Haikus 01-20

_{Water’s gentle stream,
Life’s essence flows unending,
Time’s eternal dream.}

Stream of Eternity

_{In shadows she walks,
Her darkness, my guiding light,
Life’s meaning in black.}

Nysra 01

_{Empty beats and noise,
Words lost in a hollow din,
Rap’s echo fades fast.}

Rap’s Fade

_{Tommy guns ablaze,
Silent streets in shadows wait,
Power bought with blood.}

Tommy Gun Nights

_{Rising costs abound,
Struggles in each passing day,
Hope a distant sound.}

_{Silent cries for aid,
Economic storms we face,
Unity will save.}

_{Endless tasks each day,
Coworkers’ chatter wears thin,
Quiet moments stray.}

_{Government’s deceit,
Promises that lead to naught,
Trust erodes so fleet.}

_{Shadows cloud my mind,
Is this life worth the struggle?
Hope feels hard to find.}

_{In the mirror’s gaze,
I question my place, my worth,
Seeking brighter days.}

_{Raindrops kiss the earth,
Life’s pulse in each gentle wave,
Nature’s breath reborn.}

Rebirth in Raindrops

_{Raven hair, dark eyes,
Her mystery is my world,
Life breathes in her night.}

Nysra 02

_{Bootleg liquor flows,
Speakeasies hide dark secrets,
Gangsters rule the night.}

Speakeasy Shadows

_{Prohibition’s grip,
Whispers in the smoky bars,
Legends rise and fall.}

Prohibition Echoes

_{Jobs are hard to find,
Dreams deferred and plans delayed,
Tides of change unkind.}

_{Bills stack ever high,
Stress and worry cloud the mind,
Peace feels far away.}

_{People act so blind,
Common sense a rare gem lost,
Patience hard to find.}

_{Daily grind persists,
Weary hearts and minds endure,
Dreaming of sweet bliss.}

_{Am I worthy, true?
Happiness seems distant, faint,
Doubts are all I knew.}

_{Life’s path seems unclear,
Waves of sorrow pull me down,
Is joy ever near?}
