Mock human
Mocking human sorrow
Under a guise
A disguise
Of shared humanity
Which, were you to dig deep
You would dig
Had you any true depth at all

Blueridge Jaw: A Haiku
So pretty you wish
The liar had been ugly
He wasn’t, was he?
Two Of You
Too much to bear
Lying there
By your side
Dying inside
Doubting twin
Stranger to yourself, you
Strangled, then stifled
My abundance
Magical beat-downs
Neither finger nor voice raised
Black and blue and dazed
My trust and hope, drained
Wear your lying, victim’s eyes
Cloak yourself in feigned faithfulness
Lady-friends who rescued you
Shall soon become your targets, too
Faux Husbands
Polluted river
Sweet toxicity
Looking back
At bodies
At words
At actions
Poisons me
Mirrored sunglasses
Ripped off
Walk on
Beautiful bride
Walk on
Darlin’ Dear
When I wronged her months ago
She spoke to my calamity
With kindness
With humility
To her surprise, she empowered me
My ego now in overdrive
We’d make the Thousand Mile Drive
And I’d stay silent, in my self-defense
And punish her for her offense
Of trusting me with honesty
She wanted what I’d promised us
My best from me
Instead I killed her, once back then
Plus each day since
Her, my best friend
Her ghost grieves to this very day
But I am okay
I walked away
Unmine: A Haiku
You feigned happiness
I do understand I do
I deserve no truth

Replacing now
Bone with bar
Skin with sheath
Heart’s daily death with a droid
Electronic love
An absence of like
Is all that exists
Amidst overhead LED light
Otherworld lips
Underworld talk
Virtual touch
Downloaded now
Understanding: A Haiku
Information feigned
Captivated, I ask, “Why?”
Then set out to know
grandmasterÂ
On the surface there’s shine
Polished and forged
So as to showcase
A most lovable lie
Their accolades, yours
As my ears cringe
For there is that shallow, shallow heart
Dulled early
Tilled over
By one finely chiseled intellect
That what fear, I fear to wonder
They can never hear
