavy

this is what I wanted

It's true

And my foundation, you see,

isn't steady

But I'd rather be here

with you

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That look she gives you

Nothin between you both now

But smoke....and mirrors

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ive lost a special part of me

Perhaps you know it now

A color which youve never seen

Something I never show

Found in spaces between the stars

Its always been a part of me

An extra emotion I cant describe

Ive searched under the trees of owls

In forgotten lakes an streams

Its a thing which nymphs will forfeit

When they fall in love with human beings
